Im doing a report on deafness....?

Question

Im doing a report on the effects of hearing loss on speech. Does anyone know of anyone credible i could interview or of any books i could spcifically look for?...I've already searched the internet

Answer 1

I would suggest using ASHA as a great resource for this topic.  ASHA is the American Speech Language Hearing Association, anyone who is licensed as an SLP-CCC (Speech Language Pathologist  who is certified -has gotten a masters and passed the test-they specialize in Speech and language ) ASHA also has members who are audiologist (they specialize in hearing).  ASHA would probably be one of the best places to look, they do yearly conferences on a variety of topics and the members are all licensed and credible.  I put a link below to the ASHA hearing disorders page.  I am sure that the information there will be greatly helpful.  You could probably find someone on the website that might do an interview for you if you needed that.  Good luck!  That is a great topic!! :)

Answer 2

I know that you've searched the Internet but I found that a Yahoo Search:  effects hearing loss speech

got lots of information.

Good luck.
