This paper discusses auditory neuropathy (AN) and auditory dys-sychrony (AD), and means of testing and diagnosis.

Differences in added stable gain between manufacturers, audiometric configurations, earmold styles, and frequency bands

Added stable gain (ASG) was measured to assess the differences in feedback reduction algorithms across six manufacturers, two earmold styles, ten audiograms, and three frequency bands.

The school and the social-emotional adjustment of hearing-impaired adolescents

This paper reviews the social and emotional issues of hearing impaired adolescents.

Tactile errors of localization on the sternums of tactaid VII users and non-users

This paper discusses a study done to test tactile errors of localization abilities, with and without a Tactaid VII communication aid.

Comparison of a special hearing aid with a conventional aid for detection and discrimination of high-frequency phonemes

A comparison of scores of deaf and hearing children on the Hiskey Test of learning ability and on performance scales

This paper discusses the Hiskey Test of learning ability and its use on hearing impaired and normal hearing children.

Using love and logic at home: A workshop for parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing

Research supporting a workshop about using Love and Logic techniques at home, tailored for parents of children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

The phase relations of normal ears compared with the phase relations of otosclerotic ears before and after the fenestration operation

This paper discusses the fenestration operation and its effect on hearing.

Acoustical barriers to communication and hearing

This study examined the acoustical conditions, including the surface-dimension measurements, background noise levels, and reverberation times in classrooms in a metropolitan area. The data collected in this study will help school administrators realize that appropriate classroom acoustics are necessary for both hearing impaired and normal hearing students.

Newborn hearing screening: A retrospective analysis of hit and false positive rates in the NICU and how they are influenced by risk factors for hearing loss in a suburban birthing hospital

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a hearing screening program, particularly focusing on hit and false positive rates in the NICU and WBN at a top-rated birthing hospital in Saint Louis, MO. Additionally, the study examined how these rates may be influenced by risk factors for hearing loss.

The structural component of linguistic meaning and the reading of normally hearing and deaf children

This paper discusses an experiment in psycholinguistic method and its application to the field of education.

The calibration and use of probe-test microphones

This paper examines the characteristics of the probe-tube microphone and its use in measuring sound pressure in the ear canal. Specifically the paper studies the free field and the coupler calibrations of several probe-tube microphones with tubes of different sizes and determines which characteristics of a probe tube are necessary for accurate measurements in both a free field and in a closed coupler.

An educational curriculum outline for teaching sound and hearing in elementary schools

This paper provides curriculum on noise, ears, hearing and deafness for elementary school children.

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.
