The aim of this study was to develop a children's version of the Cantonese Hearing in Noise Test (CHINT-C). This was accomplished in two stages. First, a total of 120 sentences understood by children aged 6-7 years were selected from the original pool of CHINT sentences and were grouped into 12 lists, each containing 10 sentences composed of 10 characters. Following this, 260 primary and secondary school children, with ages ranging from 6 to 17 years, and 21 adults of age 18 or older were administered the CHINT-C to determine its reliability/validity, normative data, and age-specific correction factors. The result showed good interlist reliability, and test-retest reliability for the CHINT-C. The speech perception skills assessed using the CHINT-C do not reach adult level until after 11-13 years of age. Correction factors were established that could be used to determine age-specific norms for the evaluation of speech intelligibility of children in various sound fields.

Teacher implementation of an individualised vocabulary intervention programme for dual language learners in a preschool classroom.
Int J Speech Lang Pathol
November 2024
Department of Psychology and Neuroscience, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, CO, USA.
Purpose: This study explored the feasibility of implementing an individualised vocabulary intervention for dual language learners through teachers, who leverage their knowledge about their students to address each child's diverse needs.
Method: Participants were 32 Cantonese-English pre-school dual language learners and 16 teacher implementers from eight classrooms of a Head Start Programme. During the 3-week programme, teacher implementers were given an individualised set of 12 target words for each student.
Evaluating psychometric properties of the Cantonese integrated Digit-in-Noise Test: perhaps the 2-digit sequence can also be used for hearing screening.
Int J Audiol

Faculty of Education, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China.
Objective: This study developed and validated the Cantonese integrated Digit-in-Noise Test (iDIN) for speech-in-noise measurement and hearing screening.
Design: The development of the Cantonese iDIN followed the International Collegium of Rehabilitative Audiology guidelines. Its psychometric properties, including normative data, psychometric function, test-retest reliability, and criterion validity, were established.
Cross-Linguistic Analysis of Speech Markers: Insights from English, Chinese, and Italian Speakers.

Cross-linguistic studies with healthy individuals are vital, as they can reveal typologically common and different patterns while providing tailored benchmarks for patient studies. Nevertheless, cross-linguistic differences in narrative speech production, particularly among speakers of languages belonging to distinct language families, have been inadequately investigated. Using a picture description task, we analyze cross-linguistic variations in connected speech production across three linguistically diverse groups of cognitively normal participants-English, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), and Italian speakers.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the novel word learning skills between Cantonese-English bilingual children at risk for developmental language disorder (DLD) and their typically developing (TD) peers.
Method: Participants were 24 Cantonese-English bilingual preschool children at risk for DLD and 38 TD children. Each participant was presented with eight novel words in Cantonese (first language [L1]) and eight in English (second language [L2]) over eight weekly sessions.
Is video interpretation compromising care for the hearing loss population?

Objective: The convergence of hearing impairment and language barriers presents unique communication challenges to patients and practicing otolaryngologists. Limited data exist comparing interpretation methods for patients with hearing loss. Patients with hearing loss rely on visual cues, lip-reading, written communication, and/or comprehensive interaction techniques, which may encounter limitations by remote services.
