Chin, Steven B.; Finnegan, Kevin R.
Volta Review, v102 n4 p157-74 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). (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
