Peer reviewedRyalls, John; And Others – Volta Review, 1994
The clinical effectiveness of one module of IBM's SpeechViewer system on the speech performance of four profoundly hearing-impaired children was compared with that of four similar children who received traditional speech training. Results indicated no statistically significant differences between the subject groups before and after training,…

Peer reviewedFlexer, Carol; And Others – Volta Review, 1987
Word and sentence recognition scores were used to compare the effectiveness of a typical FM assistive listening device, an inexpensive hardwire unit, and the personal hearing aids of 10 moderately hearing-impaired college students. The FM unit performed significantly better. Moreover, the sheltered classroom listening experience promoted wider use…

Peer reviewedDiefendorf, Allan; Arthur, Deborah – Volta Review, 1987
Evaluation of a program teaching parents to monitor their hearing-impaired preschoolers' hearing aids (through daily visual, listening, and electroacoustic checks) indicated that the proportion of undetected malfunctionings declined; that parents' knowledge of hearing aids increased; and that the aids most frequently failed checks of battery power…

Peer reviewedBusenbark, Lynn; Jenison, Virginia – Volta Review, 1986
Using listening check procedures, only 2 of 21 staff members at a school for the hearing impaired reliably and accurately rated the performance of hearing aids, suggesting that educators of the hearing impaired are inadequately prepared to evaluate hearing aid performance and that a more objective means of assessment is needed.

Peer reviewedPoissant, Sarah F.; Maxon, Antonia Brancia – Volta Review, 2001
Auditory performance of 40 5-year-old children was measured using a speech signal that simulated the amplified signal a child with hearing loss would hear. Subjects were restricted in their access to speech due to the hearing aid, the decreased sensation level (simulated hearing loss) at which they listened, and distance. (Contains references.)…

Peer reviewedWeisenberger, Janet M.; Percy, Mary E. – Volta Review, 1994
This paper discusses basic strategies in providing speech information to deaf individuals via the tactile modality and describes the Tactaid II and Tactaid VII vibrotactile aids employed in the Central Institute for the Deaf Sensory Aids Study. Coding, display, and operation are described for each device. Results from previous studies with both…

Peer reviewedGeers, Ann E.; Tobey, Emily – Volta Review, 1992
This paper reviews recent research and reports on an ongoing longitudinal study concerning effects of cochlear implants, tactile aids, and hearing aids on the development of speech production skills in 18 children and youth with profound hearing impairments. The most improved speech was seen in the subjects with cochlear implants. (DB)
