Evaluating the efficacy of monaural vs. binaural FM fittings in children with auditory processing disorders

The purpose of this project was to determine whether a monaural FM or binaural FM fitting strategy is more appropriate for children with Auditory Processing Disorders.

Effect of auditory processing on the preference of monaural amplification for adults with symmetrical hearing loss

The purpose of this project was to determine if subjects with symmetrical hearing loss who prefer a monaural hearing aid fit to a binaural hearing aid fit may demonstrate an auditory processing disorder causing them to experience binaural interference when fit binaurally.

Are distortion levels a problem with digital signal processing hearing aids and frequency modulation (FM) systems?

The purpose of this study was to examine objective and subjective distortion present when frequency modulation (FM) systems were coupled with four digital signal processing (DSP) hearing aids. Electroacoustic analysis and subjective listening tests by experienced audiologists revealed that distortion levels varied across hearing aids and channels.

The reassessment of central auditory processing disorders in children 7 to 12 years of age

This paper provides a review of central auditory processing disorders in children.

Central auditory processing: a current literature review and summary of interviews with researchers on controversial issues related to auditory processing disorders

This paper discusses issues related to Auditory Processing Disorders (ADP) evaluation and management, focusing mainly on the disorder in children.

Phonological processing in the reading of deaf and normally hearing children

This paper reviews measurement of phonological processes in reading among deaf children and children who are of normal hearing.

Compensatory signal processing for profoundly hearing-impaired listeners: the transmission of fundamental frequency

This paper reviews a study to determine the usefulness of signal processing along with lipreading in improving speech perception of profoundly hearing impaired persons.
