Relationships among audiological measurements, tinnitus measurements and self-reported hearing handicap in subjects with occupational hearing loss

This paper discusses a study of workman's compensation claims and relationships among audiological measures, tinnitus and self-reported hearing handicap.

A literature review of three common balance tests: Electronystagmography, Rotary Chair Testing, and Computerized Dynamic Posturography

This paper discusses the rationale, clinical applications, advantages and disadvantages of three common balance function tests: Electronystagmography (ENG), Rotational Chair Testing (RCT), and Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP).

Acoustic reflex measurements in normals and Meniere's Syndrome using pulsed stimuli

This paper reviews a study to determine the maximum rate the acoustic reflex can follow pulsed stimuli in normal hearing subjects and in subjects with Meniere's Syndrome.

The relation between parental attitudes and cochlear implant benefit in eight and nine year-old children

This paper examines the relation between the speech perception abilities of children with a cochlear implant and parental attitudes.

Perception and cognition in deaf children

This dissertation examines conceptual functioning of hearing impaired persons. Specifically the study addresses perceptual and conceptual functioning in both deaf and hearing children and whether there is a difference in performance as a function of hearing status, as attributable to age differences, or as a function of the school environment.

Educating deaf and hard of hearing students in the mainstream classroom

This paper examines the mainstreaming of hearing-impaired students in regular education classrooms. It evaluates the areas where teachers need more information regarding deafness, hearing loss and the teaching of hearing-impaired students. The paper also presents a list of resources to assist teachers in the education of hearing-impaired students in the mainstream classroom.

The slow cortical evoked potential: cross modality interaction of auditory, vibro-tactile and shock stimuli

This paper discusses a study that collected cortical evoked responses when stimuli of different modalities were presented.

A study of threshold and loudness summation in normal-hearing listeners

This paper presents some normative data on the relation between the perceived loudness of third-octave bands of noise and that of broad-band noise. The study used normally-hearing listeners and was used as a control study for a parallel study done with hearing impaired listeners.

The relationship between performance on the Stanford Achievement Test and the Peabody Individual Achievement test for a group of hearing-impaired children

This paper discusses the Stanford and Peabody tests for achievement and which test is more efficient for hearing impaired children.

Synergistic effects of noise, kanamycin, and hyperoxia on ABR thresholds in CBA/J mice

Young CBA/J mice were exposed to noise, kanamycin, and/or hyperoxia by 30 days post-gestational age in order to determine if a synergistic effect exists on ABR thresholds.

The Developmental Sentence Analysis and the Grammatical Analysis of Elicited Language - Complex Level: a correlative study

This paper studies the Developmental Sentence Analysis (DSA), which measures syntactic maturity of spontaneous utterances, and the Grammatical Analysis of Elicited Language (GAEL), which uses a highly structured set of games and activities designed to elicit specific target sentences.

Monaural and binaural loudness summation of speech

This paper reviews a study to determine optimum hearing aid settings based on loudness.

Auditory difference limen for duration in deaf and hearing listeners

This paper reviews a study to determine if deaf children can discriminate fine durational changes in acoustic signals or whether the impairment of the peripheral auditory system interferes with the temporal precision necessary for such tasks.

HIV and AIDS awareness in the deaf community

This paper examines awareness of HIV and AIDS in the Deaf community.

Perception of speech through a 500 Hz low-pass filter: sensory aids and communication strategies

This paper reviews a study to investigate how a hearing impaired person can learn to discriminate speech distorted by a low pass filter in a sensory aid.
