This paper reviews the Word of Mouth program at CID.

A proposed program for the education of the deaf in the Philippines

This paper outlines a program for the education of the hearing impaired in the Philippines.

What it takes: Issues in implementing electronic portfolios

The purpose of this study was to investigate the issues in implementing electronic portfolios as a school-wide innovation, and to provide a resource guide for the future use of electronic portfolios at Central Institute for the Deaf.

Comparing two receptive vocabulary tests: The receptive one word vocabulary test and the peabody picture vocabulary test

This paper discusses a study to determine whether the Receptive One Word Picture Vocabulary Test is more useful than the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test in assessing the vocabularies of hearing imparied children.

Comparison of long term cochlear noise injury and age-related cochlear degeneration in mice

This paper studies and compares age related hearing loss and noise-induced hearing loss in mice, and the different cell types that are affected by aging and noise.

Cooperative learning: helping hearing impaired students build success

This paper examines the importance of cooperative learning and its use in the education of hearing-impaired children.

Compensatory signal processing for profoundly hearing-impaired listeners: the transmission of fundamental frequency

This paper reviews a study to determine the usefulness of signal processing along with lipreading in improving speech perception of profoundly hearing impaired persons.

A study of cochlear potentials

This paper is a review of the electrophysiology of the cochlea and the auditory nerve--the behavior of the acting potential, the cochlear microphonics and the summating potential under identical conditions.

Mainstreaming: panacea or pitfall

This paper reviews the issues of mainstreaming for hearing impaired children.

The effectiveness of "Word of Mouth" classes on the use of communication strategies, communication attitudes and lipreading skills

This paper examines the effectiveness of aural rehabilitation on persons with an adventitious hearing loss.

Evaluating lexically controlled word lists for open set speech perception testing in profoundly hearing impaired children

This paper evaluates speech perception testing in pediatric cochlear implant users. Using pre-recorded stimulus presentation, the author replicated an earlier experiment comparing the Lexical Neighborhood List (LNT) test to the Phonetically Balanced Kindergarten (PB-K) test in estimating speech perception abilities in hearing impaired children.

Audiologic findings in patients with hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia

This paper is a review of the connection between sensorineural hearing loss and rickets.

Development of a simple index to predict benefit and satisfaction from amplification

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of non-audiological patient-based variables; amount of bother, importance of improved hearing, and expectations, as reliable predictors of benefit and satisfaction from amplification. Study findings were then used to develop two initial prognostic indices.

Conducive hearing loss: its effect on speech perception and language development

This paper discusses the effects of conducive hearing loss on language development.

Eighth nerve degeneration in the deafness mouse

This paper discusses a study done to examine regeneration of spiral ganglion cells in the deafness mouse.
