It will begin with a mock presentation of an existing code that was previously approved. We will develop the application, make a presentation to the CPT Editorial Panel, and complete the valuation survey. We will seek audience participation to play the role of the AMA valuation committee to show what happens in determining the final value. Questions from the audience are invited. Issues in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Populations (Audiology) 0178 FR 8:00AM-9:00AM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/345 Humanitarian Audiology: Project Deaf India-Challenges & Opportunities David Citron, III, South Shore Hearing Ctr, South Weymouth, MA; Louise G. Citron, South Shore Hearing Ctr, South Weymouth, MA This session will describe the implementation of a newborn hearing screening program in Goa, India. Local infrastructure challenges, cultural issues, equipment funding, and a comprehensive follow-up plan for diagnostic audiological management and hearing aid fitting will be discussed. The importance of local Rotary Clubs and the Rotary Foundation as mission partners will also be addressed. FR 10:00AM-10:15AM, Technical, CC/350-351 Objective & Subjective Measures of Temporally Degraded Speech in Non-Native Listeners Nadia Farooq, Long Island U - Brooklyn, Brooklyn, NY; Lu Shi, Long Island U - Brooklyn, Brooklyn, NY Non-native listeners have difficulty perceiving degraded English speech. In the current study, English paragraphs from the Connected Speech Test were temporally manipulated and presented in quiet and in noise. Analyses were based on listeners' recognition of key words, subjective rating of the clarity/fastness of the paragraphs, and listeners' self-perceived confidence in their performance. These findings were further interpreted in light of listeners' linguistic background, obtained through the Language Experience and Proficiency Questionnaire. Pediatric Diagnostics 0182 FR 8:00AM-9:00AM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/349 How Young Can Children's Auditory Skills Be Assessed? Donna Geffner, St. John's U, Queens, NY; Ronald Goldman, Retired, Birmingham, AL: Kristi Yanta, Pearson Assessment, Bloomington, MN This study attempted to determine whether there are means by which young children's auditory skills could be measured. Children ages 3;6-6;11 were selected and presented with a battery of various auditory skills, including discrimination and temporal integration tasks. After a trial with 400 children across cultural and demographic domains, only a few auditory tasks were reliable. This study will present the outcome of the study and compare it to the body of literature already in existence. Hearing Science 0174 Poster Board 352 Friday, november 20, 2009 FR 8:00AM-9:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G The Effect of Visual Feedback on Preferred iPod Listening Levels Carrie Knox, James Madison U, Harrisonburg, VA; Dan Halling, James Madison U, Harrisonburg, VA; Emil Salib, James Madison U, Harrisonburg, VA FR 8:00AM-9:00AM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/346 Perception of Foreign-Accented Speech by Older Adults Sarah Hargus Ferguson, U of Kansas, Lawrence, KS Older adults with hearing loss often complain of difficulty understanding speech produced by non-native speakers of English. This session will discuss several recent studies exploring how older adults perceive foreign-accented speech. The studies include interviews with residents of long-term-care facilities regarding communication, as well as experiments assessing older and younger adults' perception of native-produced and accented speech in terms of word identification abilities and subjective ratings of accentedness and comprehensibility. audioLogY 0175 Poster Board 353 FR 8:00AM-9:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G Effect of Different Stimulus Conditions on Acceptable Noise Levels Susan Gordon-Hickey, U of South Alabama, Mobile, AL; Ashley Dockens, University of South Alabama, Mobile, AL; Elizabeth Adams, U of South Alabama, Mobile, AL; Robert Moore, U of South Alabama, Mobile, AL FR 1:00PM-2:00PM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/349 Tympanometric Norms in the Native American Population Paul Brueggeman, Children’s Care Hosp & Sch, Sioux Falls, SD; Samuel Atcherson, Univ of AR at Little Rock, Univ of AR for Medical Sciences, Little Rock, AR It is well documented that Native American children have a much higher incidence of otitis media. What is less understood are the reasons this occurs. This presentation will provide attendees with an overview of the current scientific knowledge base related to middle ear function in Native American children, as well as the results of an investigation that compared normal middle ear function in a cohort of Native American with existing norms from Caucasian children. FR 9:30AM-10:30AM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/349 The NICU Infant: An Interdisciplinary Approach to 1-3-6 Kelly Baroch, Cincinnati Children's Hosp Med Ctr, Cincinnati, OH The 1-3-6 timeline for identification and intervention of hearing loss often proves elusive in the chronically ill NICU infant. However, this goal can be achieved utilizing an interdisciplinary approach among audiologist, speech-language pathologist, medical team, and family. Interventions, traditionally provided on an outpatient basis, must be adapted to fit the needs of the hospitalized infant. In this presentation, the components of a wellrounded, family-centered infant hearing program in the NICU will be outlined. 0176 Poster Board 354 FR 1:00PM-2:30PM, Poster, CC/Hall G Impact of Noise on Reaction Time Using Psychomotor Vigilance Task Megan Anders Cates, U of Arkansas for Med Scis, Little Rock, AR; Nannette Nicholson, U of Arkansas for Med Scis, Little Rock, AR; Patti Martin, Arkansas Children's Hosp, Little Rock, AR; Laura Smith-Olinde, U of Arkansas for Med Scis, Little Rock, AR 0177 Poster Board 355 FR 1:00PM-2:30PM, Poster, CC/Hall G Predictability & Neighborhood Density Affect Neural Word Processing in Noise Susan Fulton, U of South Florida, Tampa, FL; Nathan Maxfield, U of South Florida, Tampa, FL; Jennifer Lister, U of South Florida, Tampa, FL ASHA 2009 x Exhibits & pro gr am sEssions guidE
