Summary:

Elaine H. N. Ng's research focuses on cognition in hearing aid users, specifically the memory for everyday speech. This thesis investigates the importance of cognitive abilities in speech understanding among both experienced and new hearing aid users. It includes four studies aimed at developing cognitive tests, assessing the impact of signal processing on memory, and examining the relationship between cognition and speech recognition in noisy environments. The findings highlight the role of working memory capacity in listening with hearing aids and suggest that cognitive function is crucial for new users adapting to hearing aids. The SWIR test is proposed as a potential clinical tool for assessing hearing aid outcomes. Generated by AI.
