متن کاملNasalance Scores of Sentences in Children with Hearing Loss
Background and purpose: Proper resonance is a major factor for the comprehension of speech in individuals with hearing loss. These people have low speech intelligibility caused by inappropriate resonance. Therefore, nasalance measurement is a principal aspect of the assessment of people with hearing loss. This study aimed at determining nasalance in children with hearing loss. Materials and me...
