Unilateral hearing impairment and the effects of FM auditory trainers on auditory discriminationEley, Cynthia S. January 1988 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of using an FM auditory trainer on the speech intelligibility with unilateral hearing loss. Half lists of the NU-6 was administered to 20 normal hearing adults under the following conditions: binaurally (quiet and noise), one ear occluded without and FM auditory trainer (quiet and noise), and one ear occluded with an FM auditory trainer (quiet and noise). The occlusion of the right and left ears was performed in order to control for the dominance of the right ear in speech discrimination under noise.The results indicated a significant improvement in speech discrimination when an FM auditory trainer is used with the unilaterally hearing impaired. / Department of Speech Pathology & Audiology

Auditory-verbal therapy with deaf or hard-of-hearing children in Gauteng, South AfricaTaylor, Ashleigh January 2016 (has links)
A research report in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Audiology by coursework and research report in the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, 2016 / Auditory-verbal therapy (AVT) is an intervention approach used as part of an aural
(re)habilitation programme conducted by an audiologist with deaf or hard-of-hearing (HOH)
children. AVT is a refinement of the oral-aural approach and emphasizes listening instead of
visual input. Previous research has focused on AVT in developed countries; however, there is
limited available research in developing countries such as South Africa. This study explores
and describes the relevance of AVT provided by audiologists in Gauteng, South Africa. The
specific objectives of the study were to explore the differences between AVT and general
paediatric aural rehabilitation therapies conducted by audiologists; the impact of language on
the implementation of AVT and the challenges associated with AVT training. A qualitative
research design was used. A purposive sampling strategy was used to identify and recruit
participants. Ten audiologists currently conducting aural rehabilitation were selected to
participate in the study. The sample size was divided into five audiologists who had obtained
the LSL certification (equivalent to AVT certification) and five audiologists without the LSL
certification. A pilot study was conducted prior to data collection to determine the applicability
of the research study. Thereafter semi-structured interviews were conducted, using an interview
schedule. Thematic analysis was employed and themes were described qualitatively. Results
revealed the emergence of three resounding themes which included challenges, differences in
therapy approaches, and implementation and contributing factors to the success of AVT. The
results concluded the need for the implementation of newborn hearing screening programmes
to assist with early identification and detection of hearing loss. The study identifies a strong
need for the increase in the number of certified LSL therapists in South Africa and additional
AVT comprehensive programmes to be implemented at various institutions in Gauteng.
Awareness regarding the success of AVT implementation needs to be raised. Finally, the
HPCSA needs to revisit and explicitly define the role of audiologists interacting with deaf or
HOH children with the LSL qualification being a mandatory postgraduate pre-requisite for
working in the field of aural rehabilitation.

Verkenning van buffer- en risikofaktore wat ’n rol speel in die ontwikkeling van gehoorgestremde kleuters / Exploring the risk and protective factors that contribute to the development of hearing-impaired toddlersRoux, Marike 02 1900 (has links)
Afrikaans text / Die doel van die studie is om buffer- en risikofaktore te verken wat ‟n rol in die ontwikkeling van gehoorgestremde kleuters kan speel.
Gehoorgestremde kleuters presenteer met ‟n gehoorverlies, wat hul van normaalhorende kleuters onderskei. Tog beskik alle kleuters oor primêre behoeftes. Lewenskwaliteit word verbeter deur behoeftevervulling, wat die ontwikkelingsproses beïnvloed. Hierdie behoeftes word vervul deur die kleuter, asook faktore vanuit die omgewing.
‟n Literatuurstudie is onderneem as teoretiese raamwerk, wat teorieë omtrent die omgewing en behoeftes, buffer- en risikofaktore en kleuterontwikkeling insluit. Data is vanuit ‟n kwalitatiewe benadering ingesamel deur semi-gestruktureerde onderhoude en ekokaarte saamgestel deur ouers van gehoorgestremde kleuters. Kontrolering en integrering van data het deur triangulering geskied. Buffer- en risikofaktore binne kleuters self, die gesin en die breër gemeenskap is verken. Die studie is verkennend en beskrywend, en toegepaste navorsing is gebruik. So is gevolgtrekkinge en aanbevelings gemaak om toepaslike ondersteuning aan ouers van gehoorgestremde kleuters te bewerkstellig. / The aim of the study is to explore the protective and risk factors that may contribute to the development of hearing-impaired toddlers.
Hearing impaired toddlers present with a hearing loss, which distinguish them from toddlers with normal hearing. However, all toddlers have primary needs. Quality of life is improved by the fulfilment of needs, which influences the developmental process. These needs are fulfilled by the toddler, as well as by factors from the environment.
A literature study was conducted as theoretical framework. This included theories regarding the environment and needs, protective and risk factors, and toddler development. In this qualitative study, data collection was conducted by semi-structured interviews and the compilation of ecomaps by parents of hearing impaired toddlers. Triangulation was used to verify and integrate data. Protective and risk factors were explored within the toddler, the family and the wider community. This study is exploratory and descriptive and applied research was used. In this way conclusions and recommendations were made to provide appropriate support to parents of hearing impaired toddlers. / Social Work / M. Diac. (Spelterapie)
