SUMMARY:AHH seminar: A neurophysiological based coding strategy for cochlear implants ...
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Waikong Lai\nDate: Thursday 8 February\nTime: 10.00am – 11.30am\nLocation: Australian Hearing Hub\, Level 1\, Lecture Theatre  \nAgenda:\n10.00am – 10.05am – Welcome\n10.05am – 10.45am – Presentation\n10.45am – 11.00am – Q & A\n11.00am – 11.30am – Networking & Refreshments \nAbstract:\nThe reduced channel capacity of a cochlear implant necessitates that sound information be efficiently encoded for maximum transmission.  With one of the bottlenecks being the capacity of the neural coding\, a novel coding strategy based on a model of the excitability state of the target neural population was developed.  The algorithm estimates the refractory behavior of the stimulated neural populations to compute the excitability state after the presentation of each stimulus\, and uses this excitability state in the selection of the next stimulus.  The Excitability Controlled Coding (ECC) strategy’s algorithm was implemented as a Matlab Simulink xPC model\, and executed in real-time on a Speedgoat (hardware) system with analog (microphone) input.  The output is configured for real-time streaming to Nucleus implants using a Cochlear StimGen RF encoder hardware.  ECC was then compared against an ACE implementation on the same hardware system using a spectral ripple test as well as adaptive sentences (OLSA) in noise.  Assessments were made by 4 experienced adult CI listeners.  Initial testing comparing ACE vs ECC shows marginal improvements with ECC for the spectral ripple test as well as for OLSA sentences in noise.  However\, these may not be the optimal tests for determining the advantages of ECC and further considerations are needed.  ECC is a coding strategy for cochlear implants that attempts to account for the capacity of the neural interface in transmitting encoded information.  Initial results are promising\, showing marginal improvements over the current ACE strategy even without much optimization and training. \nBio:\nWaikong Lai\, PhD\, is a senior research scientist at the Sydney Cochlear Implant Centre (SCIC) which is part of the Royal Institute for Deaf and Blind Children (RIDBC).  Dr Lai’s extensive experience stems from his previous roles in research and engineering at the CSIRO department of Applied Physics (B.Elec.Eng.)\, Monash University (M.Eng.Sci.)\, University of Melbourne (Ph.D) and Zurich University Hospital (Postdoc Research Fellow).  Some of these include the development of the NRT Nucleus Response Telemetry system and software now used routinely on a clinical basis for cochlear implant fitting and management\, research and development of novel bio-inspired signal coding strategies\, as well as development and management of the Swiss Cochlear Implant database. \nWho should come:  hearing\, speech and language researchers and clinicians\, cognitive scientists\, psychologists\, researchers in aging health and health care professionals.\nNetwork: Learn from one another and see what collaboration opportunities are available.\nRegistration:  Entry is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:AHH seminar: Innovation in Audiology and Hearing Aid Technology
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr Brent Edwards\nDate: Thursday 5 April\nTime: 10.00am – 11.30am\nLocation: Australian Hearing Hub\, Level 1\, Lecture Theatre  \nAgenda:\n10.00am – 10.05am – Welcome\n10.05am – 10.45am – Presentation\n10.45am – 11.00am – Q & A\n11.00am – 11.30am – Networking & Refreshments \n  \nAbstract:\nHearing technology and their distribution methods are changing faster than at anytime in the history of amplification. Hearing aids are converging with consumer electronics with their integration of made-for-iPhone technology\, while “hearables” are taking on features normally only found in hearing aids. Novel fitting methods are being developed that enhance the capabilities of hearing healthcare professionals\, while other hearing devices and fitting methods are being developed to try to eliminate the professional from the distribution channel. Diagnostics and outcome measures are being developed that redefine patient needs and help better understand the benefit that new technology provides hearing aid wearers. Each of these technological and scientific advances has implications for people with hearing impairment and for those who treat them. This talk will provide a perspective on how all of these developments will shape the future of hearing technology\, hearing healthcare professionals\, and the lives of people with hearing impairment. \nBio:\nBrent Edwards\, Ph.D.\, is the Director of the National Acoustic Laboratories in Sydney\, Australia. For over 22 years he has lead research and development teams at major hearing aid companies and Silicon Valley startups that have developed innovative signal processing algorithms\, fitting procedures\, diagnostics and outcome measures\, wireless technologies\, transducers and other technologies that have benefitted hearing aid wearers and dispensers worldwide. Dr. Edwards founded and developed the Starkey Hearing Research Center that is currently a leading site for research in hearing impairment and cognition. He has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and is a frequent invited speaker at international scientific conferences. Dr. Edwards is a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America\, a Fellow of the International Collegium of Rehabilitative Audiology\, and Honorary Associate Professor at the University of Nottingham’s School of Medicine. Dr Edwards received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University\, his M.S. and Ph.D. in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of Michigan and was a Postdoctoral Fellow in psychology at the University of Minnesota. \nWho should come:  hearing\, speech and language researchers and clinicians\, cognitive scientists\, psychologists\, researchers in aging health and health care professionals.\nNetwork: Learn from one another and see what collaboration opportunities are available.\nRegistration:  Entry is free and open to the public. Please register by Monday 2 April 2018 to louise.dodd@mq.edu.au

A retrospective analysis of two consecutive cohorts (2008-2011 and 2011-2015) was conducted. The first cohort was prior to the introduction of cortical measurements and the second cohort underwent the cortical measurement protocol as part of their audiological management. This showed that the introduction of HearLab resulted in an earlier average hearing aid fitting age for babies with mild-moderate losses. When reviewing the reasons it showed that the use of unaided and aided cortical measurements for speech sounds helped parents to have a better understanding of the speech detection abilities of their children and also it gave audiologists greater confidence for prescribing hearing aids.\nThe second study examined development of cortical responses to sound following cochlear implant activation\, using the electrically evoked auditory change complex (eACC). A significant relationship was found between the emergence of the eACC to changes in electrode stimulation\, behavioural electrode discrimination and speech understanding. Such a measure could be helpful in informing clinical fitting and training interventions\, particularly important for adults with early onset of deafness and late implantation.\nThe final study developed and assessed a spatial speech in noise measure for evaluating ‘real-world’ hearing with bilateral cochlear implants using a more challenging assessment than currently used clinically. The ‘spatial speech test’ was developed to simultaneously assess speech perception and the perception of relative location of a target sound in the presence of noise. We have shown with our latest implementation that bilateral cochlear implant users were able to perform above chance in both speech perception and relative localization judgements in the presence of noise\, although they did not demonstrate spatial release from masking they demonstrated benefit from the second side implant for relative localization judgements. \nBiography:\nDebi Vickers is an Associate Professor of Speech and Hearing Sciences at University College London (UCL). Her doctoral work looked at optimizing the delivery of fricatives in hearing aids for profoundly deaf adults and her post-doctoral research was in psychophysics\, speech perception and dead regions\, based in the Hearing Laboratory at the University of Cambridge. The majority of her research over the past decade at UCL has looked at optimizing outcomes for cochlear implant users\, more recently focusing on electrode selection\, plasticity\, training and bilateral implants. Debi is a sub-theme (‘Transforming Hearing Devices’) lead for the UCL Biomedical Research Centre in Deafness. \nCurrent projects in her research group look at ‘brain changes following implantation’\, ‘maximising binaural processing’\, ‘optimising cochlear implant fitting parameters’\, ‘music training to improve listening skills’\, ‘the development of real-life listening assessments’\, ‘candidacy criteria for cochlear implants’\, ‘maximizing outcomes for babies and infants with hearing impairment’ and ‘the impact of classroom acoustics on speech understanding’. \n  \nTemporal pitch perception by cochlear implant users – John Deeks\nAbstract:\nCochlear implant (CI) users can derive a musical pitch from the temporal pattern of pulses delivered to one or more electrodes. However\, this temporal pitch perception deteriorates with increasing pulse rate\, and most listeners cannot detect increases in pulse rate beyond about 300 pps. This upper limit differs markedly between CI users\, and between different electrodes within the same user\, suggesting a peripheral origin to the limit. But\, the upper limit is immune to several manipulations that we expect to substantially alter the pattern of neural firing on auditory nerve (AN) fibres. Three studies are described\, aimed at further understanding the neural basis of temporal pitch processing in CI users. In the first\, we measured rate discrimination and AN activity (using the electrically evoked compound action potential (ECAP)) in the same subjects and with the same stimuli. Results show that important aspects of temporal pitch perception cannot be explained in terms of the AN response\, at least as measured by ECAPs. In the second\, we investigated whether the upper limit increased in CI users following activation of their implant. We tested CI users on the day of activation (“switch on”) and at two and six months later. The upper limit increased significantly between but not within sessions. Performance on a low-rate discrimination task improved significantly between sessions\, but the effect size was significantly less than for the upper limit. Findings are consistent with an effect of neural plasticity on temporal coding at high rates. Lastly\, we report results of a double-blind placebo-controlled trial of a drug\, AUT0063\, on three temporal processing tasks in CI users. Kv3.1 is a fast acting potassium channel important for returning the cell membrane to a resting state\, allowing the neuron to fire in a sustained and temporally accurate manner in response to high-rate pulse trains. Kv3.1a channels are susceptible to auditory deprivation\, the effects of which can be partially reversed in animal models using AUT0063. Despite good test-re-test reliability (correlations of at least 0.89)\, no effect of the drug was found. \nBiography:\nJohn Deeks\, PhD is a Senior Research Scientist at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit\, University of Cambridge. His research focuses on hearing mechanisms in both normal-hearing listeners and people fit with a cochlear implant. In Cambridge\, he is part of the Speech and Hearing Group\, headed by Bob Carlyon. He obtained a BSc in Experimental Psychology from the University of Sussex\, an MSc in Audiology from the University of Southampton\, and PhD – concerned with pitch and timbre perception by profoundly hearing impaired listeners – from the Department of Phonetics and Linguistics\, UCL. \n

SUMMARY:Creating a Sense of Auditory Space: ARC Laureate Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Date: Monday 23 October and Tuesday 24 October 2017 \nLocation: Level 1 Lecture Theatre\, Australian Hearing Hub\, Macquarie University \nPlease register by 18 October 2017 to Rosemary.Eliott@mq.edu.au  \nBinaural hearing\, particularly the ability to detect small differences in the timing of sounds at the two ears (interaural time differences\, ITDs) underpins the ability to localize sound sources\, and is important for decoding complex spatial listening environments into separate objects – a critical factor in “cocktail-party listening”. The relevance of binaural hearing to communication in every-day listening situations is increasingly recognized in therapeutic interventions; for example\, children born deaf now receive bilateral cochlear implants. \nDespite its importance in key listening tasks\, however\, brain mechanisms responsible for spatial listening remain poorly understood (certainly compared with visual spatial processing)\, and the potential benefits of binaural hearing for users of hearing aids and cochlear implants slow to be realized. Establishing how binaural hearing is generated in the auditory brain is a key goal of scientists\, engineers and clinicians encompassing disciplines as diverse as acoustics and cognitive science. \nThis two-day workshop brings together global leaders in the field of binaural and spatial hearing—spanning expertise in human spatial listening\, brain-imaging techniques for assessing binaural performance\, animal physiology & neural modelling\, and therapeutic interventions such as bilateral cochlear implantation—to discuss the state-of-the-art and the way forward if we are to understand how the brain generates a sense of auditory space\, and how that spatial processing might be restored in individuals with hearing problems. \nProgram – Day 1 – Monday 23 October 2017 \n\n\n\n0915-0930\nRegistration \n\n\n0930-0945\nDavid McAlpine\, Macquarie University\nWelcome\, Introduction\, Overview \n\n\n0945-1015\nMathias Dietz\, The University of Western Ontario\nMissing MSO hypothesis in case of electric stimulation\n\n\n1015-1035\nJaime Undurraga Lucero\, Macquarie University\nNeural representation of interaural time differences in the human brain\n\n\n1035-1055\nJorg Buchholz\, Macquarie University\, National Acoustic Laboratories\nMore realistic assessment of spatial benefits provided by bilateral cochlear implants\n\n\n1055-1120\nMorning Tea/Coffee\n\n\n1120-1150\nDaniel Tollin\, University of Colorado\nThe binaural interaction component (BIC) of the auditory brainstem response (ABR) – an electrophysiological biomarker of binaural and spatial hearing \n\n\n1150-1220\nDavid McAlpine\, Macquarie University\nCortical representation of interaural time differences\n\n\n1220-1240\nJoaquin Valderrama\, Macquarie University\, National Acoustic Laboratories\nAuditory brainstem responses from apical portions of the cochlea evoked by a basilar membrane resonance induced by fast stimulus rates\n\n\n1240-1345\nLunch – Level 3 Terrace\n\n\n1345-1415\nMEG Laboratories Tour for invited speakers\n\n\n1415-1500\nCochlear Limited Tour for invited speakers\n\n\n1500-1530\nMichael Pecka\, Ludwig-Maximilian University of Munich\nMechanisms of precise input timing in circuits for auditory spatial processing\n\n\n1530-1600\nNace Golding\, The University of Texas at Austin\nA duplex code within the medial superior olive\n\n\n1600-1630\nAfternoon Tea/Coffee\n\n\n1630-1650\nNicholas Haywood\, Macquarie University\nSounds with rapidly changing interaural timing cues: perceived lateralization of  binaural beat and noise stimuli\n\n\n1650-1720\nConstantine Trahiotis\, University of Connecticut Health Centre\nEmpirical data and quantitative theoretical analyses revealing essential elements of binaural processing: Experiments employing normal-hearing listeners and listeners with slight hearing loss\n\n\n1720-1730\nConcluding Remarks – David McAlpine\n\n\n\nProgram – Day 2 – Tuesday  24 October 2017 \n\n\n\n0925-0930\nWelcome – David McAlpine\n\n\n0930-1000\nRichard Stern\, Carnegie Mellon University\nPredicting subjective lateral position\, interaural discrimination\, and binaural detection using the position-variable model\n\n\n1000-1030\nChristopher Stecker\, Vanderbilt University\nAssessing cortical representations of auditory space from fMRI sensitivity to binaural cues\n\n\n1030-1100\nVictor Benichoux\, Institut Pasteur\nA model of the binaural interaction component of the auditory brainstem response\n\n\n1100-1130\nMorning Tea/Coffee \n\n\n1130-1150\nLindsey Van Yper\, Macquarie University\nObjective measures of binaural hearing in bilateral cochlear implant users\n\n\n1150-1220\nAstrid van Wieringen\, KU Leuven\nThe development of language and cognitive abilities in infants with single sided deafness and a cochlear implant\n\n\n1220-1250\nTorsten Marquardt\, University College London\nPerceptual weighting of conflicting interaural timing difference cues in stimulus envelope and fine structure\n\n\n1250-1430\nLunch – Level 3 Terrace\n\n\n1430-1500\nNicholas Lesica\, University College London\nThe neural basis of spatial unmasking of multiple talkers\n\n\n1500-1530\nAdrian KC Lee\, University of Washington\nBehavioral and neurophysiological evidence regarding the influence of oculomotor circuitry on auditory spatial tasks\n\n\n1530-1600\nAfternoon Tea/Coffee \n\n\n1600-1620\nHeivet Hernandez-Perez\, Macquarie University\nEffects of speech intelligibility on the auditory efferent activity\n\n\n1620-1650\nSteven Colburn\, Boston University\nHuman processing of target speech signals in multiple-source environments\n\n\n1650-1700\nClosing Remarks – David McAlpine

DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Stephen Lomber\nDate: Monday 11 December\nTime: 10.00am – 11.30am\nLocation: Australian Hearing Hub\, Level 1\, Lecture Theatre  \nAgenda:\n10.00am – 10.05am – Welcome\n10.05am – 10.45am – Presentation\n10.45am – 11.00am – Q & A\n11.00am – 11.30am – Networking & Refreshments \nAbstract:\nCortical plasticity is the neural mechanism by which the cerebrum adapts itself to its environment\, while at the same time making it vulnerable to impoverished sensory or developmental experiences.  Like the visual system\, auditory development passes through a series of sensitive periods in which circuits and connections are established and then refined by experience.  During these periods\, the functional maturation of auditory processing and perception is critically dependent on adequate auditory experience.  Unfortunately\, in cases of sensory deprivation\, such as congenital deafness\, this process is arrested.  Fortunately\, it appears that this situation can be reversed in individuals that receive cochlear prosthetics. \nCurrent research is expanding our understanding of cerebral processing and organization in the deaf.  In the congenitally deaf\, higher-order areas of “deaf” auditory cortex demonstrate significant crossmodal plasticity with neurons responding to visual and somatosensory stimuli.  This crucial cerebral function results in adaptive\, compensatory plasticity.  Not only can the remaining inputs reorganize to substitute for those lost\, but this additional circuitry also confers enhanced abilities to the remaining systems.  In this presentation\, we will review our present understanding of the structure and function of “deaf” auditory cortex using psychophysical\, electrophysiological\, and connectional anatomy approaches and consider how this knowledge informs our expectations of the capabilities of cochlear implants in the developing brain. \nBiography:\nStephen G. Lomber\, Ph.D. is a Professor of Physiology\, Psychology\, and Neuroscience at the University of Western Ontario (Canada) where he holds the Canada Research Chair in Brain Plasticity and Development.  Dr. Lomber holds degrees in Neurobiology from the University of Rochester (B.Sc.) and the Boston University School of Medicine (Ph.D.).  Dr. Lomber directs the Cerebral Systems Laboratory (www.cerebralsystems.ca) and is a Principal Investigator in the Canadian National Centre for Audiology and the Brain and Mind Institute.  Dr. Lomber’s lab uses an integrated approach of psychophysics\, electrophysiological recording\, neuroanatomical techniques\, and functional imaging to examine processing in the auditory cortex.  The lab has pioneered the use of focal cooling to reversibly deactivate regions of the cerebrum.  Work in his lab examines cortical plasticity in the presence and absence of acoustic input\, and following the initiation of auditory processing through the means of cochlear prosthetics. \n  \nWho should come:  hearing\, speech and language researchers and clinicians\, cognitive scientists\, psychologists\, researchers in aging health and health care professionals.\nNetwork: Learn from one another and see what collaboration opportunities are available.\nRegistration:  Entry is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:AHH seminar: Exploring primary auditory neuron physiology
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Karina Needham\nDate: Monday 26 June\nTime: 1.30pm – 3.00pm\nLocation: Australian Hearing Hub\, Level 1\, Lecture Theatre  \nAgenda:\n1.30pm – 1.35pm – Welcome\n1.35pm – 2.15pm – Presentation\n2.15pm  – 2.30pm – Q & A\n2.30pm – 3.00pm – Networking & Refreshments \nAbstract: Primary auditory neurons provide the critical link between the inner ear and brain. To understand and improve our treatment of hearing loss\, it is important that we understand the physiology of these neurons\, and their response to therapeutics and novel forms of stimulation. In our lab we use patch-clamp electrophysiology to study the electrical activity of primary auditory neurons in culture as a way to explore how neural function (and the ion channels that control this) are influenced by neurotrophins\, and how this population can be activated by optical stimulation. This talk will provide an overview of recent research\, including our assessment of which culture conditions and models best reflect the native physiological properties of auditory neurons. \n Bio: Karina received her PhD from the University of Melbourne in 2006\, followed by postdoctoral positions at the Bionics Institute\, La Trobe University and the University of Melbourne (Anatomy & Neuroscience). Karina is currently a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Melbourne in the Department of Surgery (Otolaryngology)\, where she is head of the Hearing Neurosciences lab. Her lab examines the electrical activity of primary auditory neurons and investigates how these neurons and their ion channels respond to trauma\, therapeutic treatments and novel forms of stimulation. Karina is now the Project Leader for the HEARing CRC’s Interface Optimisation and Assessment work. \nWho should come:  hearing\, speech and language researchers and clinicians\, cognitive scientists\, psychologists\, researchers in health and health care professionals.\nNetwork: Learn from one another and see what collaboration opportunities are available.\nRegistration:  Entry is free and open to the public.\nPlease register by Thursday 22 June to louise.dodd@mq.edu.au \n

SUMMARY:AHH seminar: Novel approaches in age related hearing loss
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Professor Anne Schilder\nDate: Tuesday  16 May\nTime: 10.00am – 11.30am\nLocation: Australian Hearing Hub\, Level 1\, Lecture Theatre  \nAgenda:\n10.00am – 10.05am – Welcome\n10.05am – 10.45am – Presentation\n10.45am – 11.00am – Q & A\n11.00am – 11.30am – Networking & Refreshments \nAbstract: Hearing loss disables over 360 million people worldwide. Irrespective of its cause and severity\, hearing loss can have a large impact on people’s health and well-being. The treatment of hearing loss is currently limited to the use of hearing aids or devices surgically implanted in the middle or inner ear. These devices often perform poorly in noisy environments and can be very costly. It has been estimated that the costs of untreated hearing loss are €213 billion in Europe alone each year. \nDamage to the hair cells in the cochlea (“sensorineural hearing loss”) is the major cause of hearing loss acquired later in life. The assumption has long been that sensorineural hearing loss is irreversible because once the hair cells in the cochlea become damaged\, they cannot regenerate. However\, recent studies in animals with hearing loss have shown that new and functioning hair cells can be generated through local treatment with a gamma-secretase inhibitor and improved hearing. \nThe REGAIN consortium is in the unique position to take the next crucial step in translation of these findings to the clinic\, and test if this treatment is safe and improves hearing in people with sensorineural hearing loss. \nREGAIN project website: http://www.regainyourhearing.eu/ \nBio: Anne is an ENT surgeon and a trialist. She leads evidENT\, a multidisciplinary clinical research team that bridges the University College London Ear Institute’s discovery science and the Royal National Throat Nose and Ear Hospital’s clinical excellence.
