Teaching Vowels to Profoundly Hearing-Impaired Speakers Using Glossometry.
Fletcher, Samuel G.; And Others
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v34 n4 p943-56 Aug 1991
Glossometry, a method of providing visual feedback of tongue positions, was used to teach four vowel sounds to six profoundly hearing-impaired children. After 15 to 20 50-minute training sessions, all subjects showed greater diversification of tongue postures for the vowels. Listener identifications were also generally better after therapy.
