چکیده

background: previous studies have shown that interaural-time-difference (itd) training can improve localization ability. surprisingly little is, however, known about localization training vis-à-vis speech perception in noise based on interaural time difference in the envelope (itd env). we sought to investigate the reliability of an itd env-based training program in speech-in-noise perception among elderly individuals with normal hearing and speech-in-noise disorder. methods: the present interventional study was performed during 2016. sixteen elderly men between 55 and 65 years of age with the clinical diagnosis of normal hearing up to 2000 hz and speech-in-noise perception disorder participated in this study. the training localization program was based on changes in itd env. in order to evaluate the reliability ofthe training program, we performed speech-in-noise tests before the training program, immediately afterward, and then at 2 months’ follow-up. the reliability of the training program was analyzed using the friedman test and the spss software. results: significant statistical differences were shown in the mean scores of speech-in-noise perception between the 3 time points (p=0.001). the results also indicated no difference in the mean scores of speech-in-noise perception between the 2 time points of immediately after the training program and 2 months’ follow-up (p=0.212). conclusion: the present study showed the reliability of an itd env-based localization training in elderly individuals with speech-in-noise perception disorder.

Envelope-based inter-aural time difference localization training to improve speech-in-noise perception in the elderly

Background: Many elderly individuals complain of difficulty in understanding speech in noise despite having normal hearing thresholds. According to previous studies, auditory training leads to improvement in speech-in-noise perception, but these studies did not consider the etiology, so their results cannot be generalized. The present study aimed at investigating the effectiveness of envelope-b...

spatial auditory processing in children with central auditory processing disorder

background and aim: spatial hearing is one of the most important functions of binaural hearing processing that is based on detection of fine interaural time and interaural intensity difference. spatial hearing is beyond auditory localization and lateralization. it helps auditory scene analysis and target stream segregation from other simultaneous sound sources. this function is important in spe...
