AbstractThis study investigates the role of acoustic salience and hearing impairment in learning phonologically minimal pairs. Picture-matching and object-matching tasks were used to investigate the learning of consonant and vowel minimal pairs in five- to six-year-old deaf children with a cochlear implant (CI), and children of the same age with normal hearing (NH). In both tasks, the CI children showed clear difficulties with learning minimal pairs. The NH children also showed some difficulties, however, particularly in the picture-matching task. Vowel minimal pairs were learned more successfully than consonant minimal pairs, particularly in the object-matching task. These results suggest that the ability to encode phonetic detail in novel words is not fully developed at age six and is affected by task demands and acoustic salience. CI children experience persistent difficulties with accurately mapping sound contrasts to novel meanings, but seem to benefit from the relative acoustic salience of vowel sounds.

<p><strong>Background:</strong> Syntax is an important aspect of language. It is very important to study syntax development in the children with hearing impairment (HI). The aim of study was to compare syntactic abilities of Marathi speaking children with hearing impairment using cochlear implant and typical developing children in the age range of 4 to 7 years.<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Ninety typically developing children, 26 language age matched children using cochlear implants were included in this study. They were grouped into three age groups: 4-5, 5-6 and 6-7 years. Syntax test in Marathi which has six subtests in comprehension: wh-questions, negations/yes/no questions, post-positions, plurals, tenses, person, number, gender markers and five subtests in expression: negation/yes/no questions, post-positions, plurals, tenses, person, number, gender markers was administered through a laptop to children in each group.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Results showed typically developing children performed significantly better than children with hearing impairment using cochlear implant I the age range of 4 to 5 years. Except postposition and PNG markers of comprehensive syntactic abilities all other syntactic abilities were significantly poor in children using cochlear implants. Only expressive syntactic abilities were significantly poor among children using cochlear implants in the age range of 6 to 7 years.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Overall, the findings of this study showed that that Syntax test in Marathi can identify impairment in the syntactic ability in Marathi speaking children with hearing impairment. Children with hearing impairment using cochlear implants showed poor syntactic abilities.</p>

Loudness Judgment

Abstract Introduction Loudness perception is considered important for the perception of emotions, relative distance and stress patterns. However, certain digital hearing devices worn by those with hearing impairment may affect their loudness perception. This could happen in devices that have compression circuits to make loud sounds soft and soft sounds loud. These devices could hamper children from gaining knowledge about loudness of acoustical signals. Objective To compare relative loudness judgment of children using listening devices with age-matched typically developing children. Methods The relative loudness judgment of sounds created by day-to-day objects were evaluated on 60 children (20 normal-hearing, 20 hearing aid users, & 20 cochlear implant users), utilizing a standard group comparison design. Using a two-alternate forced-choice technique, the children were required to select picturized sound sources that were louder. Results The majority of the participants obtained good scores and poorer scores were mainly obtained by children using cochlear implants. The cochlear implant users obtained significantly lower scores than the normal-hearing participants. However, the scores were not significantly different between the normal-hearing children and the hearing aid users as well as between the two groups with hearing impairment. Conclusion Thus, despite loudness being altered by listening devices, children using non-linear hearing aids or cochlear implants are able to develop relative loudness judgment for acoustic stimuli. However, loudness growth for electrical stimuli needs to be studied.

Early implantation and hearing and speech rehabilitation provide much wider opportunities to develop linguistic and communication skills for children with hearing impairment. The article presents own research, the aim of which was to determine the level of language competence of children with prelingual hearing deafness, which were implanted with a cochlear implant until the second year of life. The study involved a group of 169 children with prelingual hearing deafness. The tests used 6 Ling’s sounds, the MAIS scale, the MUSS scale and the TAPS test.

Translation And Cultural Adaptation

This manuscript summarizes available evidence-based best practices in the development, translation, and cultural adaptation of one type of outcome measure for adults with hearing impairment, patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). It presents the development of the Cochlear Implant Quality of Life (CIQOL) instruments and the ongoing translation and cultural adaptation of the CIQOL-35 Profile from English to French as case studies and discusses useful lessons for selecting, developing, translating, culturally adapting, and using PROMs. Relevant best practice guides are introduced, described and their steps are illustrated with examples. Future trends in hearing-related PROMs, including computerized adaptive testing, patient-reported experience measures (PREMs), economic evaluation and allocation of scarce resources, and PROMs in low-resource settings, are discussed. The manuscript concludes on the lessons that can be learned from implementation science for the successful and sustainable integration of PROMs in clinical practice.
