Effects of Unilateral Audio-Vestibular Insufficiency on Spatial Hearing
This study aimed to compare spatial hearing performance between adult individuals with the unilateral sensorineural hearing loss and unilateral loss...
-
Training spatial hearing in unilateral cochlear implant users through reaching to sounds in virtual reality
Background and PurposeUse of unilateral cochlear implant (UCI) is associated with limited spatial hearing skills. Evidence that training these...

Speech perception outcomes in hearing-impaired individuals with microphone & receiver in the ear (M&RIE) hearing aids
PurposeThe Microphone and Receiver in the ear (M&RIE) hearing aid is designed to consider the pinna cues by placing an additional microphone along...
-
Listening effort in patients with sensorineural hearing loss with and without hearing aids
BackgroundPersons with hearing loss may have difficulty in speech understanding, so they need to shift more resources from other on-going cognitive...

At-home computerized executive-function training to improve cognition and mobility in normal-hearing adults and older hearing aid users: a multi-centre, single-blinded randomized controlled trial
BackgroundHearing loss predicts cognitive decline and falls risk. It has been argued that degraded hearing makes listening effortful, causing...
-
Interpersonal distance preferences: an unexplored consequence of hearing loss
BackgroundInterpersonal distance (IPD), which reflects the physical space between people, ensures the regulation of social behavior in interaction as...

Dynamic Spatial Auditory Processing in the Elderly
PurposeOne of the most obvious functional effects of aging on the cognitive and processing processes of spatial hearing is the localization problem...
-
Listening to speech-in-noise with hearing aids: Do the self-reported outcomes reflect the behavioral speech perception task performance?
BackgroundThe aim of this study is to examine the relationship between behavioral speech-in-noise listening tasks and self-reported speech-in-noise...
