Overview

Michael A. Stone is affiliated with the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. Their research spans several fields, predominantly focusing on neuroscience and its intersections with hearing and signal processing technologies.

The scientist has contributed extensively to the study and understanding of hearing loss and rehabilitation, speech and audio processing, and noise effects and management. Their work also encompasses topics related to hearing mechanisms such as cochlea function, tinnitus, and genetics. Additional areas of involvement include indoor and outdoor localization technologies, EEG and brain-computer interfaces, and blind source separation techniques.

Key subfields of their research include cognitive neuroscience, signal processing, speech and hearing, sensory systems, and electrical and electronic engineering. These areas reflect a multidisciplinary approach, integrating experimental and applied aspects of auditory science and engineering.

Michael A. Stone has published frequently in notable venues, with a strong presence in:

  • The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
  • Journal of Vascular Surgery
  • Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research)
  • Ear and Hearing
  • Trends in Hearing

Their recent publications include:

  • "Aided Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials in Infants With Frequency-Specific Synthetic Speech Stimuli: Sensitivity, Repeatability, and Feasibility" (2023, Ear and Hearing)
  • "Effect of the number of amplitude-compression channels and compression speed on speech recognition by listeners with mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss" (2020, The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America)
  • "Improving hearing-aid gains based on automatic speech recognition" (2020, The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America)
  • "Improving the measurement and acoustic performance of transparent face masks and shields" (2022, The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America)
  • "Threshold Equalizing Noise Test Reveals Suprathreshold Loss of Hearing Function, Even in the "Normal" Audiogram Range" (2022, Ear and Hearing)

The scientist collaborates frequently with a group of co-authors, including:

  • Melanie Lough
  • Harvey Dillon
  • Helen Whiston
  • Kevin J. Munro
