The effects of an acquired profound hearing loss on speech production. A case study.

Three parallel studies conducted with an early adolescent male subject deafened by meningitis at age 11 are reported. Study 1 plotted phonetic errors in spontaneous and read speech, long-term average spectra and vowel formant frequencies. Study 2 measured the subject's speech intelligibility using monosyllabic word lists. Study 3 involved normal hearer 's ratings of the subject's speech 2 months and 30 months after the onset of deafness. The results obtained revealed a deterioration in both speech intelligibility and quality.

Three cases of paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis are described in whom unilateral attacks were focally induced, together with a case in whom bilateral attacks only occured. Treatment with phenytoin was effective in all cases. The aspects of the literature relating to focal and generalised attacks in paroxysmal kinesigenic choreoathetosis are reviewed.
