Harvey Dillon
Harvey Albert Dillon is an Australian expert in auditory science and linguistics. Dillon did research for many years at the Australian National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL), where he was appointed Director in 2000. From 1991 to 2007, Dillon was also a deputy director of the Cooperative Research Centre for Cochlear Implant and Hearing Aid Innovations. While at NAL, Dillon created, jointly with Denis Byrne, the Client Oriented Scale of Improvement (COSI) questionnaire for guiding improvements in hearing ability. In 2016, while Director at NAL, Dillon was awarded the Aram Glorig Award ‘for lifelong dedication to Audiology and in recognition of his achievements for the science and practice of Audiology’ at the World Congress of Audiology held in Vancouver. In 2003, the American Academy of Audiology (AAA) gave Dillon a Research Achievement Award for significant impact in the field of audiology/hearing research. in 2013, the Callier Center for Communication Disorders at the Universi ...

Auditory Science
Auditory science or hearing science is a field of research and education concerning the Hearing, perception of sounds by humans, animals, or machines. It is a heavily interdisciplinary field at the crossroad between acoustics, neuroscience, and psychology. It is often related to one or many of these other fields: psychophysics, psychoacoustics, audiology, physiology, otorhinolaryngology, speech science, automatic speech recognition, music psychology, linguistics, and psycholinguistics. History Early auditory research included the early 19th century work of Georg Ohm and August Seebeck and their experiments and arguments about Fourier analysis of sounds. Later in the 19th century, German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz wrote ''Sensations of Tone'' describing the founding concepts of psychoacoustics, i.e. the relationship between the physical parameters of a sound and the percept that it induces. Psychoacoutics is primarily interested in the basic workings of the ear and is, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
