Eshghi, Marziye; Adatorwovor, Reuben; Preisser, John S.; Crais, Elizabeth R.; Zajac, David J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: This study investigated vocabulary growth from 18 to 24 months of age in young children with repaired cleft palate (CP), children with otitis media, and typically developing (TD) children. In addition, the contributions of factors such as hearing level, middle ear status, size of consonant inventory, maternal education level, and gender…

Abur, Defne; Stepp, Cara E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Given the role of auditory perception in voice production, studies have investigated whether impairments in auditory perception may underlie the noted disruptions in speech in Parkinson's disease (PD). Studies of loudness perception in PD show impairments in the perception of self-generated speech, but not external tones. Studies of pitch…

Myers, Joshua; Kei, Joseph; Aithal, Sreedevi; Aithal, Venkatesh; Driscoll, Carlie; Khan, Asaduzzaman; Manuel, Alehandrea; Joseph, Anjali; Malicka, Alicja N. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a risk prediction model for detecting middle ear pathology in 6- to 9-month-old infants using wideband absorbance measures. Method: Two hundred forty-nine infants aged 23-39 weeks (Mdn = 28 weeks) participated in the study. Distortion product otoacoustic emissions and high-frequency tympanometry were…

Johnson, Dale L.; McCormick, David P.; Baldwin, Constance D. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2008
This study examined the relation of middle ear effusion (MEE) in the first 3 years of life to language outcomes at age seven. It was hypothesized, on the basis of a literature review, that (1) a low, but positive relation between early MEE and language measures in general will be observed at age seven, and (2) major effects will be demonstrated…

Pratt, Sheila R.; Kuller, Lewis; Talbott, Evelyn O.; McHugh-Pemu, Kathleen; Buhari, Alhaji M.; Xu, Xiaohui – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2009
Purpose: The goal of this study was to determine the impact of age, gender, and race on the prevalence and severity of hearing loss in elder adults, aged 72-96 years, after accounting for income, education, smoking, and clinical and subclinical cardiovascular disease. Methods: Air-conduction thresholds for standard and extended high-frequency…

Dahle, Arthur J.; McCollister, Faye P. – American Journal of Mental Deficiency, 1986
Hearing, impedance, and otoscopic examinations were performed on 30 elementary school children with Downs syndrome and 30 children without Downs syndrome matched for CA and IQ. Results indicated that the children with Downs syndrome had a significantly higher prevalence of hearing impairment and otologic disorders. (Author/CL)
