Objective(s): We sought to explore whether neuregulin-1(NRG1) would have a protective effect on the auditory cortices of adult C57BL/6J mice.Materials and Methods: We used RTPCR and Western blot (WB) to detect the expression of NRG1 and ERBB4 (the receptor of NRG1) in the auditory cortices of C57BL/6J mice of different ages (6–8 weeks an...

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess the auditory lateralization ability in children with (central) auditory processing disorder. Methods: Participants were divided in two groups: 15 children with Central Auditory Processing Disorder (8-10 years) and 80 normal children (8-11 years) from both genders with pure-tone air-conduction thresholds better than 20 dB HL bilaterally a...

Objectives: This study investigated the efficacy of working memory training for improving working memory capacity and related auditory stream segregation in auditory processing disorders children. Methods: Fifteen subjects (9-11 years), clinically diagnosed with auditory processing disorder participated in this non-randomized case-controlled trial. Working memory abilities and auditory strea...

introduction: hearing loss is one of the most common problems in elderly people. functional side effects of hearing loss are various. due to the fact that hearing loss is the common impairment in elderly people; the importance of its possible effects on auditory memory is undeniable. this study aims to focus on the hearing loss effects on auditory memory.   materials and methods: dichotic audit...

since cochlear implants can now be provided for children before the age of 1 year, the development of a family-centered habilitation program is essential for this age group. the present study was done to investigate the effectiveness of navayesh” auditory habilitation program on communication skills of cochlear implantation candidates. 32 mothers along with their 3-12 months deaf infants partic...

background : the number of children with cochlear implants who have other difficulties such as attention deficiency and cerebral palsy has increased dramatically. despite the need for information on the results of cochlear implantation in this group, the available literature is extremely limited. we, therefore, sought to compare the levels of auditory perception in children with cochlear implan...

background: this study assessed the relationship between working memory capacity and auditory stream segregation by using the concurrent minimum audible angle in children with a diagnosed auditory processing disorder (apd). methods: the participants in this cross-sectional, comparative study were 20 typically developing children and 15 children with a diagnosed apd (age, 9–11 years) according t...
