We developed and validated of an easy, language-agnostic speech test using audiovisual VCV stimuli and AI-driven thresholding, demonstrating its potential for equitable, efficient, and personalized hearing assessment across diverse populations.
This study evaluated the importance and effectiveness of using digital technology and reusable materials to provide teleguidance and telemonitoring to new and experienced hearing aid users and its impact on the performance and daily use of hearing aids. The individuals were followed for a period of eight to 12 months. The users' performance was monitored using the Speech Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale questionnaire.
Vocal emotion recognition in children with hearing aids and children with cochlear implants improves across childhood and adolescence, albeit at a seemingly slower pace compared to children with normal hearing.
The Open Hearing platform is an open-source hardware and software platform for advanced hearing research designed to enhance reproducibility while increasing access to high quality research tools for the assessment of auditory function.
A web-based test system has been developed and validated to facilitate data collection and collaboration for cochlear implant research.
We describe the development and validation of a language-independent ‘Image-based questionnaire’ (IBQ) for assessing hearing in which written descriptions of listening situations are replaced with images (photographs).
We co-designed a tablet-based hearing screening tool with individuals living with dementia using the PERsona-CEntred Participatory Technology (PERCEPT) approach, which effectively engaged individuals with dementia in its design and demonstrated the practical benefits of using personas in creating accessible audiological solutions.
This presentation will explore the between and within music genre variability on acoustical descriptors and its application to hearing aid evaluation.
This project investigates music pre-processing and mixing strategies used by audio engineers in the collaborative creation of bespoke music mixes for individual cochlear implant users.
This longitudinal study demonstrated the effectiveness of mobile health-enabled audiometry for monitoring ototoxicity in chemotherapy patients, revealing significant threshold shifts predominantly in high frequencies and indicating the potential for improved surveillance within treatment venues.
