Aronoff, Justin M.; Duitsman, Leah; Matusik, Deanna K.; Hussain, Senad; Lippmann, Elise – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Audiology clinics have a need for a nonlinguistic test for assessing speech scores for patients using hearing aids or cochlear implants. One such test, the Spectral-Temporally Modulated Ripple Test Lite for computeRless Measurement (SLRM), has been developed for use in clinics, but it, as well as the related Spectral-Temporally Modulated…

Gustafson, Samantha J.; Ricketts, Todd A.; Picou, Erin M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study sought to evaluate the effects of common hearing aid microphone technologies on speech recognition and listening effort, and to evaluate potential predictive factors related to microphone benefits for school-age children with hearing loss in a realistic listening situation. Method: Children (n = 17, ages 10-17 years) with…

Luo, Xin; Kolberg, Courtney; Pulling, Kathryn R.; Azuma, Tamiko – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of aging and cochlear implant (CI) on psychoacoustic and speech recognition abilities and to assess the relative contributions of psychoacoustic and demographic factors to speech recognition of older CI (OCI) users. Method: Twelve OCI users, 12 older acoustic-hearing (OAH) listeners age-matched to…

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, 2019
Purpose: The aim of this article was to study the normal longitudinal development of wideband absorbance and admittance measures through infancy. Method: Two hundred one infants who passed the newborn hearing screen (automated auditory brainstem response) were tested at birth and then followed up at approximately 6, 12, and 18 months of age. Most…

Desjardins, Jamie L.; Barraza, Elisa G.; Orozco, Jordan A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: The purposes of the current study were to examine the effect of age on Spanish-English bilinguals' speech recognition performance and to identify differences in speech recognition performance between Spanish and English bilinguals' 1st and 2nd languages. Method: Fifteen younger adult Spanish-English bilinguals, 15 older adult…

Gifford, Rene H.; Bacon, Sid P.; Williams, Erica J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2007
Purpose: To compare speech intelligibility in the presence of a 10-Hz square-wave noise masker in younger and older listeners and to relate performance to recovery from forward masking. Method: The signal-to-noise ratio required to achieve 50% sentence identification in the presence of a 10-Hz square-wave noise masker was obtained for each of the…
