Visual speech perception: a comparison between younger and older adults

This paper examines the visual speech processing abilities of older adults and the age-related effects on speechreading abilities.

Effect of auditory processing on the preference of monaural amplification for adults with symmetrical hearing loss

The purpose of this project was to determine if subjects with symmetrical hearing loss who prefer a monaural hearing aid fit to a binaural hearing aid fit may demonstrate an auditory processing disorder causing them to experience binaural interference when fit binaurally.

Comparing auditory steady state response and auditory brainstem response in normal hearing adults

This paper presents a study examining auditory steady state response (ASSR) assessments compared to auditory brainstem response (ABR) assessments. The study examines the relationship between behavioral thresholds, click- and toneburst-ABR thresholds, and ASSR thresholds for normal hearing subjects using the commercially available GSI Audera instrument.

Alleviation of voice difficulties in adults

This paper discusses methods of therapy for voice disorders in adults.

Training hearing adults in the use of communication strategies to prevent communication breakdowns with hearing impaired individuals: A pilot study

This paper discusses a pilot study and the use of repair strategies to aid in communication with the hearing impaired.

A survey on the concepts used in the hearing aid selection process for hearing-impaired adults

This paper is a review of current practices in 1976 among audiologists and hearing aid dealers in fitting of hearing aids for adults.

Usage of oral skills by orally educated deaf adults

This paper discusses oral deaf adults and use of speech.

Relationship among otoacoustic emission suppression and auditory processing measures in adults

The purpose of this Capstone Project is to help determine whether performing otoacoustic emissions with contralateral noise may be used in the diagnosis of Auditory Processing Disorder.

Evaluation technique designed to investigate the efficacy of a group communication-based aural rehabilitation program for hearing-impaired adults

This paper studies aural rehabilitation efforts designed to address the compensatory strategies used by hearing-impaired adults and evaluates the success of an eight week group communications-based therapy program.

Evaluation of sentence perception of adults with hearing loss when using a video teleconferencing system

This study evaluate the speech perception of hearing-impaired adults (with varying degrees of deafness) when using a video teleconferencing system (an integrated service digital network).

Survey of hearing-impaired adults and parents of hearing-impaired children and their knowledge of the Americans with Disabilities Act

This paper discusses the results of a survey about awareness of the American with Disabilities Act.

Comparing auditory steady-state response and auditory brainstem response in normal hearing adults

This paper compares the auditory steady state response (ASSR) thresholds with the click-evoked and tone burst auditory brainstem response (ABR) thresholds in their ability to predict known behavioral thresholds in normal-hearing adults.
