Visual speech perception: a comparison between younger and older adults

This paper examines the visual speech processing abilities of older adults and the age-related effects on speechreading abilities.

The comparison of vestibular functions in hearing and hearing impaired populations

This study investigates possible vestibular dysfunctions in the deaf using a typical clinical assessment battery and discerns whether there is a trend between these disorders in meningitic children as compared to children with unknown origins of deafness.

Investigation of the effect of macrophages and other leukocytes on hair cell regeneration in the avian inner ear

This paper investigates the relationship between hair cell proliferation and immunosuppression in chicks.

Inter-comparisons of articulation tests on normal and hard-of-hearing listeners

This paper discusses a study undertaken to test various speech discrimination tests.

A comparative study of the leisure-time interests and activities of deaf and hearing children

This paper compares play of hearing impaired children and those with normal hearing.

Visual intelligibility of words in isolation and in sentence context

This paper reviews a study to examine the effects on lip reading performance of word position within a sentence.

Memory for articulated sequences and lipreading performance of deaf observers

This paper is a review of a study to determine the relation between lipreading performance and memory for sequences of spoken syllables.

A comparison of physical measurements of pure-tones, third-octave bands of noise and third-octave bands of speech to subjective judgments of audibility threshold, MCL and UCL for three normally hearing listeners

This study investigates the relation between physical measurements of pure-tones, third-octave bands of noise and third-octave bands of speech and subjective judgments of auditory threshold, most-comfortable listening level (MCL) and uncomfortable-listening level (UCL) for three normally hearing listeners.

Structural analysis of narratives produced by normal-hearing and deaf children

This dissertation presents two experiments investigating the structural analysis of narratives produced by normal-hearing and hearing-impaired children. The results suggest that the evaluation of deaf children’s language at a discourse level is both possible and more relevant to academic achievement than traditional assessment procedures that focus on assessing language at a word, phrase or sentence level.

Mainstreaming, inclusion, and the elementary school age hearing impaired student

This paper presents materials for educators and students, grades K-6, about hearing and hearing impairment that will help prepare them for more successful mainstreaming and inclusion of hearing-impaired children.

Latency and slope values of evoked responses in children in brain stem audiometry

This paper is a review of a study to compare latencies of early evoked responses in young children with those of adults.

Input/output measurements of otoacoustic emissions and differential diagnosis of cochlear function

This study provides detailed information on the ability of healthy ears to generate distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs).

A comparison of the performance of aphasoid and non-aphasoid children in learning to discriminate among auditory stimuli

This paper discusses auditory perception differences in aphasic and non-aphasic children

Auditory, visual, and auditory-visual recognition of vowels by hearing-impaired children

This paper studies the auditory, visual and combined audio-visual recognition of vowels by severely and profoundly hearing impaired children.

A technique to train auditory and visual memory for speech patterns in young hearing-impaired children

This paper details a technique for training auditory memory for length of speech sounds in preschool children with a profound hearing loss.
