Temperament in Toddlers With and Without Prelingual Hearing Loss
CONCLUSIONS: This was the first study to measure temperament in toddlers with prelingual hearing loss using the ECBQ. Our results revealed differences between children with and without prelingual hearing loss centering on the dimension of surgency. Examining differences in temperament during the toddler period of development may be particularly important and useful for predicting functional outcomes following prelingual hearing loss.PMID:37992410 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00182 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Voice Discrimination in Quiet and in Background Noise by Simulated and Real Cochlear Implant Users
CONCLUSIONS: For NH listeners who listen to CI simulations, noise that allows good SRT can nevertheless impede VD, probably because VD depends more on bottom-up sensory processing. Conversely, for prelingually deaf CI users, noise that allows good SRT hardly affects VD, suggesting that they rely strongly on bottom-up processing for both VD and speech recognition.PMID:37992412 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00019 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Do Adult Na ïve Listeners Perceive Differences in Speech Before and After Therapy for Cleft Palate Speech Disorders? A Reliability Study of Perceptual Speech Ratings
CONCLUSIONS: Adult naïve listeners perceptually identified an improvement in different speech variables after 10 hr of cleft palate speech therapy. These findings confirm previous assessments of expert speech-language pathologists and suggest that speech improvements after cleft palate speech therapy can also be perceived by communication partners outside the therapy room. Perceptual ratings of naïve listeners can, thus, be used to add life-situation significance to the assessments of experts. Future research could include both expert raters and caregivers or relatives of children with a CP ± L in listening panels, as p...

Test-Retest Reliability of Behavioral Assays of Feedforward and Feedback Auditory-Motor Control of Voice and Articulation
CONCLUSIONS: Individual responses to some behavioral assays of auditory-motor control of speech should be interpreted with caution, which has implications for several fields of research. Additional research is needed to establish reliable criterion-referenced measures of F1 adaptive responses as well as fo and F1 reflexive responses. Furthermore, the opposite patterns of test-retest reliability observed for voice versus articulation add to growing evidence for differences in underlying neural control mechanisms.PMID:37992404 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00038 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

The Impact of Stimulus Length in Tongue and Lip Movement Pattern Stability in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
CONCLUSIONS: Articulatory stability is influenced by the length of speech signals and manifests similarly in both healthy speakers and persons with ALS. TT stability may be significantly impacted by phonemic content due to greater movement flexibility. Compared to healthy controls, there was an increase in articulatory variability in those with ALS, which likely reflects deviations in speech motor control.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24463924.PMID:37988653 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00079 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Evaluation of Lifetime Noise Exposure History Reporting
CONCLUSIONS: We propose several recommendations for determining the LNEH. First, it is vital to define accurate loudness categories and corresponding allocated levels, with a preference for the loudness levels proposed by Ferguson et al. (2019), as identified in this study. Second, a structured questionnaire regarding LNEH is recommended, discouraging open-ended questioning. Third, it is essential to include a separate category exclusively addressing work-related activities, encompassing various activities for more accurate surveying.PMID:37988687 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00266 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and ...

Attributes That Increase Vulnerabilities to Reduced Human Milk Feeding Outcomes Among Babies With Cleft Lip and Palate in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
CONCLUSIONS: Results indicated that, as a function of human milk feeding at discharge, mothers and their infants admitted to the NICU with CL ± P exhibited differences across infant and maternal factors. These findings further our understanding of this sample of mothers and infants with CL ± P while potentially identifying determinants to human milk feeding. This study provides insight into infant and maternal characteristics that may be associated with barriers to human milk feeding.PMID:37983129 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00367 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Recognition of Speech With Dynamic Pitch Manipulation in Noise: Effects of Manipulation Methods
CONCLUSIONS: The asymmetrical manipulation of dynamic pitch had a less negative effect than the symmetrical manipulation. This effect also interacted with pitch-change direction. These findings suggest the influence of perceptual naturalness on speech recognition with signal modification. Directions for future research are also discussed.PMID:37983169 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00142 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Acoustics of Breath Noises in Human Speech: Descriptive and Three-Dimensional Modeling Approaches
CONCLUSIONS: Inhalation is realized on ingressive airflow, and inhalation noises have specific resonance properties that are most similar to /ə/ but occur without phonation. Airflow direction does not play a role in this specific VT configuration, but subglottal resonances may do. For future work, we suggest investigating the articulation of speech breathing and link it to current work on pause postures.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24520585.PMID:37971432 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00112 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)

Electrical Stimulation of Vocal Fold Adduction Triggered by Laryngeal Electromyography Using a Custom Implant
CONCLUSIONS: Using a custom implant system, we demonstrated real-time closed-loop stimulation of one VF triggered by the activation of the contralateral VF. This approach could potentially restore dynamic glottic closure for reflexive behaviors or phonation in cases of unilateral VF paralysis with synkinetic reinnervation.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.24492133.PMID:37971489 | DOI:10.1044/2023_JSLHR-23-00377 (Source: Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR)
