Speech Perception Training: Advanced Scoring and Feedback Methods
Hearing Loss
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Hearing Loss focused on measuring lipreading speechreading, perceptual learning, adults with acquired hearing loss, multisensory speech processing, remote training system, speech recognition in noise, perceptual feedback during training

Aim 1, Sentence Training: Sentence Feedback
Aim 1, Sentence Training: Word Feedback
Aim 1, Sentence Training: Consonant Feedback

Aim 3, Audiovisual Nonsense Word Training
Aim 3, Audiovisual Sentence Training
In Aim 1, which is sentence lipreading training, the intervention compares the provision of three different types of feedback for lipreading. This arm gives printed whole sentence feedback following an attempt to lipread each sentence. Participants receive pre- and post-training tests.
In Aim 1, which is sentence lipreading training, the intervention compares the provision of three different types of feedback for lipreading. This arm gives printed whole word feedback following an attempt to lipread each sentence. Word feedback is for correct words and words that are perceptually similar but incorrect responses. Participants receive pre- and post-training tests.
In Aim 1, which is sentence lipreading training, the intervention compares the provision of three different types of feedback for lipreading. This arm gives printed consonant word feedback following an attempt to lipread each sentence. Word feedback is for correct words, but only the consonants are given as feedback for words that are perceptually similar but incorrect responses. Participants receive pre- and post-training tests.
Participants receive only the pre- and post-training tests.
Participants train to lipread nonsense words that name nonsense pictures. Participants receive pre- and post-training tests.
Participants train to recognize audiovisual spoken nonsense words that name nonsense pictures and are presented in speech-shaped noise. The paradigm is the same as in Aim 2. Participants receive pre- and post-training tests.
Participants receive the same training paradigm from Aim 1 with the most effective feedback type from Aim 1. But the sentences are audiovisual and in speech-shaped noise. Participants receive pre- and post-training tests.
