Historically, speech-language pathology was formed by integrating multiple disciplines including elocution, psychology, medicine, linguistics, education and communication. Similarly, my passion for the field of speech-language pathology is an integration of teachings from my academic and professional career. Many ideas come to mind when I reflect on the statement, “Speech-language pathology is a science-based clinical service profession.” To best explain what this statement means to me, I will give
In the Tiffany case study titled, She Just Stopped Talking, Tiffany’s parents describe how their daughter’s normal language development halted after an ear infection. Tiffany’s communicative behavior was on par with what is considered normal language development. However, months after her first birthday, Tiffany began to show signs of an ear infection that developed into what is known as Otitis Media with effusion. This infection heavily impacted Tiffany’s language development, causing much distress
I am here to explain an ultrasound, so that way you are not nervous. First, there are different types of sound waves, and how they travel. There are transverse, longitudinal, and surface waves. The transverse waves are a mechanical wave which means that the wave travels like an S- wave sideways. Longitudinal waves travel parallel to the direction the wave travels. When the longitudinal wave travels it compresses through the particles in the medium that it passes through. Longitudinal waves are like
There is a lot of controversy over music, musical genres, and the volume that music is played at, but the indirect effects of excessive volume are frequently overlooked. One novel helps illustrate these effects when caused by ear equipment. Contemporary earbuds as well as “seashells” in a book called Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury often lead to hearing loss, which leads to less socializing, and therefore physical and medical problems. Earbuds today are the same as seashells in Fahrenheit 451. It
I agree with this statement. The purpose of the regulation was to keep peace with RAR because the city's final desire was to deliver a good show to the public but at the same time, it wanted to maintain the individual rights of the community and the residences close to the bandshell. "The record indicates that inadequate sound amplification has had an adverse affect on the ability of some audiences to hear and enjoy performances at the bandshell." That is why the city wished to sort out this problem
the produced vowel, typically vowels are between 0 to 3000 Hz. Due to Ms. Noid’s persistent “severe hoarseness and breathiness” and reduced glottal closure, the power spectrum will display a continuous spectrum and interharmonic energy. The three acoustic measures used to quantify Ms. Noid’s vocal roughness
AIM 1- Identifying the role of CB1R in determining the critical periods for different sound features in mice in vivo Aim 1.1: What are the critical periods for frequency and amplitude modulated sweeps in mice? Using voltage sensitive dye imaging we will locate the area of interest in the AC. With single-unit electrophysiology and sensory manipulation by sound exposure we propose to find the layer in AC which is most sensitive during developmental plasticity. Aim 1.2: When does the shift in GABA release

Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 43(3), 359-369. doi:10.1044/0161-1461(2012/11-0038) The objective of this study was to determine the outcomes of a simple syllable-timed speech treatment for school-aged children with a stutter. The researchers aimed to uncover whether syllable-timed speech
Scientific investigations have been done to show the effects of certain sounds on wasps. Special equipment was used to produce sounds of different frequencies. This investigation was done inside specially constructed glass wasp nests. Each sound was kept at the same loudness during the investigation. Interpret the table below to learn the results of the investigations. Sound Frequency (Hertz (Hz) = cycles per second Change in Activity Level 30 Hz to 400 Hz Normal activity level stayed the same
Problem Statement Altered auditory feedback (AAF) is a system used by people who stutter that provides a speech signal to the brain that allows the speaker to perceive their voice differently There are several types of AAF, including DAF (delayed auditory feedback), frequently altered feedback (FAF), and masking auditory feedback (MAF). AAF has been found to reduce speaking rates, decrease stuttering frequency and increase speech naturalness. According to the research examined criteria to determine
