Deafened adults can improve speechreading by using tactile information from a speaker's throat and shoulder. This tactile supplement, called tactiling, offers valuable support for communication, especially with familiar speakers.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Speech-Language Pathology
  • Haptics

Background:

  • Deafened adults often face communication challenges.
  • Traditional speechreading may not fully restore auditory information.
  • Exploring supplementary sensory input can enhance communication for the deafened population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the efficacy of using tactile information from a speaker's vocalizations to supplement speechreading in deafened adults.
  • To determine the value of this tactile supplement as a support system for speechreading.

Main Methods:

  • A pre-test/post-test control group design was employed with eight deafened adults.
  • Participants received speechreading training; the experimental group also received training in tactiling (speechreading with tactile supplement).

  • Testing involved familiar and unfamiliar speakers before and after training.

    • Main Results:

    • Tactiling significantly improved speechreading performance compared to speechreading alone.
    • Performance was better when tested by a familiar speaker than an unfamiliar one.
    • The positive effect of tactiling indicates its potential as a communication aid.

    Conclusions:

    • Tactiling is a viable and valuable method for enhancing speechreading in deafened adults.
    • The tactile supplement provides significant benefits, particularly in interactions with familiar communication partners.
    • Further research into modifications of this natural communication device is warranted.
