What is Speech Threapy?

Speech and language therapy is the process of enabling people to communicate to the best of their ability. Communication involves listening, speaking, reading and writing. Some people use sign language, communication aids or other methods to communicate.

Assessment, Diagnosis & management of the following disorders


  • 1. Hearing Loss

    -Auditory training.
    -Vocabulary building to improve speech and language development.
    -Articulation correction (to improve intelligibility of speech)
  • 2. Mental Retardation

    -To improve self help skills.
    -Behavioral modification to reduce hyperactivity.
    -Vocabulary building to improve speech and language development.
  • 3. Autism

    -Interactive and creative play.
    -Behavioral modification to reduce hyperactivity and to improve eye contact and attention – span.
    -To improve socialization skills and social interaction.
    -Vocabulary building.
  • 4. ADHD

    -Behavioral modification to reduce hyperactivity and improve attention span & eye – contact
    -Improve vocabulary and social use of language (pragmatic skills)
  • 5. Cerebral Palsy

    -Oromotor exercise to improve muscle strength.
    -Vocabulary building.
  • 6. CLEFT LIP / PALATE

    -To reduce hypernasality / to regulate oral air flow.
    -Articulation correction to improve intelligibility of speech.
  • 7. STUTTERING

    -To reduce rate of speech.
    -Effective counseling to improve self confidence and to avoid / overcome fear and anxiety.
    -To learn how to avoid or prevent stuttering while speaking by making use of various techniques.
    -How to avoid / overcome situational fear.
  • 8. MISARTICULATION

    -Improve intelligibility of speech by articulation correction ie. Sounds difficult to be produced are taught.
  • 9. APHASIA

    -Based on the type of a Aphasia (Broca’s, Wernicke’s, Global, Anomic etc.) and its characteristics, Therapy is planned and carried out.

Department Of Audiology



Our centre has air conditioned two individual newly built acoustically designed sound treated room. with two room setup. equipped with high quality audiometers and impedance meters with ANSI standards calibration.
We have other tests like Auditory brain stem Response (BERA) Auditory steady state Response (ASSR), DPOAE,TEOAE, in newly built acoustically designed sound treated room.
  • 1. Puretone Audiometry (PTA)

    -Helps to rule out type and degree of hearing loss.
    -In PTA a wide range of frequencies (250 Hz to 8 KHz) are being tested.
    -Special Tests Like(SISI, TDT, ABLB, STENGER) helps to find out the site of lesion.
    -Speech – Audiometry (SRT, SDT, SAL,MCL,UCL) helps to find out the Speech discrimination level.
  • 2. Impedence audiometry

    -Helps to rule out middle ear status and function
    -Provides information regarding middle ear pressure, compliance and ear canal volume
  • 3. Auditory Brain Stem Respomse (BERA)

    Electro physiologic measures play a critical role in the assessment of hearing in infants and young children. ABR are generated by the cochlea and auditory path way neurons. ABR represents the neural activity of 8th nerve centrals and tracts with in brain stem. ABR is recorded by placing electrodes on scalp and stimulating ear with brief auditory signals.

    -It helps to provide information about degree of hearing loss in children difficult to test patients.
    -To rule out site of lesion.
  • 4. Auditory steady state Response (ASSR)

    -Helps to provide information about degree of hearing loss in children / difficult to test patients.
    -Frequency specific threshold estimation is possible (250 Hz – 8KHz)
    -Helps in providing APT amplification devices to children.
  • 5. OTOACOUSTIC EMISSION (OAE)

    Otoacoustic emissions are sound produced either spontaneously or evoked by the cochlea specifically the outer hair cells, and measured in the outer ear canal.
    There are three types of otoacoustic emission.

    1. Spontaneous (SOAES)

    These are recorded without any presentation of a stimulus and are not typically of any clinical use. They occur in about 35 to 50 % of normal hearing ear’s.

    2. Transient evoked (TEOAEs)

    These are evoked response from stimulating the cochlea with a transient signal such as a click or tone burst acoustic signal.
    TEOAEs are a wide frequency response in the 500 to 5,000Hz range.
    They typically do not occur in hearing loss of about 30 dB or greater.

    3. Distortion product (DPOAEs)

    These are evoked response OAEs from stimulating the cochlea with two simultaneously presented pure tones of different frequency. This type of OAE can be recorded in individuals with greater frequencies with more frequency specificity. DPOAEs are obtainable in the frequency range of 500 to 8000KHz.
    The presence of otoacoustic emissions suggests normal outer hair cell function, Which in turn correlates to normal hearing.

Global Hearing Aid Centre Clinic
We have wide range of programmable, invisible, comfortable, technological hearing aids from the leading manufacturers around the world that suits all type of losses and budgets.
All hearing aids contain the same parts to carry sound from the environment into your ear. However, hearing aids do come in a number of styles, which differ in size and the way they're placed in your ear. Some are small enough to fit inside your ear canal, making them almost invisible. Others fit partially in your ear canal. Generally, the smaller a hearing aid is, the less powerful it is, the shorter its battery life and the more it'll cost.

We Deal: WIDEX, OTICON, ELECTONE, RESOUND, ELKON, SIEMENS - A&M, PHONAK- UNITRON, AUDIFON



Behind The Ear (BTE)

Hearing aids are reliable and offer greater fitting flexibility. They fit comfortably behind the ear while amplified sound passes down a tube to a customized earmould which fits in your ear. Because they are larger, can accommodate bigger batteries for longer life and larger amplifiers for maximum amplification.
Advantages
• Behind-the-ear instruments are often the most durable hearing devices — some are even completely water resistant.
• Compared to smaller, in-the-ear instruments, they hold more circuitry and can provide greater amplification.

Mini Behind The Ear (BTE)

The mini BTE rests behind the ear. The case at the back of the ear houses the technology, while a clear tube then directs amplified sound into the ear canal via an earmold or earbud. Appropriate for most types of hearing loss and ages.
Advantages
• Features React Touch Control Technology, allowing you to change the hearing aid volume up and down and adjust settings to match your environment with the simple sweep or touch of a finger.
• Smallest BTE model.  • Available with thin tubing and a tiny earbud for ultimate discretion.

Receiver In Canal (RIC)

The receiver-in-canal device is small, discreet and incredibly quick to fit; which makes it perfect for many first-time wearers. The receiver-in-canal is designed to separate the microphone and receiver to lessen feedback. Appropriate for most types of hearing loss and ages.

In The Ear (ITE)

Smaller, in-the-ear instruments house their technology components in a custom-formed ear mold that fits within the outer portion of the ear. The easy-to-use controls are ideal for those with limited manual dexterity. Appropriate for most types of hearing loss and ages.

In The Canal (ITC)

In-the-canal (ITC) instruments feature an earmold that fits down into the ear canal and a smaller portion that faces out into the outer ear. They are discreet, yet partially visible within the outer ear. Appropriate for most types of hearing loss and ages.

Completely In Canal (CIC)

Completely-In-Canal (CIC) micro-technology allows this type of hearing aid to be worn deep inside the ear canal. CIC devices offer an aesthetic appeal and are so tiny that they are almost invisible when worn. Appropriate for most types of hearing loss and ages.
Advantages
• Nearly invisible when worn.
• These fit completely in the canal, with only the head of a tiny plastic line — with which you insert or remove the instrument—shows above the canal.
• CIC devices offer aesthetic appeal, but the structure of some individuals’ ears (e.g. those with a very narrow canal) may make this style unsuitable for them.

Miniscopic ™

Miniscopic is absolutely 100% invisible. It is a deep insertion hearing aid that is customized to fit your ear’s canal. Miniscopic’s state-of-the-art digital technology is 100% programmable and is available for a variety of hearing loss.
Advantages
• 100% custom, invisible, digital and programmable.
• Featuring Vivid Speech, the smartest noise reduction and speech preservation system designed to filter out unwanted background noise.
• Revolutionary Comfort Fit technology ensures in-ear comfort.
• Excellent sound quality on the phone.
• Virtually feedback free - no more whistling.
• Custom designed for your ear.
• Designed to be removed daily to promote better ear health.
