Role Of Alpha Synuclein In Noise Induced Hearing Loss, Melissa Mooney Jan 2009

Role Of Alpha Synuclein In Noise Induced Hearing Loss, Melissa Mooney

Independent Studies and Capstones

The recent discovery of the contribution of alpha synuclein in the auditory system prompted further investigation of its functional role. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) and gap detection testing were completed on wild-type and transgenic M83 mice to assess the role of alpha synuclein in noise-induced hearing loss and central auditory function.

Evaluation Of The Effectiveness Of Using Dvds To Elicit Language For Children Who Are Deaf Or Hard Of Hearing, Robyn Mortenson

Independent Studies and Capstones

This study examines the effectiveness of utilizing a DVD software program to teach specific language structures to children who are deaf or hard of hearing. This study includes a literary review of previous studies that evaluated the effectiveness of using technology to teach language to children who exhibited language delays.


Optimal Dose Of Kanamycin For Protection From Noise Induced Hearing Loss, Mary Elizabeth Rybak Rice Jan 2009

Optimal Dose Of Kanamycin For Protection From Noise Induced Hearing Loss, Mary Elizabeth Rybak Rice

Independent Studies and Capstones

Young CBA/J mice were injected with kanamycin under varying schedules then exposed to noise in order to determine the boundary conditions for cochlear protection against noise.


Marginal Cell Density In Young And Old Cba/J And Cba/Caj Mice, Ashley Dahl Jan 2009

Marginal Cell Density In Young And Old Cba/J And Cba/Caj Mice, Ashley Dahl

Independent Studies and Capstones

The goal of the present study was to compare aging characteristics of the cochlear lateral wall in inbred mouse strains (CBA/J and CBA/CaJ) having very different endocochlear potential (EP)-versus-age profiles to see which anatomic differences might predict their EP differences.


Utilizing Hearing Assistive Technology (Hat) To Assess Speech Recognition: Comparison Of Word Recognition Scores Obtained By Hearing Instrument Users, Stephanie Schutzenhofer Jan 2009

Utilizing Hearing Assistive Technology (Hat) To Assess Speech Recognition: Comparison Of Word Recognition Scores Obtained By Hearing Instrument Users, Stephanie Schutzenhofer

Independent Studies and Capstones

The ability for individuals with hearing loss to accurately recognize correct versus incorrect verbal responses during traditional word recognition testing across four different listening conditions was assessed.


Recognizing Emotion In Illustrations And Photographs: Comparing Responses Of Children Who Are Deaf Or Hard Of Hearing With Those Of Children With Normal Hearing, Sarah Sisk Jan 2009

Recognizing Emotion In Illustrations And Photographs: Comparing Responses Of Children Who Are Deaf Or Hard Of Hearing With Those Of Children With Normal Hearing, Sarah Sisk

Independent Studies and Capstones

Recognizing emotions are something children do everyday, whether it is identifying that mom is sad because she lost her job or that a character in a story is mad because no one will listen to him. The purpose of this study is to find out if recognizing emotions is easier to do with realistic photographs or illustrations.


Autonomic Dysfunction In Patients With Migrane Associated Dizziness (Mad), Lauren Tegel Jan 2009

Autonomic Dysfunction In Patients With Migrane Associated Dizziness (Mad), Lauren Tegel

Independent Studies and Capstones

The goal of this project is to identify what effect vestibular stimulation has on the reaction of the autonomic nervous system, as measured by blood pressure, blood-oxygen saturation levels, and heart rate monitoring, on subjects with migraine associated dizziness (MAD) as compared to healthy non-MAD subjects.


Efficacy Of 1000 Hz Tympanometry In Infants Birth To 4 Months Of Age: A Follow Up Study, Jamie Glater Jan 2009

Efficacy Of 1000 Hz Tympanometry In Infants Birth To 4 Months Of Age: A Follow Up Study, Jamie Glater

Independent Studies and Capstones

Interpretation of 1000 Hz tympanometry is not standardized. Several compensated and uncompensated measures were analyzed and compared to otologic findings. Results of auditory brainstem testing and otoacoustic emissions were considered to better obtain middle ear status. Findings were inconclusive due to small sample size.


Immunohistochemistry Of Synergistic Effects Of Kanamycin And Furosemide In The Murine Model, Katherine Gorton Jan 2009

Immunohistochemistry Of Synergistic Effects Of Kanamycin And Furosemide In The Murine Model, Katherine Gorton

Independent Studies and Capstones

Adult CBA/CaJ mice were injected with large single dose of both kanamycin and furosemide in order to study hair cell lesion and macrophage recruitment within the cochlea.


Evaluating The Efficacy Of Monaural Vs. Binaural Fm Fittings In Children With Auditory Processing Disorders, Kristen Haider Jan 2009

Evaluating The Efficacy Of Monaural Vs. Binaural Fm Fittings In Children With Auditory Processing Disorders, Kristen Haider

Independent Studies and Capstones

The purpose of this project was to determine whether a monaural FM or binaural FM fitting strategy is more appropriate for children with Auditory Processing Disorders.

Effectiveness Of Visual Feedback Provided By An Electromagnetic Articulograph (Ema) System: Training Vowel Production In Individuals With Hearing Impairment, Rachel Bock Jan 2009

Effectiveness Of Visual Feedback Provided By An Electromagnetic Articulograph (Ema) System: Training Vowel Production In Individuals With Hearing Impairment, Rachel Bock

Independent Studies and Capstones

An electromagnetic articulograph (EMA) system was used to provide a participant with congenital hearing loss visual biofeedback information on speech production. Five normally hearing listeners reported a change in their perception of the speech sound /æ/ in the various conditions of the study.


Velocity Discrimination Of Angular Motion At Different Frequencies In Individuals With Normal Vestibular Function, Brittany Nguyen Jan 2009

Velocity Discrimination Of Angular Motion At Different Frequencies In Individuals With Normal Vestibular Function, Brittany Nguyen

Independent Studies and Capstones

The purpose of this study was to evaluate discrimination of angular velocity in individuals with normal vestibular function using a newly developed adaptive psychophysical measure. Vestibular psychophysical testing may complement existing clinical measures in diagnosing and treating patients with imbalance.
