Objective: This study evaluated the outcomes of the Oticon Medical Neuro Zti cochlear implant and the Neuro 2 sound processor. Design: Neuro One users were upgraded to Neuro 2....

Objective: Self-help interventions are followed by people independently with minimal or no therapist contact. This review aims to assess the effectiveness of self-help...

ABSTRACT The representational format of speech units in long-term memory is a topic of debate. We present novel event-related brain potential evidence from the Mismatch...

Lower-level and higher-level processes during lexical recognition were investigated using ambiguous pseudo-noun cases related to liaisons in French. In phrases such as un onche...

In connected speech, many words are produced with a pronunciation that differs from the canonical form. How the speech recognition system deals with this variation is a...

Previous cross-modal priming studies showed that lexical decisions to words after a pronoun were facilitated when these words were semantically related to the pronoun's...

Objective: This technical paper describes a biologically inspired hearing aid algorithm based on a computer model of the peripheral auditory system simulating basilar membrane...

Objective: To determine the training, self-reported competence and practice patterns of South African audiologists (SAAs) regarding cerumen management (CM). Design: Prospective...

People born blind habitually experience linguistic utterances in the absence of visual cues. Neuroimaging evidence suggests that congenitally blind individuals also activate...

We present a series of computational simulations of the auditory lexical decision task using the jTRACE and TISK models of spoken word recognition. Simulation 1 replicates high...

Pronouns serve a critical referential function, yet the cognitive processes engaged during pronoun comprehension remain incompletely understood. One view is that encountering a...

Previous studies on agreement violation in sign languages report neurophysiological responses similar to those observed for spoken languages. In contrast, the two current...

Previous studies report that children use color words haphazardly before acquiring conventional, adult-like meanings. The most common explanation for this is that children do...

To identify the approaches taken by audiologists to address their adult clients’ psychosocial needs related to hearing loss. A participatory mixed methods design. Participants...

In a series of experiments we examined factors that contribute to the difficulty of spatial perspective-taking and influence perspective selection. Listeners received...

Objective: In contrast to previous clinical practice, current guidelines recommend bilateral cochlear implantation in children, resulting in a cohort of children who initially...

textabstractWe study to what extent linguistic differences in grammatical aspect systems and verb lexicalisation patterns of Dutch and mandarin Chinese affect how speakers...

Objective: To compare preference for and performance of manually selected programmes to an automatic sound classifier, the Phonak AutoSense OS. Design: A single blind repeated...

Objective: Noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is a worldwide health problem and a growing concern among young people. Although some people appear to be more susceptible to NIHL,...

This study examines the role of the decision stage in the recognition of reduced pronunciation variants, specifically variants produced with nasal flaps (e.g. “counter” produced...
