In the course of the experimental laboratory studies it was found out a significant impairment of the communication following a 2-hour processing of speech signals in conditions of masking noise. In order to diminish the auditory exhaustion in impeded communication the authors created physiologically grounded model of the working and resting regime in accordance to the experimental data, which require the including of two breaks in the first half of the working day, i.e. after a two hour exposition to masking noise. The minimal duration of the break at the end of the second hour (according to the experimental data) must be not less than 10 minutes in order to reach the initial or near to it speech communication. The time of the second break may coincide with the regulated lunch-time. The created working and resting regime was approbated in working conditions at DF "Kremikovtsi". It was found out that following the introduction of the physiological regime of work and rest, the auditory exhaustion decreased which was expressed in lowering of the rate of tone-intensity steps.

Purpose: Speech-language Therapists (SLTs) are specialists in communication, feeding and swallowing as core members of the paediatric tracheostomy multidisciplinary team (MDT). Inconsistent tracheostomy care leads to staff and family frustration and delayed intervention. Little is known about international SLT tracheostomy practices.

Hearing in categories and speech perception at the "cocktail party".

PLoS One

January 2025

School of Communication Sciences & Disorders, University of Memphis, Memphis, Tennessee, United States of America.

We aimed to test whether hearing speech in phonetic categories (as opposed to a continuous/gradient fashion) affords benefits to "cocktail party" speech perception. We measured speech perception performance (recognition, localization, and source monitoring) in a simulated 3D cocktail party environment. We manipulated task difficulty by varying the number of additional maskers presented at other spatial locations in the horizontal soundfield (1-4 talkers) and via forward vs.

Background Cognitive-communication disorders are highly prevalent after traumatic brain injury and have significant impacts on rehabilitation outcomes. TBIBank Grand Rounds was developed as an online multimedia resource to support clinical education about cognitive-communication disorders. The objective of this study was to survey speech pathology educators to establish their views towards TBIBank Grand Rounds.

Schizotypy is a multidimensional construct that is composed of positive, negative, and disorganized dimensions. Historically, disorganized schizotypy, which involves disruptions in thoughts, speech, behavior, and affect, has been relatively understudied and less clearly operationalized than the other dimensions. The present study employed experience sampling methodology to examine the associations of positive, negative, and disorganized schizotypy, as measured by the Multidimensional Schizotypy Scale, with daily life experiences.

Purpose: Blood lactate concentration is commonly used to assess metabolic demand and skeletal muscle training response. The objective of the pilot study was to investigate if a change in blood lactate was detectable in an anaerobically designed vocal demand task vocal capacity anaerobic task (VCAT) and determine if the developed vocal demand task may assess the anaerobic capacity of the voice musculature, like anaerobic power tests commonly used in applied exercise science.

Methods: A prospective repeated measures study quantified blood lactate concentration preVCAT and postVCAT in vocally healthy adults.
