conclusions monaural and binaural recognition of words and digits-in-noise are impaired in ld children with dichotic listening deficit. it seems that bdsd children show an inter-aural asymmetry in recognition of words-in-noise with poorer performance in the right ear. background previous studies have reported the weakness of recognition of speech-in-noise and dichotic listening deficit in learn...

The two most salient dichotic pitches, the Huggins pitch (HP) and the binaural edge pitch (BEP), are produced by applying interaural phase transitions of 360 and 180 degrees, respectively, to a broadband noise. This paper examines accounts of these pitches, concentrating on a "central activity pattern" (CAP) model and a "modified equalization-cancellation" (mE-C) model. The CAP model proposes t...

Three tests of dichotic listening utilizing speech signals as stimuli are included on the VA-CD Tonal and Speech Materials for Auditory Perceptual Assessment, Disc 1.0. They include a dichotic monosyllabic digits task, a dichotic synthetic sentences task, and a dichotic nonsense syllable (CV) task. Since the materials were specially recorded or created and recorded for use on the VA-CD, normati...

Brain event-related potentials (ERPs) to probe tones in a dichotic complex tone test were recorded from right-handed depressed patients (n = 44) and normal subjects (n = 19) at homologous sites over left and right hemispheres (F3, F4; C3, C4; P3, P4; O1, O2). There were no differences between groups N1 or P2 amplitude, but patients had smaller P3 amplitude than did normal subjects. Depressed pa...

Introduction Auditory perception can be enhanced by musical training and practice. Considering the multiple brain areas involved in learning, good auditory perceptual skills contribute to phonological awareness, speech recognition presence of noise, reading, syllable recognition, other language skills. Material methods There were 30 adults between 18 27 years old who participated. They divided ...

background and aim: aging is associated with reduced cognitive abilities including attention and memory. there is some evidence that shows randomized dichotic digits test (rddt) has enough difficulty to show the ear asymmetry in dichotic listening. this study aimed to compare the effect of free and focused attention on dichotic listening ability of young and elderly listeners. methods: the cros...

A one-, two-, and three-pair dichotic digit test was administered to 180 subjects (20-79 years) with varying degrees of hearing sensitivity. The test was carried out under free- and directed-recall response conditions. The results indicated that recognition performance decreased as a function of increasing age. Statistical analysis using analysis of covariance indicated that differences in perf...

Auditory laterality and hemispheric asymmetry The differing perceptual and cognitive functions of the two cerebral hemispheres is one of the great discoveries and mysteries of the human brain (see Hugdahl & Westerhausen, 2009 for a recent review of the field). Ever since the groundbreaking work by the Nobel Laureate Roger Sperry (see Sperry 1974), mapping the different functions of the cerebral...

UNLABELLED Temporal epilepsy, one of the most common presentation of this pathology, causes excessive electrical discharges in the area where we have the final station of the auditory pathway. Both the anatomical and functional integrity of the auditory pathway structures are essential for the correct processing of auditory stimuli. AIM to check the Auditory Processing in patients with tempor...
