Ryan McCreery – Volta Review, 2024
Children can only develop spoken language through consistent exposure to the acoustic cues that comprise speech and language.

While the clinical audiogram remains an important…

Doyle, Janet – Volta Review, 1988
Fifty-four audiologists were asked to predict future speech intelligibility in hearing-impaired children based on four pure-tone audiograms. Predictions varied significantly with degree of loss and status of high-frequency hearing. Audiologists with greater clinical experience had less faith in audiograms as predictors of speech skills than had…
