Generators of mammalian vestibular surface responses to head motion
(East Carolina University, 2012)The linear vestibular sensory evoked potential (VsEP) is thought to be the compound electrical response of peripheral macular neurons and central neural relays, and as such used to directly assess macular function. The ... -
Hearing aids in older adults: audibility, outcomes, status, characteristics, and skills
(East Carolina University, 2013)The current study explored hearing aid outcomes for a group of participants who were dispenser fit rather than protocol fit. Participants could have been fit and followed by any hearing aid practitioner increasing the ... -
High-Frame-Rate Full-Vocal-Tract 3D Dynamic Speech Imaging

Impact of Auditory Training on Speech Perception and Cognitive Abilities in Older Adults with Hearing Loss
(East Carolina University, 2011)The current study explored the impact of short term auditory training (LACE-Degraded) and auditory-cognitive training (LACE 4.0) on speech perceptual and cognitive measures in older adults with mild-moderate sensorineural ... -
Implementation Of An In-The-Ear Device To Alleviate Stuttering: Research Evidence
(East Carolina University, 2006) -
Inducement of Fluent Speech in Persons Who Stutter Via Visual Choral Speech
(East Carolina University, 2000)A novel phenomenon of fluency enhancement via visual gestures of speech in the absence of traditional auditory feedback is reported herein. The effect on visual choral speech on stuttering frequency was investigated. Ten ... -
Influence of Dialect and Stimulus Audibility on LiSN-S Performances
(East Carolina University, 2018-05-03)The main objectives were to investigate the effect of dialect on Listening in Spatialized Noise-Sentences (LISN-S) performances and to assess the relationship between bilateral pure-tone threshold averages (PTAs) and LISN-S ... -
Influence of linguistic context and working memory on auditory comprehension in young and older adults with aphasia
(East Carolina University, 2010)The purpose of the current investigation was to examine the influence of linguistic context on auditory comprehension in adults with aphasia, explore effects of the explanatory variables of age, working memory (WM), aphasia ... -
The Influence of Vocabulary Type and Complexity on Rapid Automatized Naming Tasks (RAN/RAS) in Children with Reading Disorders
(East Carolina University, 2012)The present study was a pilot investigation that examined the role of vocabulary level and task type in rapid automatized naming tasks (RAN/RAS) in 15 adolescent children (ages 10-13) with average reading abilities and ... -
Inhibition of Stuttering from Second Speech Signals: An Evaluation of Temporal and Hierarchical Aspects
(East Carolina University, 2012)Stuttering is an intermittent and involuntary speech disorder overtly characterized by syllable repetitions, phoneme prolongations and postural fixations that disrupt the natural flow of speech. Overt stuttering is reduced ... -
Insights Into Elevated Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions In Sickle Cell Disease: Comparisons of Hydroxyurea-treated and Non-treated Young Children
(East Carolina University, 2006)Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were examined in 15 normal- hearing African-American children between the ages of 6 and 14 years with homozygous sickle cell disease (SCD), who were on a regimen of hydroxyurea ... -
An Investigation of Auditory and Visual Temporal Processing in Children with Reading Disorders
(East Carolina University, 2009)Several lines of research have revealed a relationship between reading disorders (RD) and auditory temporal processing deficits. That is, subtle, yet rapid changes within an acoustic message are more difficult for individuals ... -
Investigation of the Anatomical and Physiological Changes Following the Use of a Pedicled Buccal Fat Pad Graft During Primary Palatoplasty
(East Carolina University, 2019-07-19)Children with cleft palate typically undergo primary surgery between 6-12 months of age to close the cleft in the palate and create proper muscle function for elevation and retraction of the velum for speech. About one ... -
Investigations Of The Impact Of Altered Auditory Feedback In-The-Ear Devices On The Speech Of People Who Stutter: Initial Fitting And Four-Month Follow-Up
(East Carolina University, 2004)Background: Self-contained ear-level devices delivering altered auditory feedback (AAF) for the application with those who stutter were only recently developed (Stuart et al. 2003). Aim: This paper examines the first ... -
Investigations Of The Impact Of Altered Auditory Feedback In-The-Ear Devices On The Speech Of People Who Stutter: One-Year Follow-Up
(East Carolina University, 2006)Purpose: This study examined objective and subjective measures of the effect of a self-contained ear-level device delivering altered auditory feedback (AAF) for those who stutter 12 months following initial fitting with ...
