Development<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speech Tracking was first introduced as an auditory training technique<\/i><\/b>\u00a0by DeFilippo and Scott (1978). The KTH computer-assisted method of Speech Tracking uses an algorithm created at the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden (KTH) by Gnospelius and Spens (1992).\u00a0 <\/span>This was modified in 2007 into a computerized program by the\u00a0Rehabilitation Engineering Research Center (RERC) on Hearing Enhancement<\/span><\/a>\u00a0at Gallaudet University in collaboration with Dr. Harry Levitt and Chris Oden at Advanced Hearing Concepts, and Geoff Plant at MED-EL. Evidence-based citation on the use of KTH Speech Tracking is reported by Bernstein et al (2012).<\/span><\/p>\n

Funding for the development of the software and instructional video on KTH Speech Tracking was provided by the National Institute on Disability and Rehabilitation Research, U.S. Department of Education, Grant #H133E030006 (RERC on Hearing Enhancement). The contents of the webpage were developed under a grant from the National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research ,Grant # 90RE5020. NIDILRR is a Center within the Administration for Community Living, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.<\/span><\/p>\n
