Types of communication
oral, non-verbal
Auditory perception
segmental (speech sounds)
suprasegmental (rate, rhythm, intonation)
T/F Normal development of speech and language relies on appropriate development of auditory skills
true
Basic range of pitch
20-20,000 Hz
Basic range of intensity
0-130 dB
Speech banana
area on audiogram where speech sounds fall (looks like a banana)
Are consonants low or high frequency sounds?
high
Temporal parametrs
timing, length
transitional cues
show what is going on (ex: switching powerpoint slides)
Speech perception order from most basic
detection, discrimination, identification, attention, memory, closure, comprehensive
most frequently missed consonants and vowels
consonants: s, p, k , d, θ
vowels: ɛ, o
Greater redundancy=
better odds that listener can guess what was said even if not clearly heard
T/F conversational speech is highly redundant
True
SNR
Signal to noise ratio, trying to increase signal
potential noise sources
- speaker: syntax/articulation struggles
-environment: lighting, visual
-listener (poor listening, lack of familiarity)
Auditory Training Process
teaching child or adult with hearing impairment to take full advantage/maximize of available auditory cues
-amplification of HA or CI
-moderate to profound hearing loss
WIPI/ NU-CHIPS
evaluation of children discrimination with picture ID and closed set
Adults
picture ID with lists, everyday speech sentences, low and high predictability
SKI-HI
home intervention
Analytic method
breaking speech into smaller components, bottom-up approach
synthetic approach
meaningful stimuli (practice stimuli based on context of location) top-down approach. gist of conversation to then determine individual words
Anticipatory strategies
pre conversation: know who speaking with, adjust HA, location
Repair strategies
during conversation: adjust HA, ask to repeat
Passive Conversation
(withdraw)- remove from social environments
