background and aim: auditory temporal resolution skill is calculated according to the minimum required time to analyze or integrate acoustic events. this skill, which is essential for speech perception, was evaluated by gap detection tests. the aim of this study was to determine the presence or absence of any differences between the right and left ear in the gap detection test. methods: after p...

We carried out extensive audiologic, electrophysiologic, and neuropsychologic testing on a young woman who complained that she had difficulty hearing in her educational environment. Conventional audiometric results, including pure-tone, speech, and immittance audiometry, were all within normal limits. The subject performed normally on tests involving the processing of rapidly changing temporal ...

We compared auditory, cognitive, and language test results in a pair of dizygotic twins, one of whom showed symptoms of central auditory processing disorder (CAPD). Results highlight the importance of testing binaural function. In particular, electrophysiologic measures of dichotic listening effectively demonstrated the auditory-specific nature of this child's listening problems. The importance...

Historically, there has been much debate among professionals in many disciplines regarding the nature of central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) and the best means of diagnosing and treating it. In recent years, professionals in the fields of audiology, speech-language pathology, education, and related disciplines have witnessed a dramatic upsurge in interest regarding CAPD in both children...

introduction: tinnitus is a perception of sound without external source. for complete assessment of tinnitus, central auditory processing abilities should be considered in addition to the routine psychological evaluation of tinnitus characteristics. temporal processing is one of the important auditory skills that are necessary for complex higher level auditory processing.   materials and method...
