Assessing the Effect of Middle Ear Effusions on Wideband... : Ear and Hearing fects of MEE type and amount on WAI in vivo has been challenging due to the anatomical location of middle ear cavity. The purpose of this study is to correlate WAI measurements with physical characteristics of the middle ear and MEEs determined by optical coherence tomography (OCT), a noninvasive op...

Our latest published ahead of print article by Sommers, Spehar, Tye-Murray, Myerson & Hale confirms a generalized age-related decline in the ability to understand speech. Check it out to learn how unimodal performance predicts understanding in environments allowing multiple inputs (i.e. auditory and visual).

Age Differences in the Effects of Speaking Rate on... : Ear and Hearing performance across a range of speaking rates. The authors hypothesized significant Age × Rate interactions in all three modalities and that unimodal performance would account for a majority of the variance in auditory-visual speech perception for speaking rates that are both slower and faster than ...
