Children's Consonant Inventories after Extended Cochlear Implant Use.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chin, Steven B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2003
This paper presents qualitative descriptions of the consonant inventories of 12 children who have used cochlear implants for at least five years, as well as descriptions of sound correspondences between children's systems and the ambient language (English). Qualitative differences were found between the inventories of oral communication users and…

Aspects of Stop Consonant Production by Pediatric Users of Cochlear Implants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chin, Steven B. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2002
Analysis of stop consonant production by 12 children (ages 6-12) who have used cochlear implants for at least 5 years indicates children's stop inventories differed from English mainly in having additional, non-English stops. Total communication users had fewer ambient stops and more nonambient ones that did oral communication users. (Contains…

Measurement of Articulation in Pediatric Users of Cochlear Implants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chin, Steven B.; Kaiser, Cara Lento – Volta Review, 2000
A study involving 20 children (ages 4-9) using cochlear implants compared the articulation of those who used oral communication only (n=10) and those who used total communication (TC). Results from the Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation indicate those using only oral communication committed significantly fewer errors than TC users. (Contains…

Consonant Cluster Production by Pediatric Users of Cochlear Implants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Chin, Steven B.; Finnegan, Kevin R. – Volta Review, 2000
Production of 19 word-initial two-segment consonant clusters was examined in 12 children (ages 6-16) with cochlear implants, including 6 using oral communication and 6 using total communication. Results showed that 48% of the clusters were correctly produced (75% correct for oral communication users and 21% correct for total communication users).…

Speech Intelligibility of Profoundly Deaf Pediatric Hearing Aid Users.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Svirsky, Mario A.; Chin, Steven B.; Miyamoto, Richard T.; Sloan, Robert B.; Caldwell, Matthew D. – Volta Review, 2000
A study examined the speech intelligibility of children (ages 1-15) with deafness who use hearing aids. Data revealed a strong significant trend toward higher intelligibility for children with more residual hearing, and a significant trend toward higher intelligibility for users of oral communication than those using total communication. (Contains…
