Social-emotional adustment in deaf children: An investigation of the relationship between academic and speech perception abilities to social-emotional adjustment

This paper discusses the results of a study undertaken to determine if there is a relationship between psychological variables and cognitive or academic variables among hearing-impaired children.

Comparison of Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) results with subjective visual vertical (SVV) test in patients with and without vestibular dysfunction: effects of horizontal headshaking

The goal of the study was to identify what effect headshaking in the horizontal plane has on Computerized Dynamic Posturography results in normals and patients with unilateral vestibular dysfunction. Additionally, the results were compared to results of the dynamic subjective visual vertical test.

Dynamic visual acuity following high-frequency head vibration

In order to evaluate high-frequency VOR function, the effects of different types of motion on visual acuity were evaluated in asymptomatic and symptomatic subjects. A new testing protocol of evaluating vestibular function was developed in an effort to enhance current treatment protocols.

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

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

Comparative study of the Gaze Stabilization Test (GST) and the Dynamic Visual Acuity Test (DVAT) for detecting patients with unilateral vestibular dysfunction

This paper compares the use of two diagnostic tests, Gaze Stabilization Test (GST) and the Dynamic Visual Acuity Test (DVAT) to detect unilateral vestibular dysfunction.

Hearing-aid volume control adjustment by deaf children

This paper examines hearing aid volume control adjustments by deaf children. Specifically the study looks at how accurately deaf children set the volume controls of their hearing aids, if deaf children are able to comprehend the effects of talker-microphone distance on stimulus intensity, and do deaf children use their hearing aids to monitor their own voices.
