The present study investigated whether moderate amounts of computer-assisted speech training can improve the speech recognition performance of hearing-impaired children. Ten Mandarin-speaking children (3 hearing aid users and 7 cochlear implant users) participated in the study. Training was conducted at home using a personal computer for half an hour per day, 5 days per week, for a period of 10 weeks. Results showed significant improvements in subjects' vowel, consonant, and tone recognition performance after training. The improved performance was largely retained for 2 months after training was completed. These results suggest that moderate amounts of auditory training, using a computer-based auditory rehabilitation tool with minimal supervision, can be effective in improving the speech performance of hearing-impaired children.
本研究调查了适量的计算机辅助言语训练是否能提高听力受损儿童的言语识别能力。十名说普通话的儿童（3名佩戴助听器者和7名接受人工耳蜗植入者）参与了该研究。训练在家中使用个人电脑进行，每天半小时，每周5天，为期10周。结果显示，训练后受试者的元音、辅音和声调识别能力有显著提高。训练完成后，提高的表现大体上保持了2个月。这些结果表明，使用基于计算机的听觉康复工具，在最少监督的情况下进行适量的听觉训练，可有效提高听力受损儿童的言语能力。
