ABSTRACTEarlier research has shown that sentence intonation involves frequencies of 500 Hz or less. The present research verified the hypothesis that most hearing-impaired children whose auditory input is limited to those low frequencies do perceive differences in intonation. Their performance was influenced by their response tendencies but was clearly evident across three different acoustic listening conditions and two psychophysical tests. The educational implications of this are discussed briefly.

Functional gain and word recognition were assessed for nine hearing-impaired school children under two conditions of FM amplification: (a) FM auditory trainer with insert earphone, and (b) personal FM system with miniloop. On the average, the insert-earphone auditory trainer system provided slightly greater functional gain than did the miniloop system; differences were most consistent at frequencies below 1,000 Hz. For eight of the nine subjects, word recognition scores did not differ across the two amplification conditions. When they are adjusted properly, personal miniloop systems apparently may provide sufficient gain for speech recognition to some hearing-impaired children, with the exception of those children whose residual hearing is limited to low frequencies.
