Cued speech

This paper discusses cued speech.

Recognition of temporarily modified speech stimuli

This paper studies the relationship between consonant duration and recognition of these consanants by listeners with high frequency hearing loss.

Utilizing hearing assistive technology (HAT) to assess speech recognition: Comparison of word recognition scores obtained by hearing instrument users

The ability for individuals with hearing loss to accurately recognize correct versus incorrect verbal responses during traditional word recognition testing across four different listening conditions was assessed.

Predicting for the hearing impaired the intelligibility of different kinds of speech materials

This paper discusses a study to define the function relating the scores for hearing impaired listeners on four different speech materials.

The effect of pre-implant puretone thresholds on post-implant speech perception ability in children

This paper studies the effect of residual hearing on post-implant speech perception in children with cochlear implants. The effect of pre-implant auditory experience and the effect of neuronal survival in the implanted ear were investigated.

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.

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

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

Open-set speech perception of school-age cochlear implant users

This study examines specific auditory features perceived by profoundly hearing-impaired children using conventional binaural hearing aids and the Nucleus 22 Channel Cochlear Implant. The primary interest of this study was to learn which speech features were most easily perceived by users of each device.

The acoustic approach to speech correction

This paper reviews a study to determine if an auditory approach to speech correction can be of beneift to hearing impaired children who have become visually oriented.

Phoneme analysis of cochlear implant recipients' responses to CNC words using the MPEAK and SPEAK speech coding strategies of the Nucleus cochlear implant system

This paper discusses a study done to determine how cochlear implant users perceive speech sounds using MPEAK or SPEAK speech coding strategy.

Word level speech perception under four levels of simulated profound hearing loss

This paper discusses a study to determine average performance on word discrimination tests using the CID Early Speech Perception Test (ESP).

Four discourse level speech perception under four levels of simulated profound hearing loss

This paper reviews a study to determine the maximum discourse level speech perception capabilities of profoundly deaf children in four speech perception categories as defined by the Early Speech Perception Test (ESP).

The use of three speech training aids by a profoundly deaf child

This paper reviews a study of an eleven year old profoundly deaf child and the use of a oscilloscope in speech therapy.

Respiration for life vs. respiration for speech

This paper examines the differences between respiration for life and respiration for speech and how it can help with teaching intelligible speech.

Performance of postlinguistically deaf cochlear implant patients on the connected speech test (version 3)

This paper discusses a study on postlingual cochlear implantees and the effectiveness of the CST in evaluating enhancement of speech recognition abilities.
