Small portable devices that provide delayed auditory feedback (DAF) and/or frequency altered feedback (FAF) have been developed and marketed to clinicians and people who stutter as fluency enhancing aids for use in everyday speaking situations. The literature contains many laboratory-based reports about the impact of altered auditory feedback (AAF) on the speech of people who stutter but few reports about its use in everyday speaking situations. This paper investigates use patterns and perceptions of the effectiveness and satisfaction with AAF devices.
The current study surveys 14 Australian AAF users.
The survey responses revealed varied opinions about AAF devices and their use and effectiveness in everyday speaking situations. Opinions were somewhat related to the type of device used.
The results of this study provide some important directions for future research. In particular there is need to investigate the effectiveness of AAF devices when used in conjunction with other traditional treatments.
已开发出提供延迟听觉反馈(DAF)和/或频率改变反馈(FAF)的小型便携式设备,并向临床医生和口吃者销售,作为在日常口语情境中提高流畅度的辅助工具。文献中有许多基于实验室的报告,阐述了改变听觉反馈(AAF)对口吃者言语的影响,但关于其在日常口语情境中的使用报告却很少。本文调查了AAF设备的使用模式以及对其有效性和满意度的看法。
本研究对14名澳大利亚AAF用户进行了调查。
调查反馈揭示了关于AAF设备及其在日常口语情境中的使用和有效性的不同观点。这些观点与所使用设备的类型有些关联。
本研究结果为未来研究提供了一些重要方向。特别是,有必要研究AAF设备与其他传统治疗方法联合使用时的有效性。
