“…In the literature, a large variability in speechreading scores is found; for example, in the study of Auer and Bernstein [27] speechreading scores (in a visual-only condition) on the sentence level varied between 0 and 65% and between 0 and 85% for, respectively, normalhearing and hearing-impaired adults. This is in accordance with other studies in which it was found that deaf and hearing-impaired individuals are better speech readers than normal-hearing peers [18,27,28]. Nevertheless, other studies found nonsignificant differences between normal-hearing and hearing-impaired children and adolescents [19,29,30].…”

Introduction: To the best of our knowledge, there is a lack of reliable, validated, and standardized (Dutch) measuring instruments to document visual speech perception in a structured way. This study aimed to: (1) evaluate the effects of age, gender, and the used word list on visual speech perception examined by a first version of the Dutch Test for (Audio-)Visual Speech Perception on word level (TAUVIS-words) and (2) assess the internal reliability of the TAUVIS-words. Methods: Thirty-nine normal-hearing adults divided into the following 3 age categories were included: (1) younger adults, age 18–39 years; (2) middle-aged adults, age 40–59 years; and (3) older adults, age >60 years. The TAUVIS-words consist of 4 word lists, i.e., 2 monosyllabic word lists (MS 1 and MS 2) and 2 polysyllabic word lists (PS 1 and PS 2). A first exploration of the effects of age, gender, and test stimuli (i.e., the used word list) on visual speech perception was conducted using the TAUVIS-words. A mixed-design analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to analyze the results statistically. Lastly, the internal reliability of the TAUVIS-words was assessed by calculating the Chronbach α. Results: The results revealed a significant effect of the used list. More specifically, the score for MS 1 was significantly better compared to that for PS 2, and the score for PS 1 was significantly better compared to that for PS 2. Furthermore, a significant main effect of gender was found. Women scored significantly better compared to men. The effect of age was not significant. The TAUVIS-word lists were found to have good internal reliability. Conclusion: This study was a first exploration of the effects of age, gender, and test stimuli on visual speech perception using the TAUVIS-words. Further research is necessary to optimize and validate the TAUVIS-words, making use of a larger study sample.

“…They found significant speechreading advantages for a group of 29 profoundly deaf adults (age of onset < 5 years) over a comparison group of 29 hearing adults. In a study of Brazilian Portuguese-speaking adults, Oliveira et al (2014) found similar advantages for deaf adults over hearing adults in terms of their performance on a range of speechreading tasks, and consistent advantages for those deaf adults with prelingual onset as compared to those with post-lingual onset.…”

“…The study by Oliveira et al (2014) described above included some deaf participants with CIs but they were grouped together with participants without CIs, so it was not possible to differentiate whether the individuals with CIs displayed a group advantage relative to the hearing controls in terms of their speechreading skills. A small number of studies have reported data comparing speechreading skills of groups of deaf individuals who have received a CI with hearing individuals.…”

Speechreading in Deaf Adults with Cochlear Implants: Evidence for Perceptual Compensation

2017

Previous research has provided evidence for a speechreading advantage in congenitally deaf adults compared to hearing adults. A ‘perceptual compensation’ account of this finding proposes that prolonged early onset deafness leads to a greater reliance on visual, as opposed to auditory, information when perceiving speech which in turn results in superior visual speech perception skills in deaf adults. In the current study we tested whether previous demonstrations of a speechreading advantage for profoundly congenitally deaf adults with hearing aids, or no amplificiation, were also apparent in adults with the same deafness profile but who have experienced greater access to the auditory elements of speech via a cochlear implant (CI). We also tested the prediction that, in line with the perceptual compensation account, receiving a CI at a later age is associated with superior speechreading skills due to later implanted individuals having experienced greater dependence on visual speech information. We designed a speechreading task in which participants viewed silent videos of 123 single words spoken by a model and were required to indicate which word they thought had been said via a free text response. We compared congenitally deaf adults who had received CIs in childhood or adolescence (N = 15) with a comparison group of hearing adults (N = 15) matched on age and education level. The adults with CI showed significantly better scores on the speechreading task than the hearing comparison group. Furthermore, within the group of adults with CI, there was a significant positive correlation between age at implantation and speechreading performance; earlier implantation was associated with lower speechreading scores. These results are both consistent with the hypothesis of perceptual compensation in the domain of speech perception, indicating that more prolonged dependence on visual speech information in speech perception may lead to improvements in the perception of visual speech. In addition our study provides metrics of the ‘speechreadability’ of 123 words produced in British English: one derived from hearing adults (N = 61) and one from deaf adults with CI (N = 15). Evidence for the validity of these ‘speechreadability’ metrics come from correlations with visual lexical competition data.

“…There is thus one more grievance that can be presented by CHA's due to the difficulties experienced in the work environment and in the organization of the work process. 23 It is stated in some articles that the working day and working conditions of the CHA were referred to as a worsening of diseases related to the cardiovascular system, such as hypertension. 18,21 It is also emphasized that CHAs refer to the health limitations they have, which prevents them from exercising their duties adequately.…”

RESUMOObjetivo: identificar as produções científicas que demonstram como as condições de trabalho influenciam a saúde dos agentes comunitários de saúde do Brasil. Método: trata-se de um estudo bibliográfico, tipo revisão integrativa, de artigos publicados no período de 2002 a 2016, nos idiomas inglês, espanhol e português, inseridos na base de dados da Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. Realizou-se a leitura dos títulos, resumos e artigos completos que atendessem ao objetivo proposto. Apresentaram-se os resultados em forma de figura. Resultados: selecionaram-se 20 artigos que se evidenciaram, a partir da análise dos artigos, diversas formas de adoecimento, tanto de ordem física, como psíquica. Relacionaram-se intimamente as condições de trabalho ao comprometimento da qualidade de vida desses trabalhadores e à exposição aos agravos e doenças. Conclusão: aponta-se a necessidade de intervenções imediatas nas condições de trabalho do agente comunitário de saúde, por parte dos gestores, visando à redução da morbimortalidade desses profissionais de saúde.
