Objectives: For decades, monosyllabic word-recognition in quiet (WRQ) has been the
default test of speech recognition in routine audiologic assessment. The continued use of …

Objective To assess non-medical amplification devices in adults with mild-to-moderate
hearing loss, and the impact of device features on outcomes. Design A prospectively …

Objectives: Over the past decade, US Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs
audiologists have reported large numbers of relatively young adult patients who have …

Objectives: Measures of speech-in-noise, such as the QuickSIN, are increasingly common
tests of speech perception in audiologic practice. However, the effect of vestibular …

Patients with age-related hearing loss face hearing difficulties in daily life. The causes of age-
related hearing loss are complex and include changes in peripheral hearing, central …

Speech-in-noise comprehension difficulties are common among the elderly population, yet
traditional objective measures of speech perception are largely insensitive to this deficit …

Basic research investigating auditory development often has implications for clinical
diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss in children, but it can be challenging to translate …

Background: Speech-in-speech recognition scores tend to be more variable than the speech-
in-noise recognition scores, both within and across listeners. This variability could be due to …

Predicting masked speech perception typically relies on estimates of the spectral distribution
of cues supporting recognition. Current methods for estimating band importance for speech …

Purpose Difficulties in speech-in-noise understanding are often reported in individuals with
tinnitus. Building on our previous findings that speech-in-noise performance is correlated …
