Efficacy Of The Speech Intelligibility Index As An Intervention Tool With Pediatric Cancer Patients, Megan Cahill Jan 2010

Efficacy Of The Speech Intelligibility Index As An Intervention Tool With Pediatric Cancer Patients, Megan Cahill

Independent Studies and Capstones

This study evaluates the Speech Intelligibility Index (SII) as a tool to describe hearing loss and predict when hearing aids would be appropriate for pediatric oncology patients who have received or are currently receiving cisplatin. The efficacy of the SII is compared to the Brock grade which is commonly used for patients with ototoxic hearing loss secondary to cisplatin treatment. The SII is a discrete measure that precisely reflects the patient’s functional hearing status and is highly correlated with the need for audiologic intervention.

Outcomes Of Conventional Amplification For Pediatric Unilateral Hearing Loss, Lauren A. Wendorf Jan 2010

Outcomes Of Conventional Amplification For Pediatric Unilateral Hearing Loss, Lauren A. Wendorf

Independent Studies and Capstones

Although some children with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) are at-risk for educational difficulties and behavioral problems, research in treatment outcomes for pediatric UHL is limited. The objective of this study was to examine the benefits of a conventional hearing aid in children with mild to moderately severe UHL, using speech perception measures and subjective assessments from the child, parent, and teacher.

Verification Of Computed Tomographic Estimates Of Cochlear Implant Array Position: A Micro-Ct And Histological Analysis, Jessica Teymouri Jan 2010

Verification Of Computed Tomographic Estimates Of Cochlear Implant Array Position: A Micro-Ct And Histological Analysis, Jessica Teymouri

Independent Studies and Capstones

We examine the efficacy two volume spatial registration of pre and postoperative clinical computed tomography (CT) imaging to verify post-operative electrode array placement in cochlear implant (CI) patients. To measure the degree of accuracy with which the composite image predicts in-vivo placement of the array, we replicate the CI surgical process in cadaver heads. Pre-operative, post-operative, micro CT imaging and histology are utilized for verification.

Genetic And Temporal Aspects Of Protection By Kanamycin Against Cochlear Noise Injury, Allyson D. Rosen Jan 2010

Genetic And Temporal Aspects Of Protection By Kanamycin Against Cochlear Noise Injury, Allyson D. Rosen

Independent Studies and Capstones

Experiments explored the minimal kanamycin dosing regimen that renders protection against noise induced hearing loss in young CBA/J mice. We also tested the age-dependence of protection in CBA/J as well as the dependence of protection on a particular genetic background in experiments using young C57BL/6J and CBA/CaJ mice.

Representation Of Cued Speech In Teacher Of The Deaf And Hard Of Hearing Preparation Programs, Aaron Rose Jan 2010

Representation Of Cued Speech In Teacher Of The Deaf And Hard Of Hearing Preparation Programs, Aaron Rose

Independent Studies and Capstones

This descriptive study investigates the representation of Cued Speech in teacher of the deaf preparation programs as well as attitudes towards inclusion of Cued Speech in those programs in the context of the 2004 reauthorization of IDEA. The issue of Cued Speech is discussed as a communication modality and implications for deaf education are presented.

Difference Between Default Telecoil And Programmed Microphone Frequency Response In Behind-The-Ear Hearing Aids, Daniel B. Putterman Jan 2010

Difference Between Default Telecoil And Programmed Microphone Frequency Response In Behind-The-Ear Hearing Aids, Daniel B. Putterman

Independent Studies and Capstones

The notion that the default telecoil (t-coil) frequency response should match the programmed microphone frequency response to provide optimal telephone understanding for hearing aid patients has received little attention. This study addresses differences in the average frequency response of the two transducers in behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids.

Effect Of Unilateral Hearing Loss On The Speech-Evoked Auditory Brainstem Response In The Presence Of Noise, Kristin Elizabeth Musser Jan 2010

Effect Of Unilateral Hearing Loss On The Speech-Evoked Auditory Brainstem Response In The Presence Of Noise, Kristin Elizabeth Musser

Independent Studies and Capstones

Speech-evoked auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) were acquired in quiet and in the presence of noise at two study sessions to investigate 1) test-retest variability and 2) subcortical representation of speech stimuli. Participants were adults with normal hearing in both ears who listened monaurally and adults with unilateral deafness. Results indicate consistency in responses across sessions and several differences between hearing groups for magnitudes of discrete components.

Student Musicians' Perception Of Loudness And How It Correlates To The Measured Level, Amanda Moore Jan 2010

Student Musicians' Perception Of Loudness And How It Correlates To The Measured Level, Amanda Moore

Independent Studies and Capstones

The purpose of this project was to evaluate student musicians’ perception of loudness and see how it relates to the measured sound level when playing an instrument alone and when playing in an orchestra. Perhaps by examining this relationship, strategies can be developed to educate musicians on the risk of excessive noise exposure and hearing protection options.

Temporal Processing In Listeners With Unilateral Hearing Loss, Deborah K. Miller Jan 2010

Temporal Processing In Listeners With Unilateral Hearing Loss, Deborah K. Miller

Independent Studies and Capstones

Temporal processing is examined for sounds delivered to the intact ear of individuals with unilateral hearing, and delivered to one ear of individuals with normal, bilateral hearing. Two temporal processing skills are assessed: 1) the ability to detect sinusoidal amplitude modulation of a wide-band noise, for various modulation frequencies, and 2) the just-noticeable-difference for temporal complexity of random-spectrogram-sounds.

The Effect Of Talker Age And Gender On Speech Perception Of Pediatric Cochlear Implant Users, Jillian B. Levine Jan 2010

The Effect Of Talker Age And Gender On Speech Perception Of Pediatric Cochlear Implant Users, Jillian B. Levine

Independent Studies and Capstones

Most clinically-employed speech materials for testing hearing impaired individuals are recordings made by adult male talkers. The author examined the possible effect of talker age and gender on the speech perception of children through the use of 1) two speech perception tests, each with four talker types (adult males, adult females, 10-12 year olds, 5-7 year olds), and 2) two groups of pediatric listeners: normal-hearing (NH) and cochlear implant users (CI).
