Average Annual Reading Growth Rate Progress Of Children Who Are Deaf, Use A Cochlear Implant And Attend An Auditory-Oral School, Robyn Kirk
Independent Studies and Capstones
Reading growth rate averages were established for children who are deaf, have a unilateral cochlear implant and attend an auditory-oral school.
The Influence Of Siblings On The Development Of Social Skills In Children Who Are Deaf Or Hard Of Hearing, Lindsay Poole
The Influence Of Siblings On The Development Of Social Skills In Children Who Are Deaf Or Hard Of Hearing, Lindsay Poole
Independent Studies and Capstones
A study observing the influence of siblings or lack thereof, birth order and vocabulary skills on social skills of adolescent cochlear implant recipients using ratings from their parents.
Predicting Music Enjoyment In Cochlear Implant Users, Rose Bradley
Predicting Music Enjoyment In Cochlear Implant Users, Rose Bradley
Independent Studies and Capstones
Most cochlear implant (CI) users perceive music poorly. Little is known, however, about the musical enjoyment received by CI users. The author examined possible relationships between musical enjoyment and music perception tasks through the use of 1) multiple musical tests, and 2) two groups of listeners: normal-hearing (NH) listeners with a CI-simulation and actual CI users. The two groups’ performances are compared to determine whether NH participants listening to music via CI-simulation software are a good model for actual CI users for perceiving music.
Role Of Alpha Synuclein In Noise Induced Hearing Loss, Melissa Mooney
Role Of Alpha Synuclein In Noise Induced Hearing Loss, Melissa Mooney
Independent Studies and Capstones
The recent discovery of the contribution of alpha synuclein in the auditory system prompted further investigation of its functional role. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) and gap detection testing were completed on wild-type and transgenic M83 mice to assess the role of alpha synuclein in noise-induced hearing loss and central auditory function.
Development Of A Simple Index To Predict Benefit And Satisfaction From Amplification, Katie Niehl
Development Of A Simple Index To Predict Benefit And Satisfaction From Amplification, Katie Niehl
Independent Studies and Capstones
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of non-audiological patient-based variables; amount of bother, importance of improved hearing, and expectations, as reliable predictors of benefit and satisfaction from amplification. Study findings were then used to develop two initial prognostic indices.
Marginal Cell Density In Young And Old Cba/J And Cba/Caj Mice, Ashley Dahl
Marginal Cell Density In Young And Old Cba/J And Cba/Caj Mice, Ashley Dahl
Independent Studies and Capstones
The goal of the present study was to compare aging characteristics of the cochlear lateral wall in inbred mouse strains (CBA/J and CBA/CaJ) having very different endocochlear potential (EP)-versus-age profiles to see which anatomic differences might predict their EP differences.
Optimal Dose Of Kanamycin For Protection From Noise Induced Hearing Loss, Mary Elizabeth Rybak Rice
Optimal Dose Of Kanamycin For Protection From Noise Induced Hearing Loss, Mary Elizabeth Rybak Rice
Independent Studies and Capstones
Young CBA/J mice were injected with kanamycin under varying schedules then exposed to noise in order to determine the boundary conditions for cochlear protection against noise.
Utilizing Hearing Assistive Technology (Hat) To Assess Speech Recognition: Comparison Of Word Recognition Scores Obtained By Hearing Instrument Users, Stephanie Schutzenhofer
Utilizing Hearing Assistive Technology (Hat) To Assess Speech Recognition: Comparison Of Word Recognition Scores Obtained By Hearing Instrument Users, Stephanie Schutzenhofer
Independent Studies and Capstones
The ability for individuals with hearing loss to accurately recognize correct versus incorrect verbal responses during traditional word recognition testing across four different listening conditions was assessed.
Autonomic Dysfunction In Patients With Migrane Associated Dizziness (Mad), Lauren Tegel
Autonomic Dysfunction In Patients With Migrane Associated Dizziness (Mad), Lauren Tegel
Independent Studies and Capstones
The goal of this project is to identify what effect vestibular stimulation has on the reaction of the autonomic nervous system, as measured by blood pressure, blood-oxygen saturation levels, and heart rate monitoring, on subjects with migraine associated dizziness (MAD) as compared to healthy non-MAD subjects.
