Adapting the EC model to the frequency dependency of binaural masking level differences – Is this relevant for speech in noise?

Acta Acustica
Several binaural speech intelligibility models simulate human binaural processing using the Equalization-Cancellation (EC) mechanism, incorporating processing inaccuracies based on tone-in-noise detection at 500 Hz.

Restoration of cortical symmetry and binaural function: Cortical auditory evoked responses in adult cochlear implant users with single sided deafness.

PLoS ONE, 2020
BACKGROUND:Cochlear implantation for single-sided deafness (SSD) is the only treatment option with the potential to restore binaural hearing cues. Significant binaural benefit has been measured in adults by speech in noise and localisation tests, who ...

The Role of A Surgeon in Restoring the Senses & in Biomedical Engineering

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review is based on my 2025 Jepson Lecture and outlines my personal journey to restore hearing in people with a severe sensorineural hearing loss. My dream started as a 5‐year‐old as I told my kindergarten teacher when I grow up ‘I want to fix ears’ because my father is deaf. The journey resulted in a career in surgery followed by auditory

Noise‐induced reduction and early recovery of superior paraolivary nucleus sound‐offset responses

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Acoustic over‐exposure transiently disrupts auditory temporal processing in mouse superior paraolivary nucleus neurons. In control conditions, neurons exhibit robust sound‐offset (OFF) responses, which are abolished immediately following noise trauma, indicating impaired temporal encoding.

Persistence and generalization of adaptive changes in auditory localization behavior following unilateral conductive hearing loss

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2023
IntroductionSound localization relies on the neural processing of binaural and monaural spatial cues generated by the physical properties of the head and body.

Occupational Hearing Loss in the Intensive Care Unit: A Comparative Study Between ICU and Non‐ICU Nursing Staff

Nursing in Critical Care, Volume 31, Issue 6, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Occupational exposure to sustained high‐noise levels in intensive care units (ICUs) could pose significant auditory health risks for healthcare professionals. Aim This investigation evaluates the prevalence and characteristics of hearing impairment among nursing staff working in an intensive care unit (ICU) versus non‐ICU ...

Binaural hearing and future hearing-aids technology

, 1994
Normal-hearing persons can make use of two ears in daily listening, and this binaural hearing offers a lot of advantages compared to monaural hearing. The mechanisms of binaural hearing are based on an analysis of interaural differences and monaural cues

Levodopa and Subthalamic Nucleus Deep Brain Stimulation Modulate Excitation/Inhibition Balance and the Neural Encoding of Isochronous Sequences in Persons With Parkinson's Disease

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1565, Issue 1, November 2026.
In this study, we show that levodopa and deep brain stimulation (DBS) interventions differently modulate excitation/inhibition balance at the brain level and how individuals with Parkinson's disease process temporally regular auditory sequences, as typically provided in rhythmic auditory cueing protocols.

Low-Intensity Steady Background Noise Enhances Pitch Fusion Across the Ears in Normal-Hearing Listeners

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
Binaural pitch fusion is the perceptual integration of stimuli that evoke different pitches between the ears into a single auditory image. This study was designed to investigate how steady background noise can influence binaural pitch fusion.
