de Paz, Carlos; Travieso, David – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
Sensory substitution devices (SSDs) facilitate the detection of environmental information through enhancement of touch and/or hearing capabilities. Research has demonstrated that several tasks can be successfully completed using acoustic, vibrotactile, and multimodal devices. The suitability of a substituting modality is also mediated by the type…

Lauren Mathews; Erin C. Schafer; Kamakshi V. Gopal; Boji Lam; Sharon Miller – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2024
Purpose: Individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often exhibit auditory processing issues, including poor speech recognition in background noise and dichotic processing (integration of different stimuli presented to the two ears). Auditory training could mitigate these auditory difficulties. However, few auditory training…

Reinhart, Paul; Griffin, Kendra; Micheyl, Christophe – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The aim of the study was to investigate changes in autonomic function, as measured by heart rate variability, in individuals with tinnitus following acoustic therapy implemented using tinnitus maskers presented via hearing aids. Method: Twenty-six individuals with tinnitus and hearing impairment completed an 8-week field trial wearing…

Meerschman, Iris; Lierde, Kristiane; Ketels, Julie; Coppieters, Charlotte; Claeys, Sofie; D'haeseleer, Evelien – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2019
Background: To date, the immediate effects of a semi-occluded vocal tract (SOVT) configuration have been thoroughly demonstrated. However, it is not yet sufficiently confirmed whether a therapy programme (i.e. longer than one session) using SOVT exercises leads to an enhanced phonation and improved vocal quality. Aims: The aim of this study was to…

Zhang, Hao; Zhang, Jing; Peng, Gang; Ding, Hongwei; Zhang, Yang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Pitch reception poses challenges for individuals with cochlear implants (CIs), and adding a hearing aid (HA) in the nonimplanted ear is potentially beneficial. The current study used fine-scale synthetic speech stimuli to investigate the bimodal benefit for lexical tone categorization in Mandarin-speaking kindergarteners using a CI and an…

Estrella-Castillo, Damaris F.; Rubio-Zapata, Héctor; Gómez-de-Regil, Lizzette – Child Language Teaching and Therapy, 2021
Profound hearing loss can have serious and irreversible consequences for oral language development in children, affecting spoken and written language acquisition. Auditory-verbal therapy has been widely applied to children with hearing loss with promising results, mainly in developed countries where cochlear implants are available. An evaluation…

Kulawiak, Pawel R. – Cogent Education, 2021
Classroom noise impairs students' cognition and learning. At a first glance, it seems useful to prevent the negative effects of noise on academic learning by wearing noise-cancelling (NC) headphones during class. The literature and guidelines emphasize the academic benefits of wearing NC headphones (decreased auditory distraction, increased…

Gillespie, Amanda I.; Yabes, Jonathan; Rosen, Clark A.; Gartner-Schmidt, Jackie L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Conversation training therapy (CTT) is the 1st voice therapy approach to eliminate the traditional therapeutic hierarchy and use patient-driven conversation as the sole therapeutic stimulus. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the efficacy of CTT compared to standard-of-care voice therapy approaches for the treatment of…

Schoen, Sarah A.; Miller, Lucy J.; Sullivan, Jillian – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2015
This pilot study explored the effects of Integrated Listening Systems (iLs) Focus Series on individualized parent goals for children with sensory processing impairments. A nonconcurrent multiple baseline, repeated measure across participants, single-case study design was employed (n = 7). The 40-session intervention was delivered at home and in…

Shafiro, Valeriy; Sheft, Stanley; Kuvadia, Sejal; Gygi, Brian – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2015
Purpose: The study investigated the effect of a short computer-based environmental sound training regimen on the perception of environmental sounds and speech in experienced cochlear implant (CI) patients. Method: Fourteen CI patients with the average of 5 years of CI experience participated. The protocol consisted of 2 pretests, 1 week apart,…

Mahler, Leslie A.; Ramig, Lorraine O. – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2012
This study investigated the impact of a well-defined behavioral dysarthria treatment on acoustic and perceptual measures of speech in four adults with dysarthria secondary to stroke. A single-subject A-B-A experimental design was used to measure the effects of the Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT[R]LOUD) on the speech of individual…

Betebenner, Elizabeth Whytlaw – ProQuest LLC, 2011
This study was designed to address the result using sound enhancement technology in classrooms as a method of enhancing the auditory experience for students seated in the rear sections of classrooms. Previous research demonstrated the efficacy of using sound distribution systems (SDS) in real time to enhance speech perception (Anderson &…

Riley, Kristine Marie Grohne – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Previous research demonstrates enhanced speech perception abilities for typically hearing and hearing-impaired listeners when speakers use clear versus plain speech, particularly in the presence of background noise. To date, very few studies have investigated the effects of noise on word learning and no studies have examined the effects of clear…

Sweeney, Triona; Sell, Debbie – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2008
Background: Nasometry has supplemented perceptual assessments of nasality, using speech stimuli, which are devoid of nasal consonants. However, such speech stimuli are not representative of conversational speech. A weak relationship has been found in previous studies between perceptual ratings of hypernasality and nasalance scores for passages…
