PROGRAM SESSIONS Research Issues Across the Discipline (Audiology) 0190 FR 8:00AM-9:00AM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/350-351 Children With Unilateral Hearing Loss: Prevalence, Outcomes, & Case Definition Danielle S. Ross, Ctrs for Disease Control & Prevention, Atlanta, GA; Susanna Visser, Ctrs for Disease Control & Prevention, Atlanta, GA; W. June Holstrum, Ctrs for Disease Control & Prevention, Atlanta, GA; Tielin Qin, Ctrs for Disease Control & Prevention, Atlanta, GA; Aileen Kenneson, McKing Consulting, Fairfax, VA Studies on prevalence and/or outcomes of children with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) are based on different case definitions of UHL, with varying threshold levels and frequencies used in calculating pure tone averages (PTA). This study shows how population-based prevalence estimates and results of standardized testing of schoolaged children with UHL can vary considerably with slight variations in UHL case definition. Treatment of Hearing Loss and (Central) Auditory Processing Disorders in Children: (Re)habilitation and Educational Issues (Audiology) 0194 FR 10:30AM-11:30AM, Seminar 1 HR, CC/347 Long-Term Speech & Language Performance for Children With Cochlear Implants Camille Dunn, U of Iowa, Iowa City, IA; Elizabeth Walker, U of Iowa, Iowa City, IA; Maura Kenworthy, U of Iowa, Iowa City, IA; Tanya Van Voorst, U of Iowa, Iowa City, IA; Bruce Gantz, U of Iowa, Iowa City, IA The number of children receiving cochlear implants (CIs) continues to rise, but few reports have demonstrated long-term stability of outcomes. Examining performance over time is important in verifying long-term effects. Longitudinal data were analyzed on children with eight years or more CI experience. Results indicate growth up to six years post-implantation with stable results thereafter; better performance was shown for children implanted before age two; and more residual hearing positively correlates to better performance. FR 9:45AM-10:00AM, Technical, CC/350-351 Speech Production Treatment in Children With Hearing Loss: A Review Sheila Pratt, U of Pittsburgh/VA Pittsburgh Healthcare System, Pittsburgh, PA The literature documenting the evidence for treating speech production in children with hearing loss will be reviewed. Peer-reviewed publications were evaluated according to the categories used by the ANCDS Aphasia Writing Committee. A moderate number of published studies (N = 49) was found, but nearly all consisted of case studies, single-subject designs, or within-group designs with no controls. Most of the studies documented a positive treatment effect, although all but five produced data that were pre-efficacious in type. 0199 Poster Board 365 FR 8:00AM-9:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G A Clinical Pediatric (C)APD Profile Thomas Zalewski, Bloomsburg U, Bloomsburg, PA; Nicole Leonzi, Bloomsburg University, Bloomsburg, PA; David Flynn, Bloomsburg University, Bloomsburg, PA FR 3:30PM-5:30PM, Seminar 2 HR, CC/347 Is Modality Specificity Neuroanatomically & Neurophysiologically Tenable? Dennis McFarland, Wadsworth Labs, NYS Hlth Dept, Albany, NY; Amy Poremba, U of Iowa, Iowa City, IA; Teri Bellis, U of South Dakota, Vermillion, SD; Anthony Cacace, Wayne St U, Detroit, MI This session was developed by the Convention Program Committee. Auditory processing disorder has been a lightning rod for controversy, due in part to different viewpoints and definitions. While differences exist in views and testing strategies, some experts have argued that modality specificity is neuroanatomically and neurophysiologically untenable; other experts directly challenge this claim. This invited session will provide the arguments for and against the use of modality specificity as a way to improve the diagnosis of CAPD/APD. Audience participation will be encouraged. FR 1:00PM-3:00PM, Seminar 2 HR, CC/347 Current Frequency-Lowering Options in Hearing Aids Joshua Alexander, Boys Town Natl Research Hosp, Omaha, NE This session was developed by the Convention Program Committee. The importance of high-frequency speech information, especially for children learning speech and language, will be highlighted, along with critical differences between frequency-lowering technologies that might influence their candidacy and benefit. Clinical cases demonstrating decision-making processes with regard to selection of the different technologies, selection of parameters within each technology, and real ear verification will be also discussed. Friday, november 20, 2009 0200 Poster Board 366 FR 10:00AM-11:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G Novel Word Learning in Children With Hearing Impairment & Typical Hearing Matthew Clark, Marshall U, Huntington, WV; Mary Reynolds, Marshall U, Huntington, WV audioLogY 0201 Poster Board 367 FR 1:00PM-2:30PM, Poster, CC/Hall G Remediation of an Acquired (C)APD in a LandauKleffner Syndrome Patient Annette Hurley, Louisiana St U Hlth Scis Ctr, New Orleans, LA; Raymond Hurley, U of South Florida, Tampa, FL 0192 Poster Board 361 FR 8:00AM-9:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G Effects of CRM Bandwidth on Spatial Awareness: Individuals with SNHL Brian Kreisman, Towson U, Towson, MD 0193 Poster Board 362 FR 10:00AM-11:30AM, Poster, CC/Hall G ToM & Emotion Recognition in Children With Hearing Loss Heather Porter, Vanderbilt U, Nashville, TN; Anne Marie Tharpe, Vanderbilt U, Nashville, TN; Douglas Sladen, U of Texas - Austin, Austin, TX; Daniel Ashmead, Vanderbilt U, Nashville, TN; Mary Pat Moeller, Boys Town Natl Research Hosp, Omaha, NE; C. Melanie Schuele, Vanderbilt U, Nashville, TN FR 1:00PM-3:00PM, Seminar 2 HR, CC/350-351 (C)APD & Traumatic Brain Injury: Multidisciplinary Evaluation & Treatment Frank E. Musiek, U of Connecticut, Storrs, CT; Gail Chermak, Washington St U, Pullman, WA; Carole R. Roth, Naval Med Ctr - San Diego, San Diego, CA; Teri Bellis, U of South Dakota, Vermillion, SD Millions of closed-head injuries occur each year, many resulting from motor vehicle and motorcycle accidents as well as the ongoing military involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. A multidisciplinary overview of the potential impact of traumatic brain injury (TBI) on central auditory processing and cognitive-communicative function is provided. Behavioral tests and electrophysiological procedures to assess the central auditory nervous system and instruments to assess cognitive-communicative function are described. Multidisciplinary treatment considerations and strategies are outlined. 0202 Poster Board 368 FR 3:00PM-4:30PM, Poster, CC/Hall G A Comparison of the Frequency Response of Classroom Amplification Loudspeakers Chris Curtis, Utah State University, Logan, Utah; Jeffery Larsen, Utah State University, Logan, Utah FR 9:30AM-9:45AM, Technical, CC/350-351 Preparing Future SLPs for Management of Individuals With Cochlear Implants Rebecca Davis, Southeastern Louisiana U, Hammond, LA Recent literature regarding professional preparedness in the area of cochlear implant management has surfaced. As use of cochlear implant technology increases, the need for professionals who are trained to work with this population also grows, but evidence suggests that working professionals feel largely unprepared. This session will present a study that looks at graduate training programs in one state and how adequately they are preparing future SLPs to work with this population.
