The effects of noise and impaired voice quality on spoken language processing in school-aged children: Preliminary results of a systematic review
Year: 2020
Type: review
Study design: Systematic Review
Abstract: Introduction Methods • Classroom noise levels ~70 dB(A) (recommended: ≤55 dB(A)) [1]• To be understood, teachers speaking level is ~80 dB(A) [2] • >50% of teachers develop voice disorders [3] • Acoustic degradations interfere with children's speech processing [4] • PRISMA-informed systematic review • Study search: PsycINFO/Ovid, Medline/Ovid, Eric/Ovid, and Scopus searched up to August 2018 (example in Table 1) • Eligibility: studies assessing 6-18-year-old children's performance and response times (RT) in listening tasks presented in noise and/or impaired voice (study selection process in Figure 1) • Findings classified and synthesized regarding speech perception, listening comprehension, and auditory working memory • Study quality assessment: shortened version of Quality Assessment Tool for Observational Cohort and Cross-Sectional Studies of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute [5] (see Figure 2) Results Conclusions
