Communication strategies used by teachers at a school for the deaf

This paper describes alternate approaches to communication with hearing-impaired children which are used by classroom teachers at a school for the deaf.

Classroom acoustics: enhancing the listening environment through the use of amplification systems

This paper discusses the variables affecting classroom acoustics and a case study examination of some local classrooms. Classrooms were measured against proposed American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards and treatment options for improving acoustics are suggested.

Newborn hearing screening: examining the presence of risk factors for hearing loss

This paper identifies risk factors associated with hearing loss in newborns, including family history, craniofacial abnormalities, and ototoxic medications.

Experimental method for teaching specific language structures to hearing-impaired children

This paper presents an experimental Receptive-Expressive Multi-Modal Learning Program of Patterned Language Practice for hearing-impaired children.

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.

Reaction-times of hearing-impaired children to acoustic stimuli of different sensation levels

This paper discusses a study to determine the relation between sensation level and response time to acoustic stimuli.

An experimental base to cognitive learning: its application in the education of young hearing-impaired children

This paper reviews a program of study for language development using a cognitive approach.

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.

The stapedial reflex as an early indicator of cis-platinum ototoxicity

This paper discusses a study to determine whether changes in stapedial reflex thresholds can be utilized as an early indicator of cochlear damage with ongoing cid-platinum therapy.

Sensitivity and specificity of tympanometric gradient and middle ear resonance in young children and infants

This paper discusses the use of tympanometric gradient, middle ear resonance and static admittance as diagnostic tools for testing the hearing of children and infants.

A blended classroom program

This paper presents a model project on reverse mainstreaming, incorporating children with typical hearing into a classroom with hearing-impaired children at the preschool level.

Audiologic findings in patients with hypophosphatemic rickets/osteomalacia

This paper is a review of the connection between sensorineural hearing loss and rickets.

A comparison of communication breakdowns and repair strategies used by cochlear implant children from two differenct methodologies

This study investigates how children with cochlear implants from simultaneous communications backgrounds and from oral education backgrounds experience communication breakdowns. The study examines each group's response to communication breakdowns and the repair strategies of each group.

Hearing hazards to firefighters

This paper examines the risks of occupational noise induced hearing loss in firefighters. OSHA and National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) guidelines are described and noise data collected from the Blue Island (Illinois) Fire Department is analyzed.

The perception of vowels in hearing and hearing-impaired subjects

This paper examines the relationship between speech discrimination ability and vowel map accuracy and vowel map size.
