All participants underwent a comprehensive medical and audiological evaluation, which included\nspeech audiometry with and without observation of the audiologist\u2019s face, i.e. speechreading. Within each group,\nthe effect of speechreading was determined as a change in the speech reception threshold. For all statistical analyses,\np &lt; 0.05 was considered significant.\nResults: Both in individuals with presbycusis and controls, speechreading significantly improved speech discrimination\n(p&lt;.001&lt;.05); however, compared to controls, this effect of speechreading on speech discrimination was more\npronounced in individuals with presbycusis (p&lt;.001).\nDiscussion: Individuals with presbycusis or hearing impairment displayed improved spoken-word intelligibility when\nspoken-word recognition was coupled with speechreading. Thus, speechreading may serve as a \u201cthird ear\u201d.\n\n<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5604\/01.3001.0010.7196","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,15]],"date-time":"2017-12-15T11:22:35Z","timestamp":1513336955000},"page":"38-44","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Effect of speechreading in presbycusis: Do we have a third ear?"],"prefix":"10.5604","volume":"71","author":[{"given":"Luis Roque","family":"Reis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology of Egas Moniz Hospital, West Lisbon Hospital Centre, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Escada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology of Egas Moniz Hospital, West Lisbon Hospital Centre, Portugal"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"3689","container-title":["Otolaryngologia Polska"],"original-title":[],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,15]],"date-time":"2017-12-15T11:22:38Z","timestamp":1513336958000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/otolaryngologypl.com\/gicid\/01.3001.0010.7196"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,30]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,30]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5604\/01.3001.0010.7196","relation":{},"ISSN":["0030-6657","2300-8423"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0030-6657","type":"print"},{"value":"2300-8423","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2017,12,30]]}}}
