In addition to the Computer Teaching Laboratory in Tanz, students have access to the larger networked computing facility in Room 3285 in the Medical Sciences Building. The speech-science teaching laboratory is equipped principally for teaching purposes but also provides a secondary facility for some faculty research. One Macintosh II computer is available for acoustic analysis using Mac Speech Lab software and also for aerodynamic measurements using a customized software program. The package can also be used for limited acoustic analysis. This program is also used in the advanced speech science course.
Rothenberg masks are available for measurement of airflow and intraoral pressure.
Furthermore, the teaching lab is equipped with signal generators, sound level meters and voltmeters, digital and non-digital storage oscilloscopes. Finally, there are numerous filters, speakers, tape decks and microphones available. A large audiometric laboratory is available to researchers, clinicians and students. The laboratory contains one new ISO double room suite and a second single room ISO unit. Both units are equipped with modern, computer-based audiological measurement devices including audiometers and middle ear measurement units.
