The effects of hearing impairment on the perception of binaural-pitch stimuli were investigated. Several experiments were performed with normal-hearing and hearing-impaired listeners, including detection and discrimination of binaural pitch, and melody recognition using different types of binaural pitches. For the normal-hearing listeners, all types of binaural pitches could be perceived immedi...

perrault's syndrome (p.s.) is rare. the combination of gonadal dysgenesis and hearing loss was accompanied by 46,xxkaryotype in three sisters with parental consanguineous marriage. genetic investigation revealed normal female karyotype, positive liarr and negative fluorescence ipj-bodies, which was confirmed by molecular study on the basis of fluorescence in situ hybridization (pish), with appl...

conclusions significant difference in the fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, silence duration, friction duration, vocalization duration, and vocal cords contact quality index between the two groups was observed (p < 0.01). results the mean of fundamental frequency for the hearing loss children and the control group were 323.04 hz and 267.53 hz, jitter 10.05% and 1.52%, shimmer 17.24 and 5....

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the hearing thresholds during the first year of life in infants who failed the newborn hearing screening (NHS) test and of infants treated in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). METHODS From March 2007 to November 2010, 193 healthy infants who failed the NHS test and 51 infants who were treated in the NICU were referred for e...

Introduction: There is insufficient information about the correlation between hearing and visual impairments. Its importance arises when trainers should care about medical issues of their clients. Refractive errors of the eye are one of the main causes of visual loss in the society. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between refractive errors in the eye (by the type of r...

OBJECTIVES To determine the prevalence of hearing loss in school-age children who have undergone neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment and to identify any effects of hearing loss on speech- and language development [corrected] . DESIGN Prospective longitudinal follow-up study within the framework of a structured post-extracorporeal membrane oxygenation follow-up program. SE...
