Abstract

Background and objectives: The study attempted to trace age-related changes in speech perception in typically developing children (≥3 to ≤6 years) using the "Early Speech Perception (ESP)" in Tamil. The test was developed in line with the original English version of ESP but adapted to suit the linguistic requirement of the Tamil language.

Subjects and methods: Using a cross-sectional design, the test was administered to 205 children with normal hearing who were classified into three age groups (≥3 to ≤4, >4 to ≤5, and >5 to ≤6 years). The developed test had three subtests (syllable categorization, bisyllable word identification, and trisyllable word identification).

Results: All three age groups obtained perfect or near-perfect scores on the three subtests of ESP. There was no significant difference observed between the two adjacent age groups (≥3 to ≤4 vs. >4 to ≤5 years, >4 to ≤5 vs. >5 to ≤6 years) for all three subtests. However, significant differences were seen only between the youngest and the oldest age groups for the three subtests (≥3 to ≤4 vs. >5 to ≤6 years).

Conclusions: The results indicated that ESP in Tamil can be performed effectively in all the three age groups studied.

典型发展的泰米尔语儿童早期言语感知测试的表现趋势。

背景和目的:本研究试图利用泰米尔语的“早期言语感知(ESP)”来追踪正常发育儿童(≥3至≤6岁)言语感知的年龄相关变化。该测试是根据原版英语ESP开发的，但根据泰米尔语的语言要求进行了调整。对象和方法:采用横断面设计，将205名听力正常的儿童分为3个年龄组(≥3 ~≤4岁，>4 ~≤5岁，>5 ~≤6岁)。该测试有三个子测试(音节分类、双音节词识别和三音节词识别)。结果:三个年龄组在ESP三项测试中均获得完美或接近完美的分数，两个相邻年龄组在三项测试中均无显著差异(≥3 ~≤4岁vs >4 ~≤5岁，>4 ~≤5岁vs >5 ~≤6岁)。然而，在三个亚测试中，只有最年轻和最年长的年龄组之间存在显著差异(≥3至≤4岁vs >5至≤6岁)。结论:结果表明泰米尔语的ESP在三个年龄组中都能有效地发挥作用。

期刊介绍： Journal of Audiology and Otology (JAO) (formerly known as Korean Journal of Audiology) aims to publish the most advanced findings for all aspects of the auditory and vestibular system and diseases of the ear using state-of-the-art techniques and analyses. The journal covers recent trends related to the topics of audiology, otology, and neurotology conducted by professionals, with the goal of providing better possible treatment to people of all ages, from infants to the elderly, who suffer from auditory and/or vestibular disorders and thus, improving their quality of life. This journal encourages the submission of review papers about current professional issues, research papers presenting a scientific base and clinical application, and case papers with unique reports or clinical trials. We also invite letters to the editor and papers related to the manufacture and distribution of medical devices. This journal provides integrated views from otologists, audiologists, and other healthcare practitioners, offering readers high quality scientific and clinical information. This peer-reviewed and open access journal has been the official journal of the Korean Audiological Society since 1997 and of both the Korean Audiological Society and the Korean Otological Society since 2017. It is published in English four times a year in January, April, July, and October.
