The effects of hearing aid gain on speech perception and the articulation index

This paper discusses a study to determine if changes in aided articulation indices predict changes in aided speech perception ability.

Immediate recall by aphasic, deaf and normally hearing children for visual forms presented simultaneously or sequentially in tim

This paper discusses a study to investigate immediate recall of visual stimuli presented simultaneously or sequentially in time.

The intelligibility of cleft palate speech with and without dental prosthesis

This paper discusses a study to investigate the possibility of quantifying and analyzing the speech of cleft palate subjects.

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 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.

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.

The high risk register and identification of hearing impaired infants in an NICU

This paper discusses hearing tests of infants in a NICU.

Efficacy of high-frequency tympanometry in infants birth to six months of age: A pilot study

The purpose of this study was to assess the use of 1 kHz tympanometry in young infants. A larger sample will be needed to develop definitive norms and determine the sensitivity and specificity of 1 kHz tympanometry for middle ear pathology in young infants.

Are distortion levels a problem with digital signal processing hearing aids and frequency modulation (FM) systems?

The purpose of this study was to examine objective and subjective distortion present when frequency modulation (FM) systems were coupled with four digital signal processing (DSP) hearing aids. Electroacoustic analysis and subjective listening tests by experienced audiologists revealed that distortion levels varied across hearing aids and channels.

Oral and manual language skills of hearing children of deaf parents

This paper reviews a study of the language skills of normal hearing children whose parents are deaf and use manual communication.

The relation between the electroencephalogram and the ease of autonomic conditioning

This paper discusses the results of a study to determine a relationship between the EEG pattern and autonomic conditioning.

A comparison of two techniques for evaluating the development of syntax in children's language: developmental sentence analysis and the CID grammatical analysis of elicited language: simple sentence level

This paper compares two language evaluation tests--Development Sentence Analysis and the CID Grammatical Analysis of Elicited Language: Simple Sentence Level.

Central auditory processing: a current literature review and summary of interviews with researchers on controversial issues related to auditory processing disorders

This paper discusses issues related to Auditory Processing Disorders (ADP) evaluation and management, focusing mainly on the disorder in children.

The relationship of hearing-impaired children's scores on the Beery Visual-Motor Integration Test and the reading subtests of the American School Achievement Test

This paper discusses visual-motor tests and reading tests for hearing impaired children.

The influence of various types of question forms and test directions on the educational achievement of deaf and hearing children

This paper is a review of educational achievement tests and their suitability for hearing impaired children.
