Use Of Hearing Protection In Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Patients: A Systematic Review Of The Evidence, Nathalie Chouery, Kathleen T. Dunckley
Use Of Hearing Protection In Neonatal Intensive Care Unit Patients: A Systematic Review Of The Evidence, Nathalie Chouery, Kathleen T. Dunckley
Journal of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention
Neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) settings present neonates with many environmental hazards, including exposure to dangerous sound intensity levels. Noise levels in NICUs worldwide overwhelmingly exceed the recommendations for safe exposure by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Environmental modifications and staff behavioral changes have proved ineffective to sufficiently reduce infant noise exposure. A systematic review of the literature was undertaken to answer if earmuffs improves physiologic stability, behavioral response, and sleep behavior, which are markers of stress response in NICU patients. Seven databases were searched for pertinent records using a specific search protocol. Seven studies met the review’s inclusion criteria …
Self-Stigma And Its Associations With Stress, Physical Health, And Health Care Satisfaction In Adults Who Stutter, Michael Boyle, Alison N. Fearon
Self-Stigma And Its Associations With Stress, Physical Health, And Health Care Satisfaction In Adults Who Stutter, Michael Boyle, Alison N. Fearon
Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify potential relationships between self-stigma (stigma awareness and stigma application) and stress, physical health, and health care satisfaction among a large sample of adults who stutter. It was hypothesized that both stigma awareness and stigma application would be inversely related to measures of physical health and health care satisfaction, and positively related to stress. Furthermore, it was anticipated that stress mediated the relationship between self-stigma and physical health. Method: A sample of adults who stutter in the United States (n = 397) completed a web survey that assessed levels of stigma awareness …
Costs Of Hearing Loss Relating To Listening Effort, Fatigue, And Stress, Nicole Garrett, Scott E. Seeman Phd
Costs Of Hearing Loss Relating To Listening Effort, Fatigue, And Stress, Nicole Garrett, Scott E. Seeman Phd
AuD Capstone Projects - Communication Sciences and Disorders
There are many known negative impacts of hearing loss including difficulty communicating, especially in noise, avoidance or withdrawal from social situations, social rejection, strain on relationships with family members and friends, emotional effects, including anxiety, depression, and a decline in self-esteem and confidence. While a large amount of research exists regarding the financial, social, and physical costs of hearing loss, the relationship between hearing loss and listening effort, fatigue, and stress are not as well understood. The aim of this paper is to review research regarding the interrelationship of listening of listening effort, stress, and fatigue, as well as a …
The Role Of Stress In The Differential Diagnosis Of Apraxia Of Speech And Aphasia, Jennifer G. Ferranti
The Role Of Stress In The Differential Diagnosis Of Apraxia Of Speech And Aphasia, Jennifer G. Ferranti
Honors Undergraduate Theses
The intent of this thesis is to explore and develop the quantification of AOS features, particularly the deficits of prosodic elements, lexical stress and duration. This study investigated whether PVI can be used as a sensitive tool for the differential diagnosis of AOS. Specifically, we sought to determine whether analysis of vowel length of stressed and unstressed syllables is helpful in differentiating between individuals with AOS and aphasia versus aphasia alone. Significant differences support the hypothesis that PVI, analyzed from vowel length, is uniquely affected in AOS. This yields reason for further research in prosodic deficits in differential diagnosis, as …
