Subjective And Objective Measures Of Adult Bimodal Users' Listening, Roseanna M. Christal Jan 2012

Subjective And Objective Measures Of Adult Bimodal Users' Listening, Roseanna M. Christal

Independent Studies and Capstones

Inconsistencies exist between traditional objective measures such as speech recognition and localization, and subjective reports of bimodal benefit. The purpose of this study was to expand the set of objective measures of bimodal benefit to include non-traditional listening tests, and to examine possible correlations between objective measures of auditory perception and subjective satisfaction reports.

Acceptance Of Earphones In Children 12- To 24-Months Of Age During Visual Reinforcement Audiometry, Allyson Davis Jan 2012

Acceptance Of Earphones In Children 12- To 24-Months Of Age During Visual Reinforcement Audiometry, Allyson Davis

Independent Studies and Capstones

Insert and circumaural earphones were used during visual reinforcement audiometry with children 12-to 24-months of age. Acceptance of earphones was determined by the number of ear specific thresholds obtained and by audiologist subjective ratings. Results indicate that children in this age range accept both types of earphones; however, significantly more ear specific thresholds were obtained using insert earphones compared to circumaural.

Cytomegalovirus: Educational Outcomes And Implications For Newborn Screening, Emily Margaret Humphrey

Independent Studies and Capstones

The focus of this study was to review existing literature and analyze a survey of professional opinion regarding how children with hearing loss caused by congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) function audiologically and educationally. This study proposes a benefit for adding CMV screening to the battery of tests included in the newborn screening protocol to improve educational outcomes of children deafened from CMV.


Cisplatin Ototoxicity And Hair Cell Regeneration In The Zebrafish Lateral Line, Alisa A. Genualdi Jan 2012

Cisplatin Ototoxicity And Hair Cell Regeneration In The Zebrafish Lateral Line, Alisa A. Genualdi

Independent Studies and Capstones

Hair cell death and regeneration on the zebrafish posterior lateral line was investigated after cisplatin administration. Hair cell regeneration was first observed by 24 hours of recovery and was further analyzed after specific recovery intervals. Disruption of the notch signaling pathways by the y-secretase inhibitor DAPT resulted in an increase in hair cells at three days of recovery.

Gaze Stabilization Testing: The Efficiency And Test-Retest Reliability Of User Operated Control Versus The Parameter Estimation (Pest) Algorithm, Michelle E. Hungerford

Independent Studies and Capstones

The primary objective of this research study is to determine which form of testing, the PEST algorithm or an operator-controlled condition is most accurate and time efficient for administration of the gaze stabilization test


Acceptable Noise Levels For Neonates In The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Allysa Jennie Knutson Jan 2012

Acceptable Noise Levels For Neonates In The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Allysa Jennie Knutson

Independent Studies and Capstones

The study was a sound survey of naturally occurring noise in a metropolitan hospital NICU. The collected sound level samples were then compared to the noise standard recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. It was concluded that sound levels in the NICU exceed the standard and the standard does not have a proper foundation.


Evaluation Of Directional Microphone Drift In Digital Hearing Aids, Roxanne Kohilakis Jan 2012

Evaluation Of Directional Microphone Drift In Digital Hearing Aids, Roxanne Kohilakis

Independent Studies and Capstones

The occurrence of directional microphone drift following hearing aid use has been infrequently examined. This study uses the front-to-side ratio to evaluate changes in directional microphone output from new behind-the-ear hearing aids and following approximately three months of hearing aid use. Results indicate no overall significant differences in the front-to-side ratio between initial and follow-up measurements.


An Analysis Of The Use Of Auxiliary Verbs By Deaf Children Using Cochlear Implants, Abigail Lee Meismer Jan 2012

An Analysis Of The Use Of Auxiliary Verbs By Deaf Children Using Cochlear Implants, Abigail Lee Meismer

Independent Studies and Capstones

Spontaneous writing samples of deaf children with cochlear implants were analyzed for auxiliary verb errors. These results were compared to norms of typically developing children.


The Relation Between Speech Recognition In Noise And The Speech-Evoked Brainstem Response In Normal-Hearing And Hearing-Impaired Individuals, Sheli Lipson Jan 2012

The Relation Between Speech Recognition In Noise And The Speech-Evoked Brainstem Response In Normal-Hearing And Hearing-Impaired Individuals, Sheli Lipson

Independent Studies and Capstones

Little is known about the way speech in noise is processed along the auditory pathway. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relation between listening in noise using the R-Space system and the neurophysiologic response of the speech-evoked auditory brainstem when recorded in quiet and noise in adult participants with mild to moderate hearing loss and normal hearing.


The Effect Of An External Auditory Stimulus On Postural Stability Of Participants With Cochlear Implants, Rachael Jeanette Mangiore Jan 2012

The Effect Of An External Auditory Stimulus On Postural Stability Of Participants With Cochlear Implants, Rachael Jeanette Mangiore

Independent Studies and Capstones

Postural control was evaluated in cochlear implant participants with and without amplification under several auditory paradigms. Speed of sway was recorded in each condition by means of Computerized Dynamic Posturography. Results indicate that an external sound source significantly improves balance in patients with cochlear implants.


An Analysis Of Pre-Reading Strategies In Deaf/Hard Of Hearing Students, Haley R. Nealey Jan 2012

An Analysis Of Pre-Reading Strategies In Deaf/Hard Of Hearing Students, Haley R. Nealey

Independent Studies and Capstones

This literature review evaluates print knowledge ability in normally hearing pre-readers with and without specific language impairments. It then discusses implications of print knowledge ability in students who are deaf or hard of hearing and early intervention strategies.

Emotion Perception And Talker Discrimination In Pediatric Hearing Aid Users, Jacklynn Teal Neutz

Independent Studies and Capstones

The primary goal of this study is to examine the ability of pediatric hearing-aid listeners, with mild to moderately-severe hearing loss, to perceive emotion and to discriminate talkers. These listeners’ performance is compared to that of similarly-aged listeners with normal hearing and who use cochlear implants.


Knowledge Of Basic Concepts In Deaf/Hard Of Hearing Children, Lauren Schafer Jan 2012

Knowledge Of Basic Concepts In Deaf/Hard Of Hearing Children, Lauren Schafer

Independent Studies and Capstones

Basic concept knowledge of children who were deaf/hard of hearing was tested using the Bracken Basic Concept Scale: 3rd Edition. These children were given both the receptive and expressive portions of the test. Results indicate delays in overall basic concept knowledge in children who are deaf compared to their normal-hearing peers.
