Bone Conduction Transmission And Head‐Shadow Effects For Unilateral Hearing Losses Fit With Transcranial Cic Hearing Aids, Marc A. Fagelson, Colleen Noe, Jennifer Blevins, Owen Murnane Apr 2018

Bone Conduction Transmission And Head‐Shadow Effects For Unilateral Hearing Losses Fit With Transcranial Cic Hearing Aids, Marc A. Fagelson, Colleen Noe, Jennifer Blevins, Owen Murnane

Owen D. Murnane

Bone conduction transmission and head‐shadow effects were determined with transcranial completely‐in‐the‐canal (TCCIC) CROS hearing aids. Five subjects with documented profound unilateral hearing loss and experience with traditional CROS/BICROS fittings (TCROS) were tested with a CIC hearing aid placed in their poorer ear. Peak SPL was measured at the tympanic membrane and ranged from 105–115 dB SPL at 2000 Hz. Pure‐tone crossover thresholds and functional gain tested at frequencies from 250–8000 Hz varied considerably more than the SPL measures. The pure‐tone results indicated that sensitivity in the better ear was moderately associated with functional gain across frequency. Speech recognition was then …


Gap Discrimination And Speech Perception In Noise, Marc A. Fagelson Apr 2018

Gap Discrimination And Speech Perception In Noise, Marc A. Fagelson

Marc A. Fagelson

The relation between discrimination of silent gaps and speech‐in‐noise perception was measured in 20 normal‐hearing listeners using speech‐shaped noise as both the gap markers and the noise source for speech testing. In the gap discrimination experiment, subjects compared silent gaps marked by 60 dB SPL 250‐ms noise bursts to standards of either 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, or 200 ms. The gap results were most similar to those reported by Abel [S. M. Abel, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 52, 519–524 (1972)] as ΔT/T decreased non‐monotonically with increased gap length. In a second experiment, the California Consonant Test (CCT) was administered …

An Investigation Into Supervision Techniques To Support Shy Csd Students, Pamela Reese Mar 2016

An Investigation Into Supervision Techniques To Support Shy Csd Students, Pamela Reese

Pamela Reese

This article investigates supervision techniques that enabled graduate students who labeled themselves as shy to participate in a summer clinical experience. Through detailed analyses, it is shown how peer collaboration, continued modeling, technology, and humor allowed two shy students to successfully complete the experience. The article proposes that these supervision techniques may help students transcend an intrinsic shyness.
