The Degree of Hearing Loss and Lipreading Ability: An Example for the Doctrine of Sensory Compensation?

ACEHI Journal, v18 n2-3 p110-14 1992

This study found significantly better lipreading scores by 31 children with hearing impairments than by 15 children with normal hearing (all 10 and 11 years old). However, correlations between degree of hearing loss and lipreading ability were nonsignificant. The study provides partial support for the doctrine of sensory compensation. (DB)
