Acoustic Analysis of Stress Contrasts Produced by Hearing-Impaired Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Murphy, Angela La Bruna; And Others – Volta Review, 1990
Acoustic measures and stress judgments were made of spondaic words with alternating syllabic stress produced by three profoundly hearing-impaired adolescents and a hearing control. The data suggested that there are important between-speaker differences in the overall hierarchy of cues adopted to convey lexical stress. (Author/DB)

Description and Evaluation of an Instructional Program to Improve Speech and Voice Diagnosis of the Hearing Impaired.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Subtelny, Joanne D.; And Others – Volta Review, 1980
A rationale for improving speech diagnosis within the hearing impaired population is presented. An instructional program to improve diagnosis is described.

Analysis of Some Non-Articulatory Aspects of the Speech of Hearing-Impaired Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stoker, Richard G.; Lape, William N. – Volta Review, 1980
Sixteen measures thought to be related to the intelligibility of speech of hearing impaired children were examined with 42 deaf children (aged 4 to 19). Results indicated that intelligibility of speech was correlated with several parameters not conventionally used in speech assessment (breath control, suprasegmental perception and production,…

The Relationship between the Perception and the Production of Intonation by Hearing-Impaired Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Most, Tova; Frank, Yael – Volta Review, 1991
Twenty-two hearing-impaired children (ages 9 to 13) with a hearing loss of 80 dB or greater completed 3 tasks of intonation perception and production. Acoustic analysis suggested a relationship between imitation and discrimination of intonation contours and a relationship between imitation and production of orally read sentences when a rising…

Influence of Visual Information on Speech Assessment with Hearing-Impaired Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kricos, Patricia; And Others – Volta Review, 1990
Speech samples from 3 hearing-impaired children (ages 9-11) were videotaped for judgment by 5 teachers in audio-only and audio-video condition. When a teacher evaluated a child's speech using both auditory and visual information, fewer errors were typically noted than if the child's speech was evaluated using only auditory information.
