This paper discusses the creation of a condensed list SRT application of the W-1 for the Macintosh computer.

A proposed plan for using Dr. Marie Carbo's tape-recorded books to improve word recognition skills in children with cochlear implants

This paper studies the effectiveness of the recorded books and teaching method developed by Dr. Marie Carbo in the aural habilitation of pre-lingual deaf children with cochlear implants.

Some considerations of word association test responses among deaf children

This paper is a review of a study of word association tests for hearing impaired children.

Utilizing hearing assistive technology (HAT) to assess speech recognition: Comparison of word recognition scores obtained by hearing instrument users

The ability for individuals with hearing loss to accurately recognize correct versus incorrect verbal responses during traditional word recognition testing across four different listening conditions was assessed.

Central Institute for the Deaf's Word of Mouth class: developing its future

This paper reviews the Word of Mouth program at CID.

Comparing two receptive vocabulary tests: The receptive one word vocabulary test and the peabody picture vocabulary test

This paper discusses a study to determine whether the Receptive One Word Picture Vocabulary Test is more useful than the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test in assessing the vocabularies of hearing imparied children.

The effectiveness of "Word of Mouth" classes on the use of communication strategies, communication attitudes and lipreading skills

This paper examines the effectiveness of aural rehabilitation on persons with an adventitious hearing loss.

Evaluating lexically controlled word lists for open set speech perception testing in profoundly hearing impaired children

This paper evaluates speech perception testing in pediatric cochlear implant users. Using pre-recorded stimulus presentation, the author replicated an earlier experiment comparing the Lexical Neighborhood List (LNT) test to the Phonetically Balanced Kindergarten (PB-K) test in estimating speech perception abilities in hearing impaired children.

Common errors made by clinic patients responding to the W-22 and NU-6 word lists

This paper presents a study of common errors made during speech discrimination testing.

Word level speech perception under four levels of simulated profound hearing loss

This paper discusses a study to determine average performance on word discrimination tests using the CID Early Speech Perception Test (ESP).

The applicability of The Test of Word Knowledge to hearing-impaired children

This paper evaluates a receptive and expressive vocabulary test, The Test of Word Knowledge, to determine its applicability to deaf students and to compare its results with other vocabulary tests.

The effects of earmuffs and hearing impairment on word discrimination in noise

This paper discusses a study to determine selection of hearing protective devices to ensure optimum speech discrimination.

Activities development for 2 word combinations on pre-sentence level TAGS

This paper presents activities to assist teachers of hearing impaired students to develop 2-word combinations for use in instruction in conjunction with the Teacher Assessment of Grammatical Structures Pre-Sentence Level (TAGS-P). The paper presents activity procedures and materials to guide teachers in teaching 2-word combinations.

The construction and administration of a word hearing test

This paper describes a new word hearing test in order to test the hearing of school age children.

Differential sensitivity to tonal frequency and to the rate of modulation of broad-band noise by hearing-impaired listeners

This dissertation examined whether a hearing impairment of the auditory end-organ has the same or a differential effect on the place and periodicity processes. Differential sensitivities for four normally hearing listeners and for both ears of five patients with unilateral Meniere’s disease were measured for tonal frequency and rate of sinusoidally amplitude-modulated noise at common frequencies and rates of the stimulus.
