This paper presents a brief review of temporal processing, its relevance to audiologists, and methods for its clinical evaluation. Results are then summarized from the administration of four tests of auditory temporal resolution (Auditory Fusion Test-Revised [AFTR], Random Gap Detection Test [RGDT], Binaural Fusion Test [BFT], and Gaps-In-Noise Test [GIN]) to ten children with normal hearing (m...

INTRODUCTION It has been demonstrated that long-term Conductive Hearing Loss (CHL) may influence the precise detection of the temporal features of acoustic signals or Auditory Temporal Processing (ATP). It can be argued that ATP may be the underlying component of many central auditory processing capabilities such as speech comprehension or sound localization. Little is known about the consequen...

PURPOSE To establish the standard criteria for the Gaps-in-Noise (GIN) test in 9-year-old normal-hearing children; to obtain the mean gap detection thresholds; and to verify the influence of the variables gender and ear on the gap detection thresholds. METHODS Forty normal-hearing individuals, 20 male and 20 female, with ages ranging from 9 years to 9 years and 11 months, were evaluated. The ...

background and aim: different tests have been developed to evaluate reduced ability of speech perception in noise, and the words-in-noise test is one of the easiest ones in terms of speech materials. this study aimed to develop and determine the validity and reliability of the persian version of the words-in-noise (win) test for 7 to 12-year-old children. methods: this research is a tool-making...

PURPOSE This study was designed to examine speech understanding ability and temporal processing in middle-aged women with normal or near-normal pure-tone thresholds. RESEARCH DESIGN Speech understanding, temporal processing ability, and self-assessed hearing were measured in groups of younger and middle-aged females. STUDY SAMPLE Participants were younger and middle-aged females (n = 12 per...

background: one of the most common complaints expressed by individuals with hearing-impairment is the difficulty in speech perception in background noise. different tests have been developed for the evaluation of reduced ability of speech perception in noise, and the consonant-vowel in noise test is one of the simplest one regard to speech materials. the goal of the present study was developmen...

ABSTRACT Purpose: to assess whether there is a relationship between temporal auditory processing skills and altered distinctive features in cases of phonological disorder. Methods: 18 children aged 6 8 years, diagnosed with disorders participated the research. All underwent speech-language screening, assessment through GIN - Gap Noise Test, TPF Frequency Pattern Test TPD Duration Test. The numb...

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 METHODS...
