aural: exam 2 Flashcards
CI controversy
CIs enhance the quality of life
CIs are a threat to deaf culture
Future of CI
- partial implants with hearing aid for those w residual lo freq HL
- intraoperative mapping
- bilateral implantation: one vs two
- implantation got asymm SNHL
- soft tip array
Opinions in favor of CI
- critical age for language acq
- surgery not very invasive
- access to hearing world (Ed, social)
- sound awareness
- function more normally in hearing world
CI opinions against
- Ethically wrong
- threat to Deaf culture
- labels deafness as”disability”
- invasive unnecessary surgery
- adults can choose, children can’t
- long term effects unknown
Auditory training
Teaching client to hear after listening device fitted
History of auditory training
1791 1805 Paris 1893 US Goldstein Central Inst for Deaf Currier school NY Gillespie NE Clarke school ML
Aud train design principles
.
Aud train Skill level
Awareness: presence vs absence, action –> sound
Discrimination: same/different, pattern perception, long/short
Aud train stim units
Analytic: segments of speech (phonemes, syll), recognition of acoustic clues
Synthetic: recognizes overall meaning
Aud train activity type
Formal: structured indiv or grp- exercises, drills, reinforcements, ROUTINE
Informal: part of everyday life, conversations
Aud train Difficulty level
Vary set size: closed set, limited (context), open
Vary stimuli: words, phrases, sentences
Also: different vs similar (cognates), structured vs spontaneous, presentation (SNR)
Aud train threshold
Increase level of one variable if >80% correc
Decrease if <50%
Aud train objectives
Goal
Objective (measured outcome, time frame, milestones)
Analytic aud approach
Vowels- intensity, formants, acoustic features
Consonants- place, manner, voicing
Aud Vowel training: formants
First formant: high = more open, low = narrower (similar pairs:he/who, hid/hood, head/hawed, had/hod)
Second formant: high: more closed, lower: narrower (similar pairs: hid/head/had, hah/who)
Aud train objectives: vowels
Demonstrate sound awareness (animals)
Disc 1st Formant vowels (beet/ bat)
Disc 2nd formant pairs (bee/boo)
Disc 1st-2nd formant pairs (sheep/ship)
Aud train procedures: vowel
Begin with a+v cues, to associate sound and look Use carrier phrases "show me the" Use pictures of objects Increase set size: closed- limited-open Take away speech reading visual cues
auditory training: consonants
Manner: stop, fricative, nasal, liquid
Voicing
Place: bilabial, labiodental, linguadental, alveolar, velar/palatal
Auditory Train objectives: consonants
Identify consonants differing in manner/voice: tap/map
Identify words with similar manner/voice but diff place: bog/dog
Auditory training objectives: synthesis
Awareness of suprasegmentals (intonation, stress, duration, loudness)
Disc of ss: up up vs uhhhp
ID # syll
Progress from single to multiword utterances
Closed set comprehension (show me)
Open set (directions to draw)
Auditory training: reinforcement
Quick easy interesting immediate appropriate
Aud train SPICE
3-12 yo
4 levels: detection, ss & percept, vowel & cons disc, connect speech
Formal analytic –> informal synthetic
Aud train hierarchy
Familiar common expressions Single 2 step directions Class instrux Sequence 3 direx Multi element direx Sequence three events in story Answer questions about story Comprehension in noise
Speech reading
Visual AND auditory cues (absence of visual decrease recog 20%)
