CMD 454 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Structured Interview, Lip Reading, Cochlear Implant
Document Summary
Goals: development of the ability to recognize speech using audition and interpret auditory experiences, listener maximizes residual hearing and the auditory signal. Objectives for children: creation of communication environments where children with hearing loss apply auditory sense to fullest capacity in language communication. Objectives for adults: maximize use of auditory/other information related to speech perception, adjustment and orientation to amplification; to optimize use of assistive. Who is a candidate for auditory training: children with prelingual snhl usually moderate-profound range with congenital onset, children with postlingual snhl, select groups of hard-of-hearing adults, new cochlear implant users, both adults and children. Auditory training for children: usually children with prelingual hearing loss, 4 objectives. Development of broad discriminations among simple speech patterns. Development of finer discriminations for speech: easier more difficult. Therefore, informal assessments and observations are frequently. Limitations cognitive and linguistic skill levels used. For infants, determine extent to which auditory skills have emerged. For older children, determine speech perception skills.
