Abstract:

This thesis investigates how developments in audio for digital television can be utilised to improve the experience of hearing impaired people when watching television. The work has had significant impact on international digital TV broadcast standards; it led to the formation of the UK Clean Audio Forum whose recommendations based on the research have been included in ETSI international standards for digital television, adopted into ITU standards for IPTV and also into EBU and NorDig digital television receiver specifications. In this thesis listening tests are implemented to assess the impac

Abstract:

Hearing loss is a prevalent condition that can have negative implications on the day-to-day lives of those with hearing loss, and their communication partners. Several reviews have identified numerous questionnaires that explore the impact of hearing loss, with little consensus among researchers as to their preference. One reason for this is a lack of an agreed framework concerning exactly what is the impact of hearing loss, and what is important to those who live with the condition. To address this gap in understanding, the experiences of those living with hearing loss or with someone that ha

Abstract:

The research concerns communication between deaf people and hearing advisers in career or job seeking interviews. Issues of disability, emancipatory research and methods used in deaf research are explored together with the medical and social models of disability and the complexity of discrimination. It is set to a background of the history of deaf people and the inherent disadvantages of communication and language, education and knowledge, identity and perceptions of deafness. It summarises the experiences of deaf people in and seeking employment and the skills required in job seeking. Communi

There is scientific evidence that some leisure activities involve potentially hazardous noise. This cross-sectional cohort study was the first to investigate the implications of leisure-noise exposure for young people with early hearing impairment (HI). Participants (n = 268) were surveyed about health, leisure participation, attitudes to noise, hearing aid use and hearing protective strategies. Hearing threshold level (HTL) and other clinical data were collected. Leisure data were used to estimate individual whole-of-life noise exposure. Attitudes to noise, leisure participation and noise exp

Abstract:

Adults with intellectual impairments experience frequent communication breakdown in their everyday interactions. This can result from impairment of the linguistic skills required for effective communication and/or difficulties dealing with non-verbal information. Problems also exist, however, in the way that some non-impaired speakers, such as care providers, approach these communicative episodes. This thesis investigates communication in young adults with intellectual impairments with three different communication partners.

Abstract:

Speech production in children with Down’s syndrome (DS) has been found to be variable and inconsistent. Errors are concentrated in consonants that are typically late developing, such as fricatives. It has been suggested that inconsistency in speech production in DS is a result of a motor speech deficit but there is little detailed articulatory evidence to support this claim. This study (with data from MRC grant ‘Assessment and Treatment of Impaired Speech Motor Control in Children with Down's syndrome’ (G0401388)) provides a detailed phonetic analysis of the voiceless sibilants /s/ and /ʃ/, in

Being given the diagnosis of a disability generally affects an individual's emotional state, however, this has not previously been investigated with respect to audiology and the diagnosis of hearing loss.

An awareness of these emotional reactions will aid audiologists in counselling their patients. Counselling occurs at the time of the diagnosis and throughout the aural rehabilitation process.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Hearing loss is the third most prevalent chronic condition faced by older adults and has been linked to difficulties in speech perception, activities of daily living, and social interaction. Recent studies have suggested a correlation between severity of hearing loss and an individual's cognitive function; however, a causative link has yet to be established. One intervention option for management of the most severe to profound hearing loss in older adults is cochlear implantation.

Abstract:

Background: Voice quality in Down’s syndrome (DS) is accepted as unusual, often perceived as harsh and whispery with lower pitch and altered nasal resonance.

Method: This is a quantitative study of the voice quality of children and young people with DS compared to age-matched typically-developing (TD) controls.

High rates of HIV/AIDS in young women in Sub-Saharan Africa are a serious health problem. As a result, young women are an important target for HIV prevention.

This study arose out of concerns for the vulnerability and voicelessness of young women of Busoga, Eastern Uganda, in relation to HIV/AIDS.

As a result, they are forced to utilize an alternative channel for achieving communication, interaction and access to information.

A disabling condition that is common for many senior adults is hearing impairment. Studies have shown that a substantial number of people who could benefit from amplification choose not to use hearing aid. Often the reasons may be because they have unrealistic expectations of what hearing aids can do. These unrealistic expectations are not necessarily from personal use, but the senior adult is often influenced by the media, acquaintances, or advertisements.
