Stop Consonant Closure Durations for Normal-Hearing and Hearing-Impaired Speakers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Whitehead, Robert L. – Volta Review, 1991
This study of 60 young adults found that longer closure durations occurred in initial stop consonants compared with medial stops, and in bilabial stops compared with lingua-alveolar stops. Semi-intelligible hearing-impaired speakers produced stop consonants with longer closure durations than hearing young adults and hearing-impaired young adults…

Small Group versus Individual Speech Therapy with Hearing-Impaired Young Adults.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Albertini, John A.; And Others – Volta Review, 1983
The relative effectiveness of individual speech therapy (8 students) versus small group therapy (18 students) was evaluated with hearing impaired young adults who had articulation problems. Articulation skill mastery, improvement in speech intelligibility, and quantity and type of utterances were examined. Only quantity of utterances distinguished…

Visual Articulatory Training through Dynamic Orometry.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fletcher, Samuel G. – Volta Review, 1989
The paper describes dynamic orometric instrumentation and procedures developed to measure, display, and guide changes in vowel and consonant production through visual articulatory modeling and feedback routines. Sensors are placed in the mouth to detect tongue shapes, positions, and actions during speech of hearing-impaired talkers, and online…

Measurement of Articulation in Pediatric Users of Cochlear Implants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chin, Steven B.; Kaiser, Cara Lento – Volta Review, 2000
A study involving 20 children (ages 4-9) using cochlear implants compared the articulation of those who used oral communication only (n=10) and those who used total communication (TC). Results from the Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation indicate those using only oral communication committed significantly fewer errors than TC users. (Contains…

Consonant Cluster Production by Pediatric Users of Cochlear Implants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chin, Steven B.; Finnegan, Kevin R. – Volta Review, 2000
Production of 19 word-initial two-segment consonant clusters was examined in 12 children (ages 6-16) with cochlear implants, including 6 using oral communication and 6 using total communication. Results showed that 48% of the clusters were correctly produced (75% correct for oral communication users and 21% correct for total communication users).…

Speech Intelligibility of Profoundly Deaf Pediatric Hearing Aid Users.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Svirsky, Mario A.; Chin, Steven B.; Miyamoto, Richard T.; Sloan, Robert B.; Caldwell, Matthew D. – Volta Review, 2000
A study examined the speech intelligibility of children (ages 1-15) with deafness who use hearing aids. Data revealed a strong significant trend toward higher intelligibility for children with more residual hearing, and a significant trend toward higher intelligibility for users of oral communication than those using total communication. (Contains…
