The Effect of Room Volume on Speech Recognition in Enclosures with Similar Mean Reverberation Time (2007-12-19)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesThis project investigated speech recognition in rooms of different size with similar average reverberation times. A comparative analysis of existing literature has provided evidence to support that speech recognition in ...
-
(2016-03-09)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesAn objective measure, not requiring a behavioral response, of speech recognition performance in individuals with cochlear implants (CIs) would be beneficial in directing clinical recommendations. Neuroimaging can be such ...
-
(2019-05-24)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesData from elicited language tasks can add to the literature on the development of the complex syntax structures of embedded complement clauses in typically developing children. In the current study, preschool-age children ...
