Speech Audiometry for Linguistically Diverse Populations (On Demand Webinar) (PD102336)

Presenter(s): Lauren Calandruccio, PhD, CCC-A
Course Description


The likelihood of encountering multilingual individuals, non-English-speaking individuals, and non-native speakers of English in the clinic is becoming more common. As audiologists are working with linguistically diverse populations, they may find themselves asking, “How should I evaluate speech perception in my patients who are not monolingual speakers of English? Which speech materials should I use?” This webinar will review the current literature on multilingual and non-native speech perception and discuss approaches to best serve patients from diverse linguistic backgrounds.

Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:

  • Explain the challenges that non-native English speakers face when listening in noise
  • List suggested guidelines for working with multilingual patients
