The Effect Of Rate On Tone Burst Extratympanic Electrocochleography In Adults With Normal Hearing, Alana E. Kennedy
The Effect Of Rate On Tone Burst Extratympanic Electrocochleography In Adults With Normal Hearing, Alana E. Kennedy
MSU Graduate Theses
The recording of electrocochleography (ECochG) to tone burst stimuli with a high rate is hypothesized to provide advantages over standard click ECochG with slow rate. Specifically, the use of tone burst stimuli presented at a high rate may enhance the summating potential (SP) while also reducing neural contributions in the response. To allow for the analysis of the complex ECochG responses to high rates, the Continuous Loop Averaging Deconvolution (CLAD) technique was employed to deconvolve the responses. This study examined the effect of high rate and stimulus duration on the SP amplitude of tone burst extratympanic ECochG in 20 adult …
A Multi-Generational Deaf Family: A Case Study On Literacy, Rubecca Sue Wilson
A Multi-Generational Deaf Family: A Case Study On Literacy, Rubecca Sue Wilson
MSU Graduate Theses
Literacy is a crucial component of life in our society, and the journey to becoming fluent readers begins before conventional classroom instruction. Literacy rates of adults who are deaf and hard of hearing are consistently in the fourth grade, age nine to ten years, range. In order to help build more skilled readers who are deaf and hard of hearing, it is critical to increase understanding of how deafness affects the development of literacy. This case study was of a family of six with all members' deaf and American Sign Language (ASL) as their first language. The purpose of this …
The Effect Of Wideband And Narrowband Noise On The Olivocochlear Bundle And The Cochlear Microphonic, Catherine Nicole Palmietto
The Effect Of Wideband And Narrowband Noise On The Olivocochlear Bundle And The Cochlear Microphonic, Catherine Nicole Palmietto
MSU Graduate Theses
In humans, activation of the olivocochlear bundle (OCB) can have a suppression or enhancement effect on cochlear processes. This phenomenon was studied via OCB activation effects on otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). However, it has been suggested that cochlear microphonics (CMs) can provide better, more detailed information regarding OCB function. In the present study, 22 normal hearing female subjects between the ages of 18-30 were recruited and the OCB was examined via the recording of CMs under changes in three conditions: OCB activating noise, stimulus polarity and stimulus frequency. Specifically, the present study examines the effects of activating wideband noise and narrowband …
Effects Of Sleep Deprivation With 110-Minute Rest Period On Postural Control In Young Adults, Whitney L. Hayden
Effects Of Sleep Deprivation With 110-Minute Rest Period On Postural Control In Young Adults, Whitney L. Hayden
MSU Graduate Theses
Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) is used by many different professionals as an objective tool to measure different aspects of postural control. For audiologists, CDP is used to assess the vestibular system and its interactions with the somatosensory and visual systems. There is evidence that postural control is negatively affected by sleep deprivation. To date, there is limited knowledge on whether a 110-minute rest period will improve or even restore postural control abilities back to baseline. The present study was designed to further study the effects of sleep deprivation on different aspects of postural control and to examine the effectiveness of …
Factors Impacting A Community Based Poverty Project: An Analysis Of The Effectiveness Of Communication Through A Case Study Approach, Miranda Kay Wickam
Factors Impacting A Community Based Poverty Project: An Analysis Of The Effectiveness Of Communication Through A Case Study Approach, Miranda Kay Wickam
MSU Graduate Theses
Parental involvement has been related to higher student achievement. While the professional literature provides exemplars of effective communication strategies between home and school, the impact of factors such as cultural and economic diversity and the efficacy of specific approaches remains an important area of inquiry. The purpose of this study was to investigate the various communication strategies used within a community driven development (CDD) project in an economically depressed zone in a metropolitan city in the Midwest. Focus groups, interviews, and a project report were the data points. An a priori coding system of two present themes, opportunities and barriers, …
