Abstract

Aural rehabilitation programs recommend the use of situational cues by hearing-impaired individuals to facilitate understanding in everyday communication. Although this practice is generally accepted, little is known about the use of situational clues as an adjunct to speechreading performance.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the influence of situational cues on a standardized speechreading test in order to assess an individual's natural speechreading ability. The widely used, standardized Utley Lipreading Test was selected to which photoslides of message-related situational cues were added. The Utley Lipreading Test consists of two relatively equivalent test lists, containing series of unrelated sentences.
