Effet de l'age ; Maturation ; Mesure comportementale ; Profondeur de traitementRésumé : Objectives: A clinically viable measure of listening effort is crucial in safeguarding the educational success of hard-of-hearing students enrolled in mainstream schools. To this end, a novel behavioral paradigm of listening effort targeting school-age children has been designed and reported in Hsu et al. (2017). The current article consists of two follow-up experiments investigating the effects of noise, processing depth, and age in a similar paradigm, first in a group of participants with normal hearing (NH) followed by a sample of school-age cochlear implant (CI) users. Research objectives include the construction of normative values of listening effort and comparing outcomes between age-matched NH and CI participants.
Design: In Experiment 1, the listening effort dual-task paradigm was evaluated in a group of 90 NH participants with roughly even age distribution between 6 and 26 years. The primary task asked a participant to verbally repeat each of the target words presented in either quiet or noise, while the secondary task consisted of categorization true-or-false questions "animal" and "dangerous," representing two levels of semantic processing depth. Two outcome measures were obtained for each condition: a classic word recognition score (WRS) and an average response time (RT) measured during the secondary task. The RT was defined as the main listening effort metric throughout the study. Each NH participant's long-term memory retrieval speed and working memory capacity were also assessed through standardized tests. It was hypothesized that adding noise would negatively affect both WRS and RT, whereas an increase in age would see significant improvement in both measures. A subsequent Experiment 2 administered a shortened version of the paradigm to 14 school-age CI users between 5 and 14 years old at a university clinic. The patterns of results from the CI group were expected to approximate those of the NH group, except with larger between-subject variability.
Results: For NH participants, while WRS was significantly affected by age and noise levels, RT was significantly affected by age, noise levels, and depth of processing. RT was significantly correlated with long-term memory retrieval speed but not with working memory capacity. There was also a significant interaction effect between age and noise levels for both WRS and RT. The RT data set from the NH group served as a basis to establish age-dependent 95% prediction intervals for expected future observations. For CI participants, the effect of age on the two outcome measures was more visible when target words were presented in quiet. Depending on the condition, between 35.7% and 72.7% of the children with CI exhibited higher-than-norms listening effort as measured by categorization processing times.
Conclusion: Listening effort appears to decrease with age from early school-age years to late teenage years. The effects of background noise and processing depth are comparable with those reported in Hsu et al. (2017). Future studies interested in expanding the paradigm's clinical viability should focus on the reduction of testing time while maintaining or increasing the sensitivity and external validity of its outcome measures.DOI : 10.1097/AUD.0000000000000953|1 Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=https://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=J [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=273189

Acquisition du vocabulaire ; Implants cochléaires ; Observation du jeune enfantRésumé : Objectives: The data logs of Cochlear Nucleus cochlear implant (CI) sound processors show large interindividual variation in children's daily CI use and auditory environments. This study explored whether these differences are associated with differences in the receptive vocabulary of young implanted children.
Design: Data of 52 prelingually deaf children, who had received a CI before 3 years of age, were obtained from their clinical records. In total, 73 Peabody Picture Vocabulary tests and CI data logs for 1 year preceding each test were collected. The data logs were used to determine the children's average daily amount of CI use and exposure to speech, speech in noise, noise, music, and quiet. In addition, information was collected about other potential predictors of language abilities, namely gender, age, age at implantation, etiology of deafness, educational placement, and implantation mode (unilateral, bilateral). Model selection with Akaike's information criterion was used to determine which data-logging metrics, other variables, and combinations of both best predict receptive vocabulary scores.
Results: The data showed a strong positive association between receptive vocabulary and daily CI use, and a negative association between receptive vocabulary and daily exposure to music. Associations with the data logs' speech and noise metrics were less clear. The most important other variable was educational placement. The best model performance was achieved when data logs and other information were combined.
Conclusions: The results emphasize the importance of consistent CI use and a rich auditory environment for the early language development of young CI users. The study also shows that CI data logs capture information about children's environment and CI use that are related to language performance and can help to detect and address problems and improve the auditory rehabilitation after cochlear implantation.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=256656

Effort d'écouteRésumé : Objectives: A reliable and practical measure of listening effort is crucial in the aural rehabilitation of children with communication disorders. In this article, we propose a novel behavioral paradigm designed to measure listening effort in school-age children based on different depths and levels of verbal processing. The paradigm consists of a classic word recognition task performed in quiet and in noise coupled to one of three additional tasks asking the children to judge the color of simple pictures or a certain semantic category of the presented words. The response time (RT) from the categorization tasks is considered the primary indicator of listening effort.
Design: The listening effort paradigm was evaluated in a group of 31 normal-hearing, normal-developing children 7 to 12 years of age. A total of 146 Dutch nouns were selected for the experiment after surveying 14 local Dutch-speaking children. Windows-based custom software was developed to administer the behavioral paradigm from a conventional laptop computer. A separate touch screen was used as a response interface to gather the RT data from the participants. Verbal repetition of each presented word was scored by the tester and a percentage-correct word recognition score (WRS) was calculated for each condition. Randomized lists of target words were presented in one of three signal to noise ratios (SNR) to examine the effect of background noise on the two outcome measures of WRS and RT. Three novel categorization tasks, each corresponding to a different depth or elaboration level of semantic processing, were developed to examine the effect of processing level on either WRS or RT. It was hypothesized that, while listening effort as measured by RT would be affected by both noise and processing level, WRS performance would be affected by changes in noise level only. The RT measure was also hypothesized to increase more from an increase in noise level in categorization conditions demanding a deeper or more elaborate form of semantic processing.
Results: There was a significant effect of SNR level on school-age childrens WRS: their word recognition performance tended to decrease with increasing background noise level. However, depth of processing did not seem to affect WRS. Moreover, a repeated-measure analysis of variance fitted to transformed RT data revealed that this measure of listening effort in normal-hearing school-age children was significantly affected by both SNR level and the depth of semantic processing. There was no significant interaction between noise level and the type of categorization task with regard to RT.
Conclusions: The observed patterns of WRS and RT supported the hypotheses regarding the effects of background noise and depth of processing on word recognition performance and a behavioral measure of listening effort. The magnitude of noise-induced change in RT did not differ between categorization tasks, however. Our findings point to future research directions regarding the potential effects of age, working memory capacity, and cross-modality interaction when measuring listening effort in different levels of semantic processing.Disponible en ligne : Oui En ligne : https://login.ezproxy.vinci.be/login?url=http://ovidsp.ovid.com/ovidweb.cgi?T=JS [...] Permalink : https://bib.vinci.be/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=216959

Audition dans le bruit ; Implants cochléaires ; Microphone à distance sans fil (RM) ; Perception de la paroleRésumé : The newest Nucleus CI processor, the CP900, has two new options to improve speech-in-noise perception: (1) use of an adaptive directional microphone (SCAN mode) and (2) wireless connection to MiniMic1 and MiniMic2 wireless remote microphones. Design: An analysis was made of the absolute and relative benefits of these technologies in a real-world mimicking test situation. Speech perception was tested using an adaptive speech-in-noise test (sentences-in-babble noise). In session A, SRTs were measured in three conditions: (1) Clinical Map, (2) SCAN and (3) MiniMic1. Each was assessed for three distances between speakers and CI recipient: 1 m, 2 m and 3 m. In session B, the benefit of the use of MiniMic2 was compared to benefit of MiniMic1 at 3 m. Study sample: A group of 13 adult CP900 recipients participated. Results: SCAN and MiniMic1 improved performance compared to the standard microphone with a median improvement in SRT of 2.73.9 dB for SCAN at 1 m and 3 m, respectively, and 4.710.9 dB for the MiniMic1. MiniMic1 improvements were significant. MiniMic2 showed an improvement in SRT of 22.2 dB compared to 10.0 dB for MiniMic1 (3 m). Conclusions: Digital wireless transmission systems (i.e. MiniMic) offer a statistically and clinically significant improvement in speech perception in challenging, realistic listening conditions.
