An analysis of four reading series at the third grade reading level

This paper discusses a study of four reading series at the third grade reading level for hearing impaired children.

A comparison of physical measurements of pure-tones, third-octave bands of noise and third-octave bands of speech to subjective judgments of audibility threshold, MCL and UCL for three normally hearing listeners

This study investigates the relation between physical measurements of pure-tones, third-octave bands of noise and third-octave bands of speech and subjective judgments of auditory threshold, most-comfortable listening level (MCL) and uncomfortable-listening level (UCL) for three normally hearing listeners.

Perceptual aspects of a three-dimensional vowel space

This dissertation examines the auditory-perceptual theory of speech perception and the concept and validity of perceptual target zones for vowels.

Development of a social studies unit on world geography written at a third grade reading level

Evaluation of multiple speech processing combinations in the Cochlear Nucleus 5 cochlear implant system using R-Space simulation

Difficulty understanding speech in the presence of background noise is a common report among cochlear implant recipients. The purpose of this research is to evaluate speech processing options currently available in the Cochlear Nucleus 5 sound processor to determine the best option for improving speech recognition in noise.
