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.

Effect Of Stimulus Intensity On Cortical Potentials In Cochlear Implant Recipients, Laura Jean Czarniak Jan 2011

Effect Of Stimulus Intensity On Cortical Potentials In Cochlear Implant Recipients, Laura Jean Czarniak

Independent Studies and Capstones

Cortical auditory evoked potentials were recorded in cochlear implant recipients and in individuals with normal hearing using a speech stimulus. Responses were acquired over two test sessions to investigate between group differences and test repeatability. Results indicate significant differences in N1-P2 latency and amplitude measures between cochlear implant recipients and individuals with normal hearing.


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.


Broadening Our Scope: Supporting The Need For Oral Deaf Educators In Rural Communities, Christy Suzanne Adkins Jan 2011

Broadening Our Scope: Supporting The Need For Oral Deaf Educators In Rural Communities, Christy Suzanne Adkins

Independent Studies and Capstones

This paper supports the need for oral deaf educators in rural communities and their importance in the education of children who are deaf and hard of hearing.


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 …


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.

Cellular Signals Of Cisplatin Ototoxicity, Lindsey M. Yarnell Jan 2011

Cellular Signals Of Cisplatin Ototoxicity, Lindsey M. Yarnell

Independent Studies and Capstones

Three separate theories of inhibiting cisplatin-induced apoptosis were investigated utilizing different cellular mechanisms. Specifically, the copper transport cycle, TRPV1, and the JNK pathway were inhibited and immunohistochemistry was performed to determine levels of apoptosis. All three resulted in statistically significant effects; increasing CuSO4 levels resulted in increased apoptosis, and inhibiting TRPV1
