Audiometric Configurations in Children
Recent studies suggest that the amplification needs of children and adults differ due to differences in perceptual ability. For example, several studies have confirmed that children realize greater benefit from a more audible speech signal (Stelmachowicz, Hoover, Lewis, Kortekaas and Pittman 2000; Stelmachowicz, Pittman, Hoover, Lewis and Moeller 2004), a higher signal-to-noise ratio (Hall and ...
متن کاملAuditing occupational audiometric testing – a pilot study
Concept Safety Systems cc P O Box 8497, Edenglen, 1613 e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Uncontrolled exposure to noise in the occupational setting may cause occupational noise induced hearing loss (NIHL). In South Africa, once an exposed worker has shifted 10 percentage points from his baseline audiometric reading he is eligible for compensation.1 Pure tone air conduction (PTAC) audiometric s...
متن کاملMemorial consequences of testing school-aged children.
A large literature shows that retrieval practice is a powerful tool for enhancing learning and memory in undergraduates (Roediger & Karpicke, 2006a). Much less work has examined the memorial consequences of testing school-aged children. Our focus is on multiple-choice tests, which are potentially problematic since they minimise retrieval practice and also expose students to errors (the multiple...
متن کاملAssessment issues in the testing of children at school entry.
The authors introduce readers to the research documenting racial and ethnic gaps in school readiness. They describe the key tests, including the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT), the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study (ECLS), and several intelligence tests, and describe how they have been administered to several important national samples of children. Next, the authors review the differen...
متن کاملA tutorial on complex sound fields for audiometric testing.
A fundamental understanding of soundfield characteristics in enclosed spaces is required in order to appreciate and predict the behavior of complex sound fields (i.e., sound fields created with at least two uncorrelated sound sources on different axes) used in auditory tests for evaluating hearing aid performance, especially speech-in-noise tasks. This article is a tutorial starting with ideali...
