background and aim: it has been several decades since the technology of frequency lowering (fl) has been proposed. however, primary research has revealed no benefits regarding the use of this technique. currently, new methods for fl and improvement of perception of speech and fricative sounds have led to the application of these methods by numerous companies to produce hearing aids. in this stu...

purpose: to evaluate the effect of vertical prism induced stress on binocular visual evoked potentials. methods: using checkerboard stimulus patterns in two spatial frequencies (sfs) of 0.48 cpd as a low sf and 2.18 cpd as a moderate sf reversing with temporal frequency of 4 hz, the effect of increasing visual stress using vertical prisms of 0, 1, 2 and 3 prism diopters on binocular visual evok...
