Measurement of insertion loss and gain in variable hear-through and noise cancellation modes of true wireless earbuds Open
This paper presents the results of objective tests to assess the insertion loss and gain performance of three true wireless earbuds that featured both active noise cancellation (ANC) and hear-through functionality. An acoustic test fixture…

Sustaining attention in affective contexts during adolescence: age-related differences and association with elevated symptoms of depression and anxiety Open
Sustained attention, a key cognitive skill that improves during childhood and adolescence, tends to be worse in some emotional and behavioural disorders. Sustained attention is typically studied in non-affective task contexts; here, we use…

A randomised controlled trial investigating an intervention to boost psychological decentering in response to distressing mental experiences during adolescence: the Decentering in Adolescence Study (DECADES) Open
Adolescence is a developmental stage in which vulnerability to mental health difficulties increases. One promising strategy to reduce risk of difficulties developing could be to specifically target a key, pan-therapeutic skill broadly rele…

How Will You Pod? Implications of Creators’ Perspectives for Designing Innovative Podcasting Tools Open
While centred on the medium of audio, podcasts are often a multimedia concern, and one that has become hugely popular in recent years, though relatively little is known about the perspectives of podcast creators and their visions of innova…

The relationship between environmental context and attentional engagement in podcast listening experiences Open
Introduction Previous research has shown that podcasts are most frequently consumed using mobile listening devices across a wide variety of environmental, situational, and social contexts. To date, no studies have investigated how an indiv…

An online implementation of a measure of spectro-temporal processing by cochlear-implant listeners Open
The spectro-temporal ripple for investigating processor effectiveness (STRIPES) test is a psychophysical measure of spectro-temporal resolution in cochlear-implant (CI) listeners. It has been validated using direct-line input and loudspeak…

Protocol for a randomised controlled trial investigating an intervention to boost decentering in response to distressing mental experiences during adolescence: the decentering in adolescence study (DECADES) Open
Introduction Decentering describes the ability to voluntarily adopt an objective self-perspective from which to notice internal, typically distressing, stressors (eg, difficult thoughts, memories and feelings). The reinforcement of this sk…

Further simulations of the effect of cochlear-implant pre-processing and head movement on interaural level differences Open
We simulated the effect of several automatic gain control (AGC) and AGC-like systems and head movement on the output levels, and resulting interaural level differences (ILDs) produced by bilateral cochlear-implant (CI) processors. The simu…

The effect of increased channel interaction on speech perception with cochlear implants Open
Cochlear implants (CIs) are neuroprostheses that partially restore hearing for people with severe-to-profound hearing loss. While CIs can provide good speech perception in quiet listening situations for many, they fail to do so in environm…

The Effect of Free-Field Presentation and Processing Strategy on a Measure of Spectro-Temporal Processing by Cochlear-Implant Listeners Open
The STRIPES (Spectro-Temporal Ripple for Investigating Processor EffectivenesS) test is a psychophysical test of spectro-temporal resolution developed for cochlear-implant (CI) listeners. Previously, the test has been strictly controlled t…

A Site-Selection Strategy Based on Polarity Sensitivity for Cochlear Implants: Effects on Spectro-Temporal Resolution and Speech Perception Open
Thresholds of asymmetric pulses presented to cochlear implant (CI) listeners depend on polarity in a way that differs across subjects and electrodes. It has been suggested that lower thresholds for cathodic-dominant compared to anodic-domi…
