Social Predictors of Hearing Aid Purchase: Do Stigma, Social Network Composition, Social Support, and Loneliness Matter? Open
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the extent to which four different social factors (stigma, social network composition, social support, and loneliness) predict the purchase of hearing aids in a sample of older adults w…

Comparing verbal working memory load in auditory and visual modalities using functional near-infrared spectroscopy Open
The verbal identity n-back task is commonly used to assess verbal working memory (VWM) capacity. Only three studies have compared brain activation during the n-back when using auditory and visual stimuli. The earliest study, a positron emi…

Age-Related Difference in Melodic Pitch Perception Is Probably Mediated by Temporal Processing: Empirical and Computational Evidence Open
Objective: This study was designed to examine whether age-related differences in melodic pitch perception may be mediated by temporal processing. Temporal models of pitch suggest that performance will decline as the lowest component of a c…

Reduced Semantic Context and Signal-to-Noise Ratio Increase Listening Effort As Measured Using Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Open
Objectives: Understanding speech-in-noise can be highly effortful. Decreasing the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of speech increases listening effort, but it is relatively unclear if decreasing the level of semantic context does as well. The …

Hearing, Emotion, Amplification, Research, and Training Workshop: Current Understanding of Hearing Loss and Emotion Perception and Priorities for Future Research Open
The question of how hearing loss and hearing rehabilitation affect patients' momentary emotional experiences is one that has received little attention but has considerable potential to affect patients' psychosocial function. This article i…

Acoustic Analysis of Emotional Speech Processed by Hearing Aids Open
A talker’s emotional state is one important type of information carried by the speech signal. Past studies have shown that listeners with hearing loss have difficulties identifying vocal emotion. However, there is little research on how mu…

Perception of Emotional Speech by Listeners With Hearing Aids Open
A talker’s emotional state is one important type of information carried by the speech signal. While the frequency and amplitude compression performed by hearing aids may make speech easier to understand, little is known about how such proc…

Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy as a Measure of Listening Effort in Older Adults Who Use Hearing Aids Open
Listening effort may be reduced when hearing aids improve access to the acoustic signal. However, this possibility is difficult to evaluate because many neuroimaging methods used to measure listening effort are incompatible with hearing ai…

Speech Communication by Younger and Older Adults: The Effects of Age-Related Vocal Changes, Environmental Noise and Simulated Listener Demands Open
Age-related changes in both speech and hearing can affect communication. While it is well-known that age-related declines in hearing affect speech understanding, especially in difficult situations such as noisy environments, few studies ha…

Intelligibility of older talkers on the NU6 test Open
The stimuli used in laboratory studies on speech perception tend to be produced by younger talkers in ideal conditions. However, talker characteristics are much more variable in the real world, and include changes in speech due to normal a…
