Predicting Compliance in Voice Therapy using the Voice Handicap Index
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Research indicates that it is not uncommon for patients to cancel or postpone scheduled appointments for speech therapy designed to improve the voice, i.e., voice therapy. The purpose of this study is to determine if ...
Auditory Temporal Resolution In Normal Hearing Preschool Children Revealed by Word Recognition In Continuous And Interrupted Noise
(East Carolina University, 2006)
The purpose of this study was to examine temporal resolution in normal hearing pre-school children. Word recognition was evaluated in quiet and in spectrally identical continuous and interrupted noise at signal-to-noise ...
Unilateral Auditory Temporal Resolution Deficit: A Case Study
(East Carolina University, 1999)
An adult with a unilateral precipitous severe high-frequency hearing loss displayed a selective auditory temporal resolution deficit in the poorer ear despite excellent word recognition ability in quiet bilaterally. Word ...
Self-contained In-The-Ear device to deliver altered auditory feedback: applications for stuttering
(East Carolina University, 2003)
The design and operating characteristics of the first self-contained in-the-ear device to deliver altered auditory feedback is described for applications with those who stutter. The device incorporates a microdigital signal ...
Leadership Boot Camp
(East Carolina University, 2006)
A comparison of vestibular and auditory phenotypes in inbred mouse strains
(East Carolina University, 2006-05-26)
The purposes of this research were to quantify gravity receptor function in inbred mouse strains and compare vestibular and auditory function for strain- and age-matched animals. Vestibular evoked potentials (VsEPs) were ...
Effect of Age, Gender, and Repeated Measures on Intraoral Air Pressure in Normal Adults
(East Carolina University, 2001)
The effect of age, gender, and repeated measures on intraoral air pressure (P0) was examined. Sixty adults comprised of ten males and ten females in each of three age groups (i.e., 20 to 39, 40 to 59, and 60 to 83 years) ...
Mixture modeling with applications in schizophrenia research
(East Carolina University, 2009-05-15)
Finite mixture modeling, together with the EM algorithm, have been widely used in clustering analysis. Under such methods, the unknown group membership is usually treated as missing data. When the "complete data" ...
Modeling survival in colon cancer: a methodological review
(East Carolina University, 2007-02-12)
The Cox proportional hazards model is the most widely used model for survival analysis because of its simplicity. The fundamental assumption in this model is the proportionality of the hazard function. When this condition ...
Methods and devices for delivering exogenously generated speech signals to enhance fluency in persons who stutter
(East Carolina University, 2004-06-22)
Methods and devices generate an exogenous natural second speech signal as an auditory stimulus to a user to enhance the fluency of persons who stutter. The natural speech signal is independent of the contemporaneous speech ...
