The inner-relationship among lipreading ability, auditory speech perception ability, hearing loss, and language level in hearing impaired children

This paper reviews a study done to determine the correlation between lipreading, auditory speech perception, language abilities, and hearing loss levels in hearing impaired children.

A test of auditory-visual speech perception for hearing-impaired children

This paper discusses a test for speech perception and scoring to test likelihood of success with mainstreaming.

Comparison of speech processor MAP minimum (T) and maximum (C) levels with psychophysical thresholds and maximum acceptable loudness levels in users of the Nucleus 22 cochlear implant system

This paper discusses the Nucleus 22 cochlear implant.

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.

Speech and the hearing-impaired child: evaluation and revision of the CID Speech Skills Worksheet

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the current use of the Central Institute for the Deaf’s Speech Skills Worksheet by teacher of the deaf and speech-language pathologists, review the current literature on speech development in hearing-impaired children, and apply the findings to develop a more comprehensive Speech Skills Worksheet.

Cued speech

This paper discusses cued speech.

Recognition of temporarily modified speech stimuli

This paper studies the relationship between consonant duration and recognition of these consanants by listeners with high frequency hearing loss.

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.

Predicting for the hearing impaired the intelligibility of different kinds of speech materials

This paper discusses a study to define the function relating the scores for hearing impaired listeners on four different speech materials.

The effect of pre-implant puretone thresholds on post-implant speech perception ability in children

This paper studies the effect of residual hearing on post-implant speech perception in children with cochlear implants. The effect of pre-implant auditory experience and the effect of neuronal survival in the implanted ear were investigated.

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.

Conducive hearing loss: its effect on speech perception and language development

This paper discusses the effects of conducive hearing loss on language development.

Open-set speech perception of school-age cochlear implant users

This study examines specific auditory features perceived by profoundly hearing-impaired children using conventional binaural hearing aids and the Nucleus 22 Channel Cochlear Implant. The primary interest of this study was to learn which speech features were most easily perceived by users of each device.

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.

Phoneme analysis of cochlear implant recipients' responses to CNC words using the MPEAK and SPEAK speech coding strategies of the Nucleus cochlear implant system

This paper discusses a study done to determine how cochlear implant users perceive speech sounds using MPEAK or SPEAK speech coding strategy.
