    The effect of language knowledge on speech perception in children with impaired hearing
    Sarant, J. Z. ; Blamey, P. J. ; Clark, Graeme M. ( 1996)
    Open-set words and sentences were used to assess auditory speech perception of three hearing-impaired children aged 9 to 15 years using the Nucleus 22channel cochlear implant. Vocabulary and syntax used in the tests were assessed following the initial perception tests. Remediation was given in specific vocabulary and syntactic areas, chosen separately for each child, and the children were reassessed. Two children showed a significant post-remediation improvement in their overall scores on the syntactic test and both perception measures. The third child who was older, had the best language knowledge and the lowest auditory speech perception scores, showed no significant change on any of the measures. Language remediation in specific areas of weakness may be the quickest way to enhance speech perception for some children with impaired hearing in this age range.
