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.

Tactile localization of acoustic stimuli with an earmold vibratrory aid

This study examines the tactile localization of sound sources utilizing an earmold vibratory hearing aid.

Patient perception of disability following acoustic (vestibular) schwannoma removal via gamma knife and microsurgical techniques

This study evaluates patient's short and long-term balance function after microsurgical tumor removal and gamma knife radiosurgery using an unvalidated qualitative questionnaire and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory.

Identification of normal and abnormal acoustic speech patterns by profoundly hearing-impaired children

This paper discusses a study to determine if profoundly hearing impaired children could identify acoustically normal speech patterns from abnormal speech patterns.

Effects of combined electric and acoustic hearing on speech perception of a pediatric cochlear implant user

The primary objective of this study was to document the benefits and possible detriments of combining ipsilateral acoustic hearing in the cochlear implant ear of a patient with preserved low frequency residual hearing post cochlear implantation. The secondary aim was to examine the efficacy of various cochlear implant mapping and hearing aid fitting strategies in relation to electro-acoustic benefits.

Acoustic reflex measurements in normals and Meniere's Syndrome using pulsed stimuli

This paper reviews a study to determine the maximum rate the acoustic reflex can follow pulsed stimuli in normal hearing subjects and in subjects with Meniere's Syndrome.

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.

Dimensions of the acoustic reflex as measured in a background of noise

This study examines whether background noise, presented at 10 dB below its reflex threshold, affects the acoustic reflex (AR) response for pure tones presented subsequent to the onset of the noise.

The acoustic approach to speech correction

This paper reviews a study to determine if an auditory approach to speech correction can be of beneift to hearing impaired children who have become visually oriented.

Comparison of three speakers along critical acoustic dimensions

This paper discusses a study done on the speech production of elementary school aged children.

Acoustic reflex measurements in normals and Meniere's Syndrome using pulsed stimuli

This paper reviews a study to determine the maximum rate the acoustic reflex can follow pulsed stimuli in normal hearing subjects and in subjects with Meniere's Syndrome.

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.

Perceptual validation of an acoustic metric for measuring vowel production by deaf children

This paper discusses a study to validate the metric developed in the Geers and Moog Cochlear Implant Study at CID to measure the speech production of hearing impaired children.

Classroom acoustics: the national acoustic standard

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.
