Measuring the ability of children to understand everyday speech using computer technology: A normative study
The present study aimed to standardize The University of Queensland Understanding Everyday Speech Test (UQUEST), a computer-based auditory test for measuring the ability of children to understand everyday speech, for Australian school-aged children. Participants were 41 Grade 3, and 58 Grade 4 students (55 boys/44 girls), attending primary schools in the Brisbane and Sunshine Coast areas. Their mean age was 8.3 years (SD = 0.7). The speech materi…
Assessing the accuracy of production of Cantonese lexical tones: A comparison between perceptual judgement and an instrumental measure
The assessment of the accuracy of Cantonese tone production can be performed by either perceptual judgement or an instrumental measure. The latter method, however, has not been investigated in detail. In particular, the relationship between perceptual judgement and an instrumental measure has not been fully delineated. The present study was undertaken to investigate the relationship between perceptual judgement and instrumental measures of tones.…
Feasibility of establishing an early indicator for ototoxicity in children using otoacoustic emissions
The present study aimed to investigate the feasibility of establishing an early indicator for ototoxicity in children using OAEs. The participants included an experimental group of four pediatric oncology patients (aged 4 to 7 years) undergoing chemotherapy. Participants were tested at least, twice (the first test being the baseline) using pure-tone audiometry, tympanometry, distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) (with stimulus intensi…

Hearing screening for school children with otitis media using otoacoustic emission measures
This study aimed to investigate the feasibility of using a technique other than pure-tone screening audiometry for the identification of slight or greater hearing loss in an urban population of indigenous Australian primary school children. Indigenous children have a higher prevalence of conductive hearing loss, associated with otitis media, than non-indigenous children in the same schools. Transient otoacoustic emission procedures were used as a…
Predicting the understanding of Cantonese connected discourse
Understanding of connected discourse has a high face validity in estimating an individual's ability to understand everyday speech. In situations where a direct measure of connected discourse understanding is not possible, it would be beneficial to be able to predict a person's ability to understand connected discourse from other speech and audiometric parameters. The aim of this study was to predict the understanding of Cantonese connected discou…
