Listening Inventories for Education

Functional hearing in the classroom: assistive listening devices for students with hearing impairment in a mainstream school setting

“…A baseline measurement of just HA(s)/ CI(s) alone was also obtained for comparison. The effectiveness of the different technologies was determined at the end of each 2-week trial period using the Listening Inventory for Education-Revised (LIFE-R) questionnaire (Anderson & Smaldino, 1999). Both the student and the teacher appraisal for difficult listening situations were administered.…”

“…Therefore when children are diagnosed with a mild or unilateral hearing loss in infancy there is much variability in parents' decisions about device fi tting. Decisions about aiding older children are assisted by using functional assessment tools such as the Parent Evaluation of Auditory/oral performance of Children (PEACH), or Teacher Evaluation of Auditory/oral performance of Children (TEACH) (Ching & Hill, 2007;Ching et al, 2008), the Screening Identifi cation for Targeting Educational Risk (SIFTER) (Anderson,1989), or Listening Inventory for Education (LIFE) (Anderson and Smaldino, 1999), or the Client Oriented Scale of Improvement (COSI) (Dillon et al, 1997).…”

Validação do questionário Parent’s Evaluation of Aural/Oral Performance of Children – PEACH em língua portuguesa brasileira

“…All of these items are mentioned in the literature, however it is observed that most questionnaires applied not always observe all these features and joint concerns in only one of them, and therefore it is necessary to complement with the application of more than one questionnaire. As for the auditive comfort it is possible to observe the same concern in the APHAB questionnaire (12) ; as for the child auditive performance in silence and noisy situations, as PEACH (6) also showed this concern with the scale MAIS (10) , APHAB questionnaire (12) , the LIFE questionnaire (16) and a questionnaire used by other authors (18) . A common feature between the PEACH (6) and the questionnaires MUSS (10) , MAIS (11) , APHAB (12) , IT-MAIS (13) , CHILD (14) , ABEL (15) and the proposed in some authors studies (19) is attention when analyzing measures of functional performance of children in daily life situations, which shows the importance of parents and/or guardians observation.…”

“…Most of these questionnaires mainly aim to involve parents in the rehabilitation process. Questionnaires as MUSS (10) , MAIS (11) , APHAB (12) , IT-MAIS (13) , CHILD (14) , ABEL (15) and LIFE (16) contribute to the validation of the use of electronic devices.…”
