Hearing impairment is often associated with damage to the hair cells in the cochlea.
Sometimes there may be complete loss of function of inner hair cells (IHCs) over a certain …

Now available in a sixth edition, An Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing is the leading
textbook in the field of auditory perception, also known as psychoacoustics. The textbooks …

This article reviews the evolution of a series of models of loudness developed in Cambridge,
UK. The first model, applicable to stationary sounds, was based on modifications of the …

Since the first edition was published in 1998, considerable advances have been made in the
fields of pitch perception and speech perception. In addition, there have been major …

We previously described a model for loudness perception for people with cochlear hearing
loss. However, that model is incompatible with our most recent and most satisfactory model …

Objectives: Open canal fittings are a popular alternative to close-fitting earmolds for use with
patients whose low-frequency hearing is near normal. Open canal fittings reduce the …

Moore et al (1999b) described a procedure, CAMEQ, for the initial fitting of multi-channel
compression hearing aids. The procedure was derived using a model of loudness …

Objectives: It is possible for auditory prostheses to provide amplification for frequencies
above 6 kHz. However, most current hearing-aid fitting procedures do not give …

The benefit for speech intelligibility of extending the bandwidth of hearing aids was
assessed when the target speech (sentences) and background (two talkers) were co-located …

The Desired Sensation Level (DSL) Method was originally developed in the early 1980s to
provide clinicians with a systematic, science-based approach to pediatric hearing instrument …
