1. 1. Rethinking Sound : Computer-assisted reading intervention with a phonics approach for deaf and hard of hearing children using cochlear implants or hearing aids

   Författare :Cecilia Nakeva von Mentzer; Björn Lyxell; Birgitta Sahlén; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Computer-assisted reading intervention; phonics approach; deaf and hard of hearing; children; cochlear implants; hearing aids; Datorbaserad fonologisk lästräning; döva och hörselskadade barn; cochleaimplantat; hörapparat;

   Sammanfattning : In the present thesis, computer-assisted reading intervention with a phonics approach was examined in deaf and hard of hearing children (DHH) aged 5, 6 or 7 years old using cochlear implants, hearing aids or a combination of both. Children with normal hearing (NH), matched for non-verbal intelligence and age, served as a reference group. LÄS MER

   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Hearing loss; speech processing; electroencephalogram EEG; working memory; cognitive load; hearing aid; Hörselnedsättning; bearbetning av tal; elektroencefalogram EEG; arbetsminne; kognitiv belastning; hörapparat;

   Sammanfattning : Understanding speech in the presence of noise can be difficult, especially when suffering from a hearing loss. This thesis examined behavioural and electrophysiological measures of speech processing with the aim of establishing how they were influenced by hearing loss (internal degradation) and listening condition (external degradation).

4. 3. Cognition in Hearing Aid Users : Memory for Everyday Speech

   Författare :Hoi Ning Elaine Ng; Jerker Rönnberg; Mary Rudner; Thomas Lunner; Kevin Munro; Linköpings universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Hearing aid; working memory; free recall; noise reduction; speech recognition; Hörapparat; arbetsminne; återgivning; brusreducering; taluppfattning;

   Sammanfattning : The thesis investigated the importance of cognition for speech understanding in experienced and new hearing aid users. The aims were 1) to develop a cognitive test (Sentence-final Word Identification and Recall, or SWIR test) to measure the effects of a noise reduction algorithm on processing of highly intelligible speech (everyday sentences); 2) to investigate, using the SWIR test, whether hearing aid signal processing would affect memory for heard speech in experienced hearing aid users; 3) to test whether the effects of signal processing on the ability to recall speech would interact with background noise and individual differences in working memory capacity; 4) to explore the potential clinical application of the SWIR test; and 5) to examine the relationship between cognition and speech recognition in noise in new users over the first six months of hearing aid use.

5. 4. Assistive technology, human rights and poverty in developing countries. Perspectives based on a study in Bangladesh

   Författare :Johan Borg; Socialmedicin och global hälsa; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; disability; developing countries; assistive technology; Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities; human rights; low-income countries; poverty;

   Sammanfattning : Deprived of human rights, more than half of all people with disabilities in developing countries live in extreme poverty. Although considered a prerequisite for equalization of opportunities, about nine out of ten of those who need assistive technologies do not have access to them. LÄS MER

7. 5. Dialogkompetens i skolans vardag : En aktionsforskningsstudie i hörselklassmiljö

   Författare :Ann-Christine Wennergren; Sture Brändström; Karin Rönnerman; Anders Ågren; Gunilla Härnsten; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; hard-of-hearing pupils; dialogue competence; critical friends; school improvement; participatory action research; sociocultural theories; Music Education;

   Sammanfattning : In classes for hard-of-hearing pupils there are children and young people with different degrees of impaired hearing, all of whom need hearing aids and technical equipment inthe environment. The initial problem area of the present thesis concerned the pattern of communication in the classroom. LÄS MER
