This study aims to consider the effect of hearing loss and native-language phonology on learning English by Australian Indigenous children. Twenty-one standard Australian English consonants were considered in a consonant-vowel (CV) context. Each consonant was paired with each other to yield 'same' and 'different' consonant pairs. The participants were classified into three groups: (1) English speaking, non- Indigenous children without history of hearing loss and otitis media (three males, four females, mean age 13.7 years); (2) Indigenous children speaking Tiwi as their native language, without history of hearing loss and otitis media and learning English as a second language (two males, three females, mean age 12.1 yrs) and (3) Indigenous children speaking Tiwi as their native language, with a history of hearing loss and otitis media since childhood (six females, mean age 13.1 years). The reaction time from the onset of the second word of the pair to the pressing of a 'same' or 'different' button was measured. The results demonstrated that discrimination of consonants was differentially affected by differences in language. Hearing loss further complicated the difficulties that a child was already having with English. Hearing loss tended to affect discrimination of English consonants more than those in the native language. The study suggests that amplification alone does not suffice and recommended that phonological awareness programs, with or without amplification, need to be part of a reading program from preschool with Indigenous children learning English as a 'school' language.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116357666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite the increasing number of people experiencing difficulties with hearing, hearing aids are not being used to the extent that they should be given the magnitude of the hearing problem. This study explored whether a 'Hearing Aid Effect' (HAE) (negative stigma attached to the presence of a hearing aid) is a basis for the lack of amplification use. A sample of Northern Territory Indigenous adolescents boarding at high schools in Alice Springs participated and were asked to judge, using a purpose-designed attitude scale, 12 photo - graphs of male and female peers wearing a behind the ear hearing aid, or a bone conductor hearing aid or wearing no hearing aids. The results indicated that the more visible the hearing aid, the more negatively the adolescents viewed the individual. There was also a trend towards a response bias as a function of the gender of the hearing-aid user. Interestingly, it was found that a brief intervention explaining the benefits of hearing aids provided some desensitisation to the bias of the HAE indicated by reduced stigma in participants.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123229055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study presents a unique methodology to elaborate on auditory habituation over time with the acquisition of evoked potentials. Subjects were presented with clicks at a rate of 1 per second for 90 min. Each subject listened to a total of 5400 click stimuli (trials). A time epoch of 500 ms was used and each trial was digitised at a sample rate of 12,800 samples per second. The trials were individually saved and 4401 evoked potentials were obtained offline using a moving average of 1000 trials (1-1000; 2-1001, and so on). A unique paradigm was developed, which allowed the early, middle and late components of the auditory evoked potential to be acquired simultaneously and also permitted the study of amplitude and latency interdifferences between the evoked potentials in order to observe the progression of habituation. Amplitude changes occurred as the subject progressed through various states of alertness and attentiveness. The results of the study indicated that the habituation process modulates the waveform at different response latencies over a 90 minute time period. Similar patterns were found for all subjects in the sample. The habituation was found to be the greatest for the late evoked potentials, in agreement with the involvement of higher order functioning related to structures such as the frontal cortex and auditory regions of the hippocampus. The middle latency components were also found to be affected by the process of habituation, with visible amplitude and latency changes, while only modest changes were observed in the auditory brainstem response components over the 90 minute time period. This implies that within the auditory pathway and the entire auditory evoked potential there is a follow on or cumulative effect of habituation that increases within the sampled time epoch during auditory habituation and attention fluctuations.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121739846","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Functional imaging has suggested that the degree of cortical reorganisation following hearing loss contributes to tinnitus severity (Muhlnickel, Elbert, Taub, and Flor, 1998) while more severe tinnitus has also been associated with gently sloping audiograms (Weisz, Voss, Berg, and Elbert, 2004). This study related results for two self-report questionnaires, the Tinnitus Handicap Questionnaire (THQ) (Kuk, Tyler, Russell, and Jordan, 1990) and the Tinnitus Severity Index (TSI) (Meikle, Griest, Stewart, and Press, 1995) to audiometric results from 79 patients attending a tinnitus clinic. The TSI did not show a statistically significant correlation with any variables obtained from the audiogram. The Tinnitus Handicap Questionnaire score was correlated to aspects of the pure tone audiometry in particular elevated low frequency thresholds were correlated with greater tinnitus handicap. The relationship between hearing loss and measures of tinnitus impact are discussed.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116885348","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
