Because of limited initial data about the hearing loss of children and the difficulties in getting an optimal prescription, every fitting has to incorporate a procedure verifying or validating the final fitting. Fitting hearing aids should be focused on optimal speech recognition, even in children with very severe or profound hearing loss. When the MTS test is used, it is possible to optimize the gain and frequency response that gives the best possible prospects for speech recognition. The abilities for speech perception are a function of the PTA. For a hearing loss exceeding about 110 dB there are hardly any possibilities for adequate speech perception with hearing aids. Also, training on basal sound identification abilities shows no improvements. This is in contrast to hearing aid users with PTA between 90 and 110 dB.

Three studies are summarized which show the potential value of tactile aids for the development of improved speech production skills by profoundly deaf children. The first study examined the use of a tactile display of high frequency speech energy (2-7 kHz). The results obtained showed greatly improved discrimination when the tactile display supplemented hearing aid use. In the second study an 18-year-old profoundly deaf man was provided with speech training using tactile aids to provide modeling and feedback. Recordings made pre- and post-training of the subject's productions of consonants in /aCa/ and simple sentences were played to panels of normal hearing listeners. The results showed large improvements in the post-training tokens. The final study outlines the results of speech training with tactile aids provided to a large group of deaf children.

This pilot investigation was undertaken to determine if there were any measurable changes in laryngeal function when comparing pre and post operative status with regard to cochlear implant surgery. The subjects, all totally deafened adults with varying aetiologies, were unable to monitor speech/voice production acoustically prior to surgery. The study aimed to evaluate whether change was effected to laryngeal function, and therefore voice quality, once an auditory feedback loop had been re-established and no direct therapeutic intervention had taken place. All the subjects were implanted with a multi-channel cochlear implant device (Nucleus 22: SPEAK strategy). Results indicate that a significant change can be measured in laryngeal function when comparing pre and post operative status of cochlear implant surgery. Furthermore, the assessment of laryngeal function identifies the source of acoustic findings which facilitates effective management of voice quality during rehabilitation following cochlear implantation.
