Outline of Final Research Achievements

Children who wear hearing-aids or cochlear implants perceive speech information through auditory and visual modes. It is well known that when their hearing disability is severe, degree of dependence on visual information by lip-reading and/or sign language is getting higher. In order to develop hearing-aid and cochlear implant evaluation methods and to explore auditory/visual support for them, auditory and visual speech perception abilities were measured. In this study percent correct scores and reaction times were used as indexes to show the effects.
