Impaired speech-in-noise perception in individuals with a history of hearing symptoms after noise exposure

Gregory M. Ellis, Douglas S. Brungart

Prior work shows that individuals who frequently experience symptoms following noise exposure have greater hearing complaints and worse tone-in-noise detection abilities even with "normal" audiometric thresholds. This study extends previous work by quantifying the impact of post-exposure hearing symptoms on speech-in-noise (SIN) …

Impaired Tone-in-Noise Detection in Individuals Who Report Temporary Hearing Symptoms After Noise Exposure

Douglas S. Brungart, Gregory M. Ellis, Daniel E. Shub, Alyssa J. Davidson

OBJECTIVES: Current hearing conservation standards assume that changes in the pure-tone audiogram fully capture the effects of noise-induced hearing damage. However, recent data suggest that individuals who frequently experience acute hearing symptoms after noise exposure may suffer long-term increases in hearing difficulty, …

Functional Consequences of Tinnitus in Military Service Members

LaGuinn Sherlock, Gregory M. Ellis, Douglas S. Brungart

PURPOSE: Numerous individuals in the United States are bothered enough by tinnitus that it affects normal daily activities, including sleep and concentration. There is a high prevalence of self-reported bothersome tinnitus in the U.S. military, and therefore, it is important to assess …

Exploring Auditory Processing Abilities and the Impact on Response Time and Hearing Aid Benefit

Alyssa Davidson, Gregory M. Ellis, Varsha H. Rallapalli, Douglas S. Brungart

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the differences between self-reported hearing difficulties, response time, and blast exposure history for those with and without auditory processing deficits, which were classified based on abnormal results on behavioral speech-in-noise and binaural-processing assessments. …

The plausibility hypothesis

Pavel Zahorik, Gregory M. Ellis

The plausibility hypothesis was originally introduced to explain human sound localization behavior in situations with a single sound-reflecting surface capable of producing abnormally large interaural time cues. The hypothesis states that “interaural time cues are weighted by listeners according to their plausibility” …

Current age and language use impact speech-in-noise differently for monolingual and bilingual adults

Rebecca E. Bieber, Ian Phillips, Gregory M. Ellis, Douglas S. Brungart

Purpose: Some bilinguals may exhibit lower performance when understanding speech in noise (SIN) in their second language (L2) compared to monolinguals in their first language. Poorer performance has been found mostly for late bilinguals (L2 acquired after childhood) listening to sentences containing …

Improving the Predictive Strength of Better-Ear Four-Frequency Pure-Tone Average With the Addition of the Tinnitus and Hearing Survey-Hearing Subscale

Gregory M. Ellis, Rebecca E. Bieber, Alyssa Davidson, LaGuinn Sherlock et autres

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this project was to quantify the relative efficacy of a four-frequency pure-tone average in the better ear (PTA4), the Hearing subscale of the Tinnitus and Hearing Survey (THS-H), and a combination of the two in predicting speech-in-noise performance, …

Not-so-normal hearing: Temporary hearing changes lead to chronic difficulties for listeners with ”normal” audiometric thresholds

Douglas S. Brungart, Gregory M. Ellis, Alyssa Davidson, Hector Galloza et autres

Hearing loss has historically been mainly associated with elevated pure-tone thresholds. However, in recent years, there has been increased interest in addressing the hearing difficulties reported by individuals with normal hearing thresholds. In this study, we measured hearing thresholds, noise history, temporary …
