我们回顾了帕特里夏·斯特尔马霍维奇 (Patricia Stelmachowicz) 在儿科听力学方面的研究相关文献，特别关注可听度对语言发展和语言规则习得的影响。帕特·斯特马霍维奇 (Pat Stelmachowicz) 的职业生涯致力于提高我们对使用助听器的轻度至重度听力损失儿童的认识和了解。帕特和她的同事利用各种新颖的实验和刺激，提供了大量有力的证据来支持这一假设，即发展调节了频率带宽对语音感知的作用，特别是对于摩擦音。帕特实验室的大量研究对临床实践有几个重要的影响。首先，她的工作强调，在检测和识别 /s/ 和 /z/ 等摩擦音时，儿童比成人需要获取更多的高频语音信息。这些高频语音对于形态和语音的发展很重要。因此，传统助听器的有限带宽可能会延迟听力损失儿童在这两个领域的语言规则的形成。其次，它强调了不仅仅将成人研究结果应用于儿科扩增临床决策过程的重要性。临床医生应使用基于证据的实践来验证并为使用助听器学习口语的儿童提供最大的听力。
We review the literature related to Patricia Stelmachowicz's research in pediatric audiology, specifically focusing on the influence of audibility in language development and acquisition of linguistic rules. Pat Stelmachowicz spent her career increasing our awareness and understanding of children with mild to severe hearing loss who use hearing aids. Using a variety of novel experiments and stimuli, Pat and her colleagues produced a robust body of evidence to support the hypothesis that development moderates the role of frequency bandwidth on speech perception, particularly for fricative sounds. The prolific research that came out of Pat's lab had several important implications for clinical practice. First, her work highlighted that children require access to more high-frequency speech information than adults in the detection and identification of fricatives such as /s/ and /z/. These high-frequency speech sounds are important for morphological and phonological development. Consequently, the limited bandwidth of conventional hearing aids may delay the formation of linguistic rules in these two domains for children with hearing loss. Second, it emphasized the importance of not merely applying adult findings to the clinical decision-making process in pediatric amplification. Clinicians should use evidence-based practices to verify and provide maximum audibility for children who use hearing aids to acquire spoken language.
