The Relationship between Measures of Hearing Loss and Speech Intelligibility in Young Deaf Children.
Musselman, Carol Reich
Journal of Childhood Communication Disorders, v13 n2 p193-205 1990
This study of 121 young deaf children identified 3 distinct groups: children with losses of 70-89 decibels developed some intelligible speech, children with losses of 90-104 decibels exhibited considerable variability, and children with losses above 105 decibels developed little intelligible speech. The unaided hearing threshold level was the best predictor of intelligibility. (Author/JDD)
