The Importance Of Addressing Stress In Parents Of Hearing Impaired Children, Sara Renee Nolte

Independent Studies and Capstones

The focus of this study was to provide a summary of the existing literature concerning parental stress. The goal of highlighting factors that contribute to increased stress levels and the effects of stress on parents and children was to provide deaf educators with an understanding of parental stress and insight into the need for programs that minimize stress.


Efficacy Of A Combined Drug Therapy For Ameliorating Noise-Induced Hearing Loss, Randi Lynn Luxmore Jan 2011

Efficacy Of A Combined Drug Therapy For Ameliorating Noise-Induced Hearing Loss, Randi Lynn Luxmore

Independent Studies and Capstones

Experiments investigated the median effective dose of antiepileptic drugs and synthetic glucocorticoids for the prevention and treatment of noise-induced hearing loss for C57BL/6J mice. We also tested the possible synergistic effects of combining drugs from the two drug families.


Evaluation Of Multiple Speech Processing Combinations In The Cochlear Nucleus 5 Cochlear Implant System Using R-Space Simulation, Kelly A. Kolb Jan 2011

Evaluation Of Multiple Speech Processing Combinations In The Cochlear Nucleus 5 Cochlear Implant System Using R-Space Simulation, Kelly A. Kolb

Independent Studies and Capstones

Difficulty understanding speech in the presence of background noise is a common report among cochlear implant recipients. The purpose of this research is to evaluate speech processing options currently available in the Cochlear Nucleus 5 sound processor to determine the best option for improving speech recognition in noise.

Deaf Identity Among Alumni Of Option Schools In The U.S., Sara Jean Johnson

Independent Studies and Capstones

This descriptive study surveys deaf identity of alumni of Option schools in the United States. The issue of deaf identity is addressed and the importance of deaf role models in Option schools is presented.


Evaluation Of Noise Levels Experienced By Medically Fragile Neonates During Emergency Helicopter Transport, Jennifer Lynn Johnson Jan 2011

Evaluation Of Noise Levels Experienced By Medically Fragile Neonates During Emergency Helicopter Transport, Jennifer Lynn Johnson

Independent Studies and Capstones

There was a concern medically fragile infants may be exposed to high noise levels during emergency helicopter transport. This study had been initiated in 2007. Data was collected using a Larson Davis noise dosimeter. The purpose of this study was to collect additional data to evaluate the noise exposure experienced by medically fragile neonates during emergency transport via helicopter inbound/outbound of St. Louis Children’s Hospital, St. Louis, MO. The results suggested neonates may be exposed to noise levels ranging 85 to 95 dBA during transport. These high noise exposures may pose a risk to hearing.

An Analysis Of The Effect Of Audiologic Management On A Newborn Hearing Screening Program's Refer And Loss To Follow-Up Rates, Megan M. Hornof

Independent Studies and Capstones

This study includes an exhaustive review of the literature related to universal newborn hearing screening and loss to follow-up. It examines refer and follow-up rates in Missouri and highlights three successful newborn hearing screening programs under the same audiologic management.


A Review Of Research On Working Memory And Its Importance In Education Of The Deaf, Lauren A. Harden Jan 2011

A Review Of Research On Working Memory And Its Importance In Education Of The Deaf, Lauren A. Harden

Independent Studies and Capstones

This independent study provides an overview of working memory as it pertains to deaf and hard of hearing students.


Evaluation Of Auditory-Visual Speech Perception In Individuals Diagnosed With Dementia Of The Alzheimer's Type, Alyse Paige Firtel Jan 2011

Evaluation Of Auditory-Visual Speech Perception In Individuals Diagnosed With Dementia Of The Alzheimer's Type, Alyse Paige Firtel

Independent Studies and Capstones

Auditory-visual speech perception testing was completed using wordand
consonant-level stimuli in individuals with known degrees of dementia of the
Alzheimer’s type. The correlations with the cognitive measures and the speech
perception measures (A-only, V-only, AV, VE or AE) did not reveal significant
relationships.


Interactions Of Alpha And Beta Synuclein Proteins In Auditory Functioning, Sarah Jane Carls Jan 2011

Interactions Of Alpha And Beta Synuclein Proteins In Auditory Functioning, Sarah Jane Carls

Independent Studies and Capstones

Alpha-synuclein is found in synaptic terminals at the base of both inner and outer hair cells, while the beta isoform is prominently localized to spiral ganglion neuron cell bodies. The present study assessed the role of beta-synuclein in auditory function, and potential interactions between isoforms.


Research On Theory Of Mind In Deaf Education, Ashley Beauchemin Jan 2011

Research On Theory Of Mind In Deaf Education, Ashley Beauchemin

Independent Studies and Capstones

Prior research has shown that theory of mind (ToM) development is delayed in children who are deaf and hard of hearing. Although research has demonstrated a delay in ToM development in children who are deaf and hard of hearing there are not many suggestions for how ToM is or should be addressed in deaf education. The current research addressed this issue by compiling an extensive literature review and sending 113 surveys’ to OPTION schools for the deaf around the country.

The Effect Of Talker Age And Gender On Speech Perception Of Pediatric Hearing Aid Users, Elizabeth J. Robinson Jan 2011

The Effect Of Talker Age And Gender On Speech Perception Of Pediatric Hearing Aid Users, Elizabeth J. Robinson

Independent Studies and Capstones

Even though pediatric hearing aid (HA) users listen most often to female talkers, clinically-used speech tests primarily consist of adult male talkers' speech. Potential effects of age and/or gender of the talker on speech perception of pediatric HA users were examined using two speech tests, hVd-vowel identification and CNC word recognition, and using speech materials spoken by four talker types (adult males, adult females, 10-12 year old girls, and 5-7 year old girls). For the nine pediatric HA users tested, word scores for the male talker's speech were higher than those for the female talkers, indicating that talker type can …
