Speech in noise ability, outer hair cell function, and working memory for trained flute players.
(East Carolina University, 2015)The process of auditory speech recognition requires verbal ability, working memory, recall, and adequate auditory abilities to recognize speech. There is a well-known positive effect of musical training and experience on ... -
Speech Production Analyses: Characterizing Typical Development versus Childhood Apraxia of Speech
(East Carolina University, 2010)Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a controversial diagnosis that is frequently based on clinical perceptions, with treatment success based on the same perceptual measures. Because additional, less abstract diagnostic ... -
Spontaneous Discharge Patterns in Cochlear Spiral Ganglion Cells Prior to the Onset of Hearing in Cats
(East Carolina University, 2007-10)Spontaneous neural activity has been recorded in the auditory nerve of cats as early as 2 days postnatal (P2 ), yet individual auditory neurons do not respond to ambient sound levels below 90–100 dB SPL until about P10. ... -
Stability of conversational language samples from children in kindergarten: the effects of time, sample length, and topic
(East Carolina University, 2010)The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of measures from conversational language samples in the school-aged population. Two 10-minute conversational language samples were collected from 20 at-risk kindergarten ... -
Stereotypes of Stutterers and Nonstutterers in Three Rural Communities in Newfoundland
(East Carolina University, 1993-12)The existence of a negative stereotype of stutterers among residents of three Small, rural communities in Newfoundland, Canada was investigated. Members of these communities (n=106) completed a 25 item semantic differential ... -
Structural aging of the utricular macula in mice
(East Carolina University, 2012)CBA/CaJ is a mouse strain that has no known genetic mutations affecting the inner ear, thereby serving as a control model for auditory and vestibular aging. C57BL/6J and CE/J mouse strains carry the genetic mutation ... -
Subjective and objective screening measures for dysphonia pre-thyroidectomy
(East Carolina University, 2013)There has been a link established between post-surgical dysphonia and thyroidectomy procedures and various studies identify that a large percentage of these patients have dysphonia after surgery. Most of these incidences ... -
Systems, Methods and Products for Diagnostic hearing assessments distributed via the use of a computer network
(2012-10-16)The systems, methods and associated devices performing diagnostic hearing tests which use a computer network to allow interaction between a test administration site and one or a plurality of remote patient sites. The test ... -

A targeted Coch missense mutation: a knock-in mouse model for DFNA9 late-onset hearing loss and vestibular dysfunction
(East Carolina University, 2008-11-01)Mutations in COCH (coagulation factor C homology) are etiologic for the late-onset, progressive, sensorineural hearing loss and vestibular dysfunction known as DFNA9. We introduced the G88E mutation by gene targeting into ... -
Teacher Implemented Pivotal Response Training To Improve Communication In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders
(East Carolina University, 2011)The primary purpose of this current investigation was to determine if a variation of Pivotal Response Training (PRT) can be effectively implemented by a preschool autism teacher in a classroom setting. The secondary purpose ... -
The Effect Of Fine Arts on Language and Literacy Skills in Children
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-01)Abstract Current techniques of teaching literacy to elementary school students are commonly limited to the use of standard reading programs such as Macmillan, McGraw Hill and Houghton (LaJevic, 2013). Although systematic, ... -
The Effect of Noise Exposure on Auditory Threshold, Otoacoustic Emissions, and Electrocochleography
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)Noise exposure is the second leading cause of acquired sensorineural hearing loss and is one of the most common occupational and environmental hazards. Examining changes in behavioral thresholds has long been the standard ... -
The Effects of Gravity and Scar Contracture on Post-Surgical Tissue Changes and Speech Outcomes Following Pharyngoplasties
(East Carolina University, 2017-12-07)Following cleft palate repair, approximately 20% of patients continue to display velopharyngeal dysfunction (VPD) and require secondary surgery. Those with VPD are more likely to develop aberrant speech errors, affecting ... -
The Influence of Language Phenotype on Predictors of Emergent Literacy in Children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-01)The development of emergent literacy skills in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is a growing subject of inquiry in the field of communication sciences and disorders; however, few studies have investigated the ... -
The Influence of Orthodontic Appliances on Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Velopharynx
(East Carolina University, 2022-12-08)Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is becoming increasingly valuable among cleft palate craniofacial teams in patients with velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI). One hindrance to the growing use of MRI among the cleft population ... -
Therapeutic device to ameliorate stuttering
(East Carolina University, 1999-10-05)A device and method for ameliorating stuttering by providing an altered auditory feedback by employing a compact device configured for positioning in or adjacent the ear canal of an individual. The portable, self-contained ... -
