Can auditory and visual speech perception be trained within a group setting?
PURPOSE This study attempted to determine whether auditory-only and auditory-visual speech perception could be trained in a group format . METHOD A r and omized controlled trial with at least 16 participants per group was completed . A  training-only group completed at least 5 hr of group speech perception training ; a training plus psychosocial group  completed at least 5 hr of group speech perception training and psychosocial exercises ; and a control group did not receive training . Evaluations were conducted before and after training and included analytic and synthetic measures of speech perception , hearing loss-related and generic quality of life scales , and a class evaluation form . RESULTS No significant group changes were measured on any of the analytic auditory-only or auditory-visual measures of speech perception , yet the majority of training participants ( regardless of training group ) reported improvement in auditory and auditory-visual speech perception . The training participants demonstrated a significant reduction on the emotional subscale of the hearing loss-related quality of life scale , while the control participants did not demonstrate a change on this subscale . CONCLUSIONS Benefits of group audiologic rehabilitation classes may not result from an actual improvement in auditory or visual speech perception abilities , but participants still perceive training in these areas as useful
