  1. 1. Representing sounds and spellings : Phonological decline and compensatory working memory in acquired hearing impairment

    Författare :Elisabet Classon; Jerker Rönnberg; Mary Rudner; Mikael Johansson; Nathalie Phillips; Linköpings universitet; []
    Nyckelord :Acquired hearing impairment; phonology; WMC; reading span; Förvärvad hörselnedsättning; fonologi; arbetsminne; lässpann;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis examined phonological processing in adults with postlingually acquired moderate-to-severe hearing impairment (HI) and whether explicit working memory processing of phonology and individual working memory capacity (WMC) can compensate for degraded phonological representations in this group (papers I-III). A second aim was to provide reference data for a test of WMC, the reading span test, and to examine the relation between reading span test performance and speech recognition in noise in a larger sample of 50-89 year olds with HI (paper IV).

    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; general anesthesia.; molecular genetics; hearing impairment; full-field electroretinography; Retinal degeneration;

    Sammanfattning : A variety of disorders can cause retinal degeneration and hearing impairment, and it is of great value to have an early diagnosis since there is a large variation in phenotype and prognosis both within and between the different disorders. The general aim of this thesis was to characterize the retinal function, to describe the phenotype, and – where appropriate – to relate the phenotype to genotype in patients with combined visual and hearing impairment.
