    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Combined auditory-visual speech perception significantly enhances understanding for both hearing-impaired and normal-hearing individuals, especially in challenging listening conditions. Evaluating this combined sense is crucial in audiology.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Speech Perception
    • Human Communication

    Background:

    • Hearing-impaired individuals often use visual cues (lip-reading) alongside hearing aids.
    • Normal-hearing individuals also benefit from visual speech cues in noisy or reverberant environments.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review studies on auditory-visual speech perception.
    • To provide a rationale for routine clinical evaluation of combined speech perception.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of numerous clinical and laboratory studies.
    • Analysis of auditory-visual speech perception performance data.

    Main Results:

    • Combined auditory-visual speech perception is consistently superior to auditory-only or visual-only perception.

  • This benefit is observed in both hearing-impaired and normal-hearing populations, across age groups.

    • Conclusions:

    • Auditory-visual speech perception is a critical factor in effective communication.
    • Routine evaluation of auditory-visual speech perception should be integrated into audiology practices.
