This descriptive, longitudinal study involved the analysis of the prosody and voice characteristics of conversational speech produced by six young children with severe to profound hearing impairments who had been fitted with cochlear implants. A total of 40 samples were analyzed using the Prosody-Voice Screening Profile (PVSP; Shriberg, L. D., Kwiatkowski, J., & Rasmussen, C. (1990). Prosody-Voice Screening Profile (PVSP). Tuscon, AZ: Communication Skill Builders). Overall, the children presented with noticeable problems with stress and resonance quality. There were some difficulties noted with rate, loudness, and laryngeal quality, but there were no consistent difficulties with phrasing or pitch. This suggested that prosody and voice characteristics in this population are different from those typically observed in children with severe to profound hearing impairments though some problem areas remain. Some developmental trends were also observed. These findings suggest that cochlear implants offer some significant benefits to children with hearing impairment in terms of prosody and voice outcomes.
这项描述性纵向研究分析了6名重度至极重度听力障碍的幼儿在植入人工耳蜗后的对话语音韵律和嗓音特征。使用韵律-嗓音筛查量表（PVSP；施里伯格，L.D.，克维亚特科夫斯基，J.，&拉斯穆森，C.（1990年）。韵律-嗓音筛查量表（PVSP）。亚利桑那州图森市：沟通技能建设者）对总共40个样本进行了分析。总体而言，这些儿童在重音和共鸣质量方面存在明显问题。在语速、响度和喉部质量方面也发现了一些困难，但在措辞或音高方面没有持续的困难。这表明，尽管仍存在一些问题领域，但该人群的韵律和嗓音特征与重度至极重度听力障碍儿童通常观察到的特征不同。还观察到了一些发展趋势。这些发现表明，人工耳蜗在韵律和嗓音结果方面为听力障碍儿童带来了一些显著益处。
