Hasan Çolak; Berfin Eylül Aydemir; Merve Deniz Sakarya; Eda Çakmak; Asuman Alniaçik; Meral Didem Türkyilmaz – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The significance of extended high-frequency (EHF) hearing (> 8 kHz) is not well understood so far. In this study, we aimed to understand the relationship between EHF hearing loss (EHFHL) and speech perception in noise (SPIN) and the associated physiological signatures using the speech-evoked frequency-following response (sFFR). Method:…

Mariana Mejia Turnbull; Brett A. Martin; Michelle MacRoy-Higgins – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2024
The purpose of this study was to investigate which of the available Spanish sentence tests U.S. audiologists currently utilize to evaluate Spanish-speaking cochlear implant candidates. An online questionnaire was created and distributed nationwide. A total of 25 audiologists reported using the Spanish HINT and Spanish AzBio. Limitations regarding…

Alyssa Davidson; Pamela Souza – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The contributions from the central auditory and cognitive systems play a major role in communication. Understanding the relationship between auditory and cognitive abilities has implications for auditory rehabilitation for clinical patients. The purpose of this systematic review is to address the question, "In adults, what is the…

Mariana Mejia Turnbull; Michelle MacRoy-Higgings; Brett A. Martin – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2024
The purpose of this study was to analyze and compare the linguistic content of the Spanish HINT and the Spanish AzBio sentence tests. The results revealed that the Spanish AzBio is linguistically more complex as compared with the Spanish HINT in terms of sentence length, complexity, and grammatical structure.

McShea, Lynzee; Giles, Karen; Murphy, Ashley; Ling, Jonathan – British Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
Background: Annual health checks in primary care include hearing assessment, though current guidance recommends subjective assessment only. Previous studies suggest this is inadequate and recommend objective alternatives such as hearing screening. This study aimed to assess the feasibility of hearing screening and examine the last recorded annual…

Tao, Karina F. M.; Brennan-Jones, Christopher G.; Capobianco-Fava, Dirce M.; Jayakody, Dona M. P.; Friedland, Peter L.; Swanepoel, De Wet; Eikelboom, Robert H. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: This review examined (a) the current evidence from studies on teleaudiology applications for rehabilitation of adults with hearing impairment with hearing aids and (b) whether it is sufficient to support the translation into routine clinical practice. Method: A search strategy and eligibility criteria were utilized to include articles…

Aronoff, Justin M.; Duitsman, Leah; Matusik, Deanna K.; Hussain, Senad; Lippmann, Elise – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Audiology clinics have a need for a nonlinguistic test for assessing speech scores for patients using hearing aids or cochlear implants. One such test, the Spectral-Temporally Modulated Ripple Test Lite for computeRless Measurement (SLRM), has been developed for use in clinics, but it, as well as the related Spectral-Temporally Modulated…

Picciotti, Pasqualina M.; Carfì, Angelo; Anzivino, Roberta; Paludetti, Gaetano; Conti, Guido; Brandi, Vincenzo; Bernabei, Roberto; Onder, Graziano – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2017
Increased life expectancy in persons with Down syndrome (DS) is associated with premature age-related changes. The aim of this study was to assess auditory function in adults with DS and to evaluate the prevalence of hearing loss in this population. Audiometric tests were performed in 72 adults with DS (mean age 37.3 ± 10.1 years, 51.4% females).…

Brendal, Megan A.; King, Kelly A.; Zalewski, Christopher K.; Finucane, Brenda M.; Introne, Wendy; Brewer, Carmen C.; Smith, Ann C. M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the auditory phenotype of a large cohort with Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS), a rare disorder including physical anomalies, cognitive deficits, sleep disturbances, and a distinct behavioral phenotype. Method: Hearing-related data were collected for 133 individuals with SMS aged 1-49 years. Audiogram…
