Pretest
The speech perception of 12 adults and 12 kids with profound hearing loss were tested using the Word Association for Syllable Perception. (Kotch, May 1999)
Work
The same 24 people worked with the syllable discrimination app for 20 minutes a day for 10 days over a two-week period.
Post-test
At the end of two weeks, the participants took the external test again. For both adults and kids, 85% working with the app improved their speech perception. There was a strong relationship between the amount of time the app was used and the degree of improvement.
