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) ...
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 ...
Methods and devices for enhancing fluency in persons who stutter employing visual speech gestures
(East Carolina University, 2006-04-18)
Methods, devices, and computer program products display visual choral speech to a patient who stutters or has a speech impediment or impairment as a visual stimulus for the patient to enhance the fluency of the patient. ...
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 ...
Auditory event-related potentials recorded during passive listening and speech production
(East Carolina University, 2010)
What is the role of audition in the process of speech production and speech perception? Specifically, how are speech production and speech perception integrated to facilitate forward flowing speech and communication? ...
Cultural influence on listener responses to stuttering
(East Carolina University, 2010)
Stuttering is a developmental, involuntary, and intermittent fluency disorder. During moments of stuttering, people who stutter demonstrate sudden onsets and offsets of the aberrant struggling behaviors, with primary ...
Binaural Interference in Normal Hearing Children
(East Carolina University, 2009)
This study was conducted to determine if the phenomenon of binaural interference occurs in normal hearing children. To investigate the possible presence of binaural interference, comparisons of the participants' right, ...
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 ...
Otoconin-90 Deletion Leads to Imbalance but Normal Hearing: A Comparison with Other Otoconia Mutants
(East Carolina University, 2008-04)
Our sense of gravitation and linear acceleration is mediated by stimulation of vestibular hair cells through displacement of otoconia in the utricle and saccule (the gravity receptor organ). We recently showed that otoconin-90 ...
