Auditory speech-discrimination as a function of age and type of audiogram

This paper reviews a study to determine if loss of speech discrimination is related to age and patients with audiograms showing steep high-frequency losses.

Speech intelligibility in noise-induced hearing loss: effects of high-frequency compensation

This dissertation examines the frequency response that results in the maximum level of speech intelligibility for persons with noise-induced hearing loss.

Toward an acoustic vowel metric: listener validation

This paper examines objective measures of speech production, specifically vowels. The relationship between the listener's perception of sections of the vowels with their perception of the entire vocalic utterance was examined.

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.

Effect of amplification bandwidth on intelligibility of several different speech samples for a listener with sensorineural hearing loss

This paper examines the effect of amplification bandwidth on speech intelligibility using multiple speech samples.

Intonation contours vs. syntactic structure as predictors of apparent segmentation

This paper is a review of a study on perception and comprehension of speech using syntactic, visual and acoustic information.

Does systematic instruction in rhythmic movement influence the speech of the deaf

This paper discusses the influence of rhythm in teaching of 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.

Intelligibility of one's own speech relative to the speech of others

This paper reviews a speech intelligibility experiment using the same subjects as both talkers and listeners.

Acoustic phonetics applied to auditory training and the teaching of speech to the hearing impaired

This paper is a review of acoustic phonetics as applied to auditory training for hearing impaired children.

The intelligibility of different kinds of test material used in speech audiometry

This paper discusses several tests used to measure speech intelligibility and speech discrimination.

Approaches for speech development

This paper discusses three approaches to speech development in hearing-impaired children: auditory-verbal, association phoneme unit method, and multi-sensory.

Development of Mandarin speech discrimination test for children

This paper contains a speech discrimation test for hearing impaired children using Mandarin language.

The development of a computerized version of a revised W-1 word list for obtaining speech reception thresholds

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