Reception of acoustic speech signals as a function of sensation levels by hearing-impaired children

This paper is a review of a study to determine the sensation level at which the best discrimination and recognition occurs for severely and profoundly deaf children and the effect of distortion (peak clipping) has on the child's ability to recognize speech.

Comparing speech assessments: The usefulness of the DEAP as compared to the GFTA-2

This study seeks to evaluate whether the DEAP, a new speech assessment that assesses vowels in addition to consonants, is as effective with children who are deaf and hard of hearing as an older, more established speech assessment, the GFTA-2.
