Official title
Efficacité de la rééducation Orthophonique de la Lecture Labiale Des Patients appareillés Auditifs : étude SCED
Overview
This study aims to investigate whether lip reading rehabilitation improves viseme recognition in individuals with hearing impairments who use hearing aids.
Interventions
- Other Speechreading training
The patient will undergo 16 lip reading training sessions. By developing functional lip reading skills, they will be able to fill in the gaps in auditory information they miss, especially in loud or noisy settings
Primary outcome measures
- Repetition score, in words (with and without labial doppelganger) of Lafon's cochlear lists presented on video support in visual-only modality [Time frame: 26 sessions (4,5 months)]
- Repetition score, in visemes (with and without labial doppelganger) of Lafon's cochlear lists presented on video support in visual-only modality [Time frame: 26 sessions (4,5 months)]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
- Repetition score of 10 non-words on recorded support with a Signal-to-Noise Ratio of 10 [Time frame: 26 sessions (4,5 months)]
- Repetition score of sentences on video support in audiovisual modality [Time frame: 26 sessions (4,5 months)]
- Identification score of two sequences of musical notes [Time frame: 26 sessions (4,5 months)]
- Impact of speech therapy rehabilitation on quality of life [Time frame: 26 sessions (4,5 months)]
