Voice intensity of prospective cochlear implant candidates and normal hearing adult males
Abstract:
Voice intensity in 19 prospective cochlear implant candidates, all adventitiously profoundly sensorineurally deaf adult males, was investigated. For the first time with objective data, it was shown that such deaf subjects spoke with significantly increased voice intensity and with greater intensity fluctuations than normal hearing male speakers. Neither length of time of profound deafness nor history of hearing aid use significantly affected voice intensity. Based on quantitative data, rehabilitation of voice intensity problems in the adventitiously deaf is indicated.

Sound Intensity Level
The human ear can perceive an extensive range of sound intensity, necessitating the use of the logarithmic scale to define a physical quantity—the intensity level. It is a ratio of two intensities and hence a...
