The effectiveness of Otto’s World of Sound computer- based auditory training for improving auditory discrimination and auditory attention skills in children who have a hearing impairment
نویسنده
چکیده
This study investigated the effects of computer-based auditory training software (Otto’s World of Sound) on auditory discrimination, speech perception and auditory attention skills in New Zealand children who have a hearing impairment. Four school-age participants with moderate to profound hearing loss participated in the study. A pre versus post test case study series design was employed to obtain pilot information on effectiveness of the intervention. The results for speech perception and auditory attention skills were promising. Hence further research is warranted using Otto’s World of Sound computer-based auditory training to demonstrate efficacy of the training, using a larger group of participants in a randomised controlled trial.
