Chapter 5Auditory Only Training Perry C. Hanavan, Au.D.
??????? “You have to hear what you don’t hear to know what you don’t want to hear.”
Factoid • 40% of 170 pediatric SNHL in study had structural peripheral auditory abnormalities diagnosed with MRI • May not have complete audibility even with best hearing aids • 50% had mal-functioning issues with hearing aids • Battery • Earmold • FM connection
Auditory Training • Utilize residual hearing • Emphasizing that the primary therapeutic goal is training the mind to be aware of, attend to, and use sound. • Speech and language activities are founded in this mental training. • To help integrate listening into one’s development of communication and social skills • To help monitor one’s own voices and the voices of others in order to enhance the intelligibility of spoken language • Utilize residual hearing with amplification and/or cochlear implant, and hearing assistance technologies
Words Understood Note: Between ages 5 and 6, children are learning about 28 words a day
Hearing Loss Impact on Phonological Processes • Vowel substitutions • Deletion of unstressed syllable – “di(na)sour” • Deletion of initial syllable of word – (e)lephant • Vowel insertion - “cuppa” for “cup” • Cluster reduction – “fower” for “flower” • Final consonant sound deletion – “cu” for “cup”
Plurals Sounds like “s” (cats) Sounds like “z” (dogs) Sounds like “es” (horses) Suffixes and Prefixes Friendly, happiness Widest, toxic Disable, misbehave At-Risk Language Components in Children with Hearing Loss

Question Which of the following is NOT an auditory skill level? • Detection • Discrimination • Recognition • Comprehension • Transformation
Auditory Skill Awareness, detection Discrimination Identification Comprehension Stimuli Phonetic level Sentence level Activity Type Formal Informal Difficulty Level Response type Closed, limited, open Stimulus unit Words, phrases, sentences Stimulus similarity Contextual support Task structure Highly structured, spontaneous Listening conditions Four Design Principles
1. Auditory Skill Level • Awareness/Detection • Presence/absence of sound • Discrimination • Same/different • Identification • Recognition/labeling • Comprehension • Understanding/meaning detection discrimination identification comprehension
Question Analytic works on the— • Phoneme level • Sentence level • Paragraph level • None of the above
2. Stimulus Units • Analytic • Phoneme, syllable, word • Individual auditory cues • Synthetic • Sentence, communication discourse • Meaning of utterance analytic synthetic
Question The analytic approach typically begins with: • Consonants • Vowels • Diphthongs • Syllables • Words
Analytic Auditory Approach Two primary objectives often targeted in analytic approach • Vowels • More intensity in lower frequencies, thus more audible to most • Vowel formants: back, front, central, high, mid, low • Consonants • Focus on place, manner and voicing characteristics
Question The first 2 formants are all below: • 1000 Hz • 2000 Hz • 3000 Hz • 500 Hz • 250 Hz
Audibility Assessment UWO Plurals Test Phonak Logatom Test Mr. Potato Head Test PBK BKB-SIN Cincinnati Auditory Test CHAPS SIFTER FLE LENA CAEP
Auditory Assessment Examples • Segmental-word: Early Speech Perception • Segmental-vowel: Early Speech Perception, Ling • Segmental-consonant: Minimal Pairs Test, Ling • Connected Speech – Mr. Potato Head Test, Common Phrase Tests (synthetic)
3. Activity Kind • Informal Training • Occurs as part of the daily routine • Often incorporated into other activities • Formal • Highly structured • Usually one-on-one training formal informal
4. Difficulty Level easy hard • Stimulus set • Stimulus unit • Stimulus similarity • Context • Task • SNR closed limited open phoneme syllable word sentence dissimilar similar high low structured spontaneous good poor

Brain Plasticity • Ability of brain to change • Learning possible
Plasticity • Physiological changes in the CNS (and PNS – auditory nerve) that occurs from sensory experiences • Brain’s ability to reorganize space • Benefit from HA, CI, HATs may need to be measured at later date • Brain may continue to acclimate for several years following HA, CI, HAT, therapy
Auditory Reorganization/Plasticity Cochlear dead regions Brain reorganization will occur with damage to regions of the cochlea
Hierarchy of Listening Tasks • Familiar expressions/common phrases • Single directions/two directions • Classroom instructions • Sequencing three directions • Multielement directions • Sequencing three events in a story • Answering questions about a story • Comprehension activities/exercises in noisy environs • Onomatopoeic words • (Estabrooks, 1994)
