"Zoom Quality" papers submitted & poster accepted to ASA

10/11/2020

 
When the COVID-19 ​pandemic halted in-person data collection, my lab and others' turned to video conference call apps like Zoom or asked participants to record themselves on their phones or laptops.  To make sure these recordings are suitable for phonetic analysis, I've teamed up with Paul De Decker from Memorial University of Newfoundland, who has previously tested laptops, smartphones, and VoIP apps. This summer, we tested 7 devices, 3 apps, and 4 transmission conditions. Our results on vowel spaces, mergers, and nasalization were accepted as a poster for the Acoustical Society of America fall meeting, which will be online this December.  We also recently submitted two papers for a special issue-series about the effects of the pandemic on acoustics and acoustic research practices in ​the society's journal, JASA.

Now scheduling Zoom interviews

10/9/2020

 
As part of the Deaf Experience, Deaf Expression (DXDX) project (which also includes hard-of-hearing folks), my lab is now scheduling interviews over Zoom with adults who have had severe to profound hearing loss since childhood. We'll discuss your experiences with school, language, and socializing to begin building our collection of video stories from people with hearing loss.  See the lab webpage or contact me for details.
