The Effects of Room Acoustics on Auditory Spatial Cues The signals reaching the listener’s ears directly from a sound source convey information about the source’s location (Blauert 1997; Schnupp et al. 2010). However, in ordinary settings, soon after the direct sound reaches the listener, reflected sound arrives from random directions, coming off of walls, floors, and other reflective surfaces....

abstract   introduction: conductive hearing loss attenuates and delays sound transmission in the middle ear. it can make variety of central auditory processing disorders; that persists even after resolve of peripheral auditory system problems. one of the aspects of central auditory processing is the temporal processing, which is important for understanding speech, including temporal resolution,...

This study examined if the size of the McGurk effect depends on the size of stimulus set presented in a block. The auditory syllables used in the present experiment was dubbed with either a compatible visible syllable or a discrepant visible syllable about place of articu-lation, resulting in 16 audiovisual stimuli. In the small set condition, two auditory consonants, {/pa/ and /ta/ } in one ca...

Multisensory interactions occur early in time and in low-level cortical areas, including primary cortices. To test current models of early auditory-visual (AV) convergence in unisensory visual brain areas, we studied the effect of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of visual cortex on behavioral responses to unisensory (auditory or visual) or multisensory (simultaneous auditory-visual) sti...

background: noise-induced hearing loss (nihl) is one of the most common occupational illnesses. most of the studies on nihl were conducted at high noise levels that people are rarely exposed to but in industries. the function of the outer hair cells (ohcs) is impaired after exposure to industrial noise. distortion product otoacoustic emissions (dpoaes) are useful in examination of noise-induced...

Presenting information to multiple sensory modalities sometimes facilitates and sometimes interferes with processing of this information. Research examining interference effects shows that auditory input often interferes with processing of visual input in young children (i.e., auditory dominance effect), whereas visual input often interferes with auditory processing in adults (i.e., visual domi...

abstract introduction: omega 3 fatty acid especially in the form of fish oil, has structural and biological role in the body's various systems especially nervous system. numerous studies have tried to research about it. auditory is one of the affected systems. omega 3 deficiency can have devastating effects on the nervous system and auditory. this study aimed to evaluate neural conduction ...

introduction: preterm birth is a risk factor for a number of conditions that requires comprehensive examination. our study was designed to investigate the impact of preterm birth on the processing of auditory stimuli and brain structures at the brainstem level at a preschool age.   materials and methods: an auditory brainstem response (abr) test was performed with low rates of stimuli in 60 chi...
