The guidelines list criteria for determining multimemory candidacy and present recommended response variations around a baseline response to suit different listening environments. This study aimed at validating the clinical application of the guidelines. Forty-four subjects from three Australian Hearing centres evaluated a digital, two-memory, two-channel compression device with remote control in their everyday environments for four months. Data suggested that the original criteria for candidacy were not satisfactory. On average, candidates had a wider dynamic range across the high frequencies, were more often in the situation the alternative program was designed for, and were fitted with a greater low-frequency gain difference between programs. A revised candidacy guideline based on this finding is presented. The recommended response variations were difficult to achieve and data did not suggest any particular changes to the recommended response variations.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125844173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Twenty-six subjects with gradually-to-steeply sloping hearing loss were tested with 500, 1000, 2000 and/or 4000 Hz tone bursts. The total stimulus durations were 3 msec for both gating functions. No statistically significant mean differences were found between ABR thresholds for the linear and Blackman tone bursts at any frequency. Linear regression equations were used to describe the relationship between ABR thresholds in dB nHL and pure tone thresholds in dB HL. Standard errors of estimate of about 11 dB were obtained at 500 and 1000 Hz for both tone bursts. At 2000 and 4000 Hz, standard errors of about 6 dB were observed for both the linear and Blackman tone bursts. These data suggest that 500 and 1000 Hz tone bursts can predict pure tone thresholds within 16 dB in approximately 85% of the cases, and that the 2000 and 4000 Hz tone bursts can predict pure tone thresholds within 9 dB in approximately 85% of the cases.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126108233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, unrecognised and unmanaged hearingimpairment can have a significant detrimental effect on a child's educational, social and psychological progress. In the Hornsby and Kuringgai local government areas in New South Wales (NSW), a longstanding school-entry hearing screening program that aims to identify previously unsuspected hearing problems, is conducted each year. Strict program guidelines are in place, and subject to review. In view of the NHMRC findings, it was decided that an audit of audiology referrals from the Hornsby and Kuringgai local government areas' screening program was timely. Accordingly, records of school-entry hearing screening for the calendar years 2000, 2001 and 2002 were obtained from the School Medical Service team, and all records of audiology assessment identifiable as School Medical Service referrals to audiology for the same years extracted from the Audiology Unit files. The audiology assessments were categorised to be comparable with data previously reported in the literature, and compared with the school-entry screening information. The resulting data have been analysed in order to evaluate the program's effectiveness. While areas requiring improvement emerged, the number of relevant children identified compared with the number referred suggests that the program definitely has value and warrants consideration to repeating elsewhere.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127152531","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study aimed to compare preliminary normative data for SCAN-A for speakers of standard Australian English to those of standard American English. A total of 32 normal hearing adults aged between 18 and 47 years participated in this study. They were given all four subtests of the SCAN-A test. The Kolmogorov- Smirnov two-sample test was used to determine whether there was any significant difference in mean scores for each of the SCAN-A subtests and the test total between the Australian sample and the reported American normative data. The results of the study found a significant difference in mean scores between the Australian sample and the American normative data for the Filtered Words subtest and the Competing Sentences subtest. The Australian sample obtained a lower mean score for the Filtered Words subtest and a higher mean score for the Competing Sentences subtest. No significant difference in mean scores was found for the other subtests and the composite score. Overall, the performance of the SCAN-A in the Australian sample was similar to that of the American population. The results of this preliminary study stress the need for caution when interpreting the results of the Filtered Words subtest and the Competing Sentence subtest for the Australian population.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"369 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131054868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, performance changes on four measures of auditory processing were tracked using a single-subject ABA design. Increases in receptive and expressive language scores were observed. All participants showed at least one area of improvement on standardised tests of auditory discrimination for speech. Of those who produced interpretable results on standardised tests of shortterm auditory memory, 1 participant in 6 improved on Digit Span and 3 in 7 showed variable improvement on Memory for Sentences. Over half of the auditory processing gains remained evident after four weeks. One third of these gains were evident after 12 months. Characteristics of individual participants partially contributed to the identification of patterns of performance in the area of language.

Today we will travel a similar road this one to follow our progress as a developing profession in Australia, which, in partnership with our community, exists to assist our hearing-impaired community members. If we are not to lose our way, it is essential that audiologists maintain a client-centred, evidencebased approach. We must be able to demonstrate to our clients that audiologists truly provide a continuum of care; and that technology, while frequently integral, is only part of the solution - indeed, that technology should be a beginning, not an end, of habilitation/rehabilitation. It is equally incumbent on each and every one of us to take our part in raising and broadening community awareness at all levels of our society with regard to what an appropriately resourced audiology profession can contribute. The more such awareness exists, the less the risk that audiological services will be overlooked and underresourced. Together we will look at where we have come from, where we are now, and where we must head, if audiology in Australia is to gain, and maintain, its rightful place in the continuum of hearing health care.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"348 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120941344","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
