Item Efficacy of think-aloud strategy on the cocktail party effect of pupils with auditory processing disorders(Taylor & Francis, 2022) Adewunmi, A. T.; Olusanya, O. A.; Amosun, M. D.; Osisanya, A.Item Parenting styles and socio-economic status as predictors of social adjustment of children with autism in Ibadan, Oyo state, Nigeria(2020) Mbah, V. I.; Osisanya, A.Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is a neurobehavioural disorder characterized by difficulty in social and communicative impairments, which usually affect the ability to form relationships. Due to this, parents of children with autism encounter challenges in the process of parenting which influences the home-social adjustment of these children. Thus, the study examined parenting styles and parental socio-economic status as predictors of home-social adjustment of children with autism. This study adopted a descriptive research design of correlational type. Purposive sampling technique was used to select thirty children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Questionnaires were further used to gather data on parenting style, parental socio-economic status and social adjustment of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Data collected were analysed using Pearson's product moment correlation and multiple regression analysis. The result revealed that parental socio-economic status (r = ,8ll,p<0.05), authoritative (r = .546, p<0.05) and permissive parenting styles (r = .648, p<0.05) were significantly correlated with social adjustment. Authoritarian parenting style was negatively and significantly correlated with social adjustment (r = -.425, p>0.05) while permissive parenting style was negatively and not significantly correlated with social adjustment (r = -. 073, p>0.05) among children with ASD. Thus, parenting styles such as authoritative and permissive parenting styles had significant contribution to social adjustment of children with autism while authoritarian and neglectful parenting styles had insignificant contribution to social adjustment of children with autism. Also, parental socio economic status had significant contribution to social adjustment of children with autism. Therefore, parents of children with ASD should adopt positive parenting in order to promote healthy social relationship. Also, parents should be their children advocate by making their needs known to the member of the public.Item Audiological tinnitus management: an essential audiological protocol for elderly patients with comorbidity of hypertension and tinnitus(IntechOpen, London, United Kingdom, 2019) Osisanya, A.Elderly population with comorbidity of hypertension and tinnitus is increasing across the world, and the dilemma in the management of such elderly patients across the neurology and audiology/otology clinics seems enormous due to the attendant effects of such health-related comorbid conditions and ageing. This has been observed to have negative effect on the general well-being of quite a number of the elderly patients identified with the comorbid health conditions. It has also increased the tinnitus severity and related psychosocial reactions of the elderly patients. Worse still, the situation causes undulating increase in the prevalence of the comorbid condition of advanced age both male and female irrespective of cultural differences. Due to the aforementioned, this chapter is written with the aim of highlighting the efficacy of audiological tinnitus management options considered essential in the rehabilitation of individuals with comorbidity of hypertension and tinnitus. The chapter also discusses the benefits of combined therapies in rehabilitating elderly patients with comorbidity of hypertension and tinnitus and concluded with some useful recommendations for effective management of the comorbid condition.Item Therapeutic considerations for individuals with communication difficulties and co-morbid challenges(Department of Special Education, Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2019) Osisanya, A.The comorbidity nature of communication difficulties and associated developmental challenges often times impair the overall functional ability and quality of life, learning and psycho-social behaviours, and health stability of those with the conditions, especially the children. With the attendant effect of those comorbid challenges, children would experience delayed language development, reduced vocabulary, poor clarity of speech, poor word recall, difficulty forming sentences, poor understanding of spoken speech, difficulty following instructions, poor empathy, poor ability to express needs/feelings, literal understanding/speech, repetitive speech, swallowing problems, poor listening skills and poor copying/imitation skills. Therefore, the management of such communication difficulties and associated developmental challenges in children is a complex task requiring professional competence and expertise, experience, a blend of therapeutic options and multidisciplinary team-work approach. It is against this background that this paper highlighted the benefits of different therapeutic options for both children and adults with comorbidity of communication difficulties and developmental challenges. The need for multidisciplinary team-work services in rehabilitating the conditions has also been emphasized. The paper concluded by advocating cooperative efforts of the allied professionals and combined therapeutic options towards rehabilitating comorbid communication and developmental challenges.Item Audiological tinnitus management: an essential audiological protocol for elderly patients with comorbidity of hypertension and tinnitus(IntechOpen, London, United Kingdom, 2019) Osisanya, A.Elderly population with comorbidity of hypertension and tinnitus is increasing across the world, and the dilemma in the management of such elderly patients across the neurology and audiology/otology clinics seems enormous due to the attendant effects of such health-related comorbid conditions and ageing.

E.; Osisanya, A.Children with hearing loss have poor speech discrimination ability as a result of the loss of auditory capacity to recognize and discriminate speech, sounds. Past studies were focused largely on the rehabilitation of the auditory systems towards efficient speech recognition ability with little attention paid to the rehabilitation of speech discrimination difficulty. This study, therefore, was designed to determine the effect of auditory training and speech reading on the speech discrimination ability of children with hearing loss. The moderating effects of the degree and age of onset of hearing loss were also examined. The study adopted the pretest-posttest control group quasi-experimental design of 3x2x3 factorial matrix. Multi-stage sampling technique was used to select the three schools used, while the thirty participants involved were purposively selected based on their degree and onset of the hearing loss. The participants were randomly assigned into auditory training (10), speech reading (10) and control (10) groups. The treatment lasted ten weeks. The instruments used were the adapted version of the Clement Ayodele Bakare Speech Discrimination Test List (r = 0.75) and Masy Part LaForest Experimental Speech Sound Discrimination Test List (0.72). Data were analysed using Analysis of Covariance and Scheffe Post-hoc test at 0.05 level of significance. There was a significant main effect of treatment on the participants speech discrimination ability (F (2,13) = 10.008, partial2 = 0.56). Participants in the speech reading group had the highest mean score (49.00), followed by those in auditory training (42.33), while those in control group had the lowest mean (33.33). There was no two-way interaction effects of degree and onset of hearing loss on the speech discrimination ability of children with hearing loss. The study also revealed insignificant three-way interaction effects of treatment, degree, and onset of hearing loss on the speech discrimination ability. Auditory training and speech reading exercises were effective in enhancing speech discrimination ability of children with hearing loss in Ibadan, regardless of the degree and onset of hearing loss. However, speech reading showed better outcome than auditory training. Therefore, audiologists, hearing therapists and speech therapists should adopt these strategies towards improving the speech discrimination ability of children with hearing loss.Item Effects of injectable aminoglycosides on the auditory performance of individuals with drug resistant tuberculosis in Osun State, Nigeria(SciTechnol, 2018-02) Osisanya, A.; Adekola, A.; Fada, P. O.Ototoxicity caused by injectable aminoglycosides are capable of causing cochleotoxicity which is characterised as death of auditory hair cells (hearing loss) and vestibuiotoxicity manifesting as balance disorders. Ototoxicity is always as a result of insidious effects of aminoglycosides on auditory system, with a kind of irreversible (permanent) hearing loss which is common among individuals being treated for Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (DRTB). Therefore, this study examined the effect of injectable aminoglycosides on the auditory performance of patients with DRTB in Osun state. Twenty (20) DRTB patients comprising of 14 males and 6 females were purposively selected to participate in this ex post facto research. Instruments used include Otoscope to diagnose infection of the middle ear and outer parts of the ear, Maico ST 20 portable diagnostic audiometer to determine the hearing threshold of the participants, and audiograms to record the test results. Baseline audiometry revealed that 35% of the participants had mild hearing loss before commencement of treatment with injectable aminoglycosides, while 70% of the participants had severe to profound hearing loss after completion of injectable aminoglycosides. 65% of the participants had tinnitus in addition to hearing loss, while 55% had high frequency loss only. Therefore, health workers should ensure that people with DRTB are well educated about the side effects of injectable aminoglycosides and be encouraged to access audiologic follow up and rehabilitation, while alternative injectable drugs with reduced or milder side effects are employed for treatment of Drug Resistant Tuberculosis.
