The Role of Auditory and Visual Cue in Perception of Mandarin Tones by Children with Cochlear Implant
This study investigated whether the additional visual cues increase the identifications of Chinese lexical tone by children with cochlear implants in quiet and noise environment.
Method
2
80 preschool children with cochlear implants and 50 normal hearing controls at the same age participated in the experiment of tone perception in which they were asked to choose the one of two cartoon pictures corresponding to the minimal tone pairs presented in auditory-only modality and auditory-visual modality. Comparison was made between auditory-only perception and auditory-visual perception of lexical tones in both quiet and noise environment.
Results
2
Visual modality did improve tone perception by children with cochlear implants in quiet and noise environment but on different tones; in quiet environment the accuracy of tone 2 was lower in auditory than auditory-visual modality significantly (
P
<
0.05) while the accuracy of T1 and T3 were significantly lower in auditory-only than auditory-visual modality in noise environment (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusion
2
The facilitation of facial expressions can be found in perception of certain tones by children with cochlear implant under quiet and noise environment
which can be used in speech rehabilitation of hearing-impaired children.
