Analysis of the consistency of alphabet symbol/speech sound correspondence in three basal reader series

This paper reviews a study to analyze the number of times alphabet symbols occur in three commonly used basal reader series.

A critical analysis of scores, accumulated from the presentation of the Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence Scale to adolescent and adult deafened individuals

This paper discusses the validity of the Wechsler-Bellevue Intelligence test for hearing impaired adolescents and adults.

The relation between intelligibility and the acoustic characteristics of deaf speech: An acoustic analysis of the vowels /i/ and /aw/, and nasals

This paper discusses a study that examined acoustic measures and the relationship to speech intelligibility of children with cochlear implants.

Efficacy of the Speech Intelligibility Index as an intervention tool with pediatric cancer patients

This study evaluates the Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) as a tool to describe hearing loss and predict when hearing aids would be appropriate for pediatric oncology patients who have received or are currently receiving cisplatin. The efficacy of the SII is compared to the Brock grade which is commonly used for patients with ototoxic hearing loss secondary to cisplatin treatment. The SII is a discrete measure that precisely reflects the patient’s functional hearing status and is highly correlated with the need for audiologic intervention.

An analysis of the language of certain social study textbooks pertinent to instruction of deaf children

This paper discusses the results of a study of social studies textbooks suitable for hearing impaired children.

An analysis of the relationship between immittance results and AC/BC

This paper analyzes subjects with air bone (A/B) gaps (a comparison of air-conducted thresholds and bone-conducted thresholds) and whether tympanometry (the type of tympanogram, static admittance, or peak pressure) can predict the size of the A/B gap.

An analysis of the Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests and the Diagnostic Reading Scales for use with hearing-impaired children

This paper examines two individually administered diagnostic reading tests, the Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests and the Diagnostic Reading Scales, to determine their value for use with hearing-impaired children.

An analysis of the achievement of deaf children on a standardized vocabulary test

This paper examines the vocabulary responses of hearing impaired children on standardized tests.

Factors relating to the intelligibility of the speech of deaf children

This paper reviews a study of the speech intelligibility of deaf children to listeners with normal hearing.

An analysis of the effect of audiologic management on a newborn hearing screening program's refer and loss to follow-up rates

This study includes an exhaustive review of the literature related to universal newborn hearing screening and loss to follow-up. It examines refer and follow-up rates in Missouri and highlights three successful newborn hearing screening programs under the same audiologic management.

An analysis of the use of auxiliary verbs by deaf children using cochlear implants

Spontaneous writing samples of deaf children with cochlear implants were analyzed for auxiliary verb errors. These results were compared to norms of typically developing children.
