Abstract
An investigation of listening ability in 13 visually impaired college students was conducted. Subjects were pre-tested on a listening skills test and then exposed to three modes of speech presentation in a counterbalance order: normal speech, accelerated speech, and compressed speech. Results showed a consistent and significant trend towards better performance on the accelerated over the normal mode, and on the compressed over both the accelerated and normal modes.Keywords
