Anybody here going to Forum Acusticum #FA2023 in Torino next week? My team will be there in force with 3 oral presentations:

• 12 September (11:40 - 12:00): Alejandro Osses “Using auditory models to mimic human listeners in reverse correlation experiments from the fastACI toolbox” (https://hal.science/hal-04186363/document)
• 13 September (17:20 - 17:40): Laurianne Cabrera “Development of Auditory Sensitivity to Amplitude Modulation Cues: Sensory and Cognitive Determinants and Relationship With Speech Intelligibility”
• 14 September (11:00 - 11:20): Géraldine Carranante “Auditory Reverse Correlation applied to the study of place and voicing: four new phoneme-discrimination tasks” (https://hal.science/hal-04130939v1/document)

A few days ago I mentioned the saga of Mrs Mike trying to get an #NHS hearing test, and getting the runaround from our #GP surgery.

We put in an 'admin request' for advice (a veiled complaint).

She was given a same day appointment for a GP today and now has an appointment with the local #Audiology service.

It shouldn't be this difficult.

Similarly to Robert Howard, I'm sceptical that this can be causative, but I know that hearing loss negatively impacts memory loss - how can you remember what you don't hear? And I guess years of hearing loss leads to loss of cognitive stimulation, which would also exacerbate memory loss.
So, it is good to encourage their use.

Audiology tests today show severe hearing loss in my right ear, and moderate loss in my left ear. Right hearing is permanently damaged, but left may improve a bit.

Not really what I wanted to find out, but a helluva lot better than not knowing what's going on! I can feel my body beginning to relax just a bit.

As mentioned in earlier posts, I come from a hard of hearing family so I've been expecting this - just not overnight.

so I'm getting #HearingAids in 2 weeks (ordered them & they'll arrive). color: "dark champagne."

since #Covid last august, my ears are full, 24/7, of "the hissing of summer lawns." it really feels like a "phantom sound" phenom, in the setting of bilateral hearing loss (per #audiology).

i made a spotify mix called Hissy Fit that is all sorts of hissing, from rain on the roof of a vw camper to old radio static, water stream, campfire, etc.

Excited to share that I am now the Chief of Audiology at @UCSF_OHNS ! Looking forward to collaborating with this talented team, conducting clinical research and enhancing patient care in audiology. #hearingloss #tinnitus #audiology #hearingaids #clinicalresearch #patientoutcomes https://twitter.com/UCSF_OHNS/status/1628151096102223873

Puisque j'ai maintenant migré essentiellement sur mastodon, il est temps de déménager mes affaires ici ! Voici un fil où je listerai les billets publiés sur mon blog dbao.leo-varnet.fr/ (essentiellement de la vulgarisation scientifique sur la #psycholinguistique #psycholinguistics, les #stats #statistiques, l'#audiology #audiologie, et parfois les #SciencesCognitives #CognitiveScience en général) ⬇️

Wow, prior art from 1973! It is someone's PhD dissertation. I don't know if I was previously aware of a P. W. Stevenson. I cannot figure out what names those initials stand for.

Hello #Auditory #Science folks, do you know who this is?

Stevenson, P. W. (1973). Reaction time measurements in speech discrimination tasks—An automated system with closed response sets. Journal of Phonetics, 1(4), 347-367.

Working on a presentation for next week.

Gonna discuss hearing aid delivery models as if they were fashion

Haute couture : Custom-made hearing aids, personalized consultations and fittings. Expensive, limited supply of audiologists

Ready to wear / Off the rack: Non custom hearing aids fit by an audiologist/dispenser OR Over-the-counter hearing aids made by trustworthy fashion houses, oops, I mean manufacturers. Moderate expense option with wider availability...

As someone who suffers from tinnitus as a result of a long ago surgery, it is not a trivial affliction. There is help available and this is discussed in the article.

Do you monitor your home or workplace #CO2 levels? Perhaps with an #Aranet4? I am in the preliminary stages of a project on #Audiology and C02 and want to connect!

How did gender, age, and first language interact with take-up of #telehealth #audiology services following #COVID19 at #HearingAustralia? Not much!

This is potentially awesome, life-changing news for anyone afflicted with #NerveDeafness ... It may have come along too late in life to help me, since it's still in the preliminary-research phase. But this made me very happy to read about! [Tip o'the hat to @researchbuzz for the news!]
