background :older adults with cerebrovascular accident (cva) show evidence of auditory and speech perception problems. in present study, it was examined whether these problems are due to impairments of concurrent auditory segregation procedure which is the basic level of auditory scene analysis and auditory organization in auditory scenes with competing sounds. methods : concurrent auditory seg...

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...

The ovarian hormones fluctuate during the menstrual cycle in women. Such fluctuation of sex hormones, in particular estrogen, is believed to affect the central conduction time in auditory function as well as the language lateralization in cognitive function. However, findings are inconsistent. The underlying mechanisms are also unclear. This paper examined if there was any relation between the ...

We studied 49 patients with partial epilepsy divided into lesional cases (i.e. with lesions on CT scan) and non-lesional cases (i.e. without CT scan lesions), in relation to the Wechsler Intelligence Scale subtests (Coding, Digit span), dichotic listening CV task and Central Auditory Test (SSI, PSI). The aim of this paper was to study the hemispheric prevalence in dichotic listening task with r...

OBJECTIVE To analyze auditory processing test results in children suffering from otitis media in their first five years of age, considering their age. Furthermore, to classify central auditory processing test findings regarding the hearing skills evaluated. METHODS A total of 109 students between 8 and 12 years old were divided into three groups. The control group consisted of 40 students fro...

OBJECTIVE to investigate auditory function in subjects with early Alzheimer's disease, mild cognitive impairment and with subjective memory complaints, in search of signs of central auditory processing dysfunction even in early stages of cognitive impairment. DESIGN AND SUBJECTS a consecutive group of men and women, referred to the Memory Clinic at the Karolinska University Hospital, was appr...

1. Introduction Since Broadbent (1954) [1] first conducted a dichotic listening task by simultaneously presenting a pair of similar speech sounds at each ear, many aspects of dichotic listening have been studied, including Kimura's early interpretation from a neurological point of view [2]. In a dichotic listening task, a right-ear advantage is often observed, because language processing takes ...

Auditory processing during childhood may be altered if there is any predisposing factor during the course of development. Neurological disorders are among the risk factors for auditory processing disorders. Some studies have shown verbal auditory processing disorder in children with epilepsy. Objective To verify the performance of children with epilepsy on a nonverbal dichotic test. Methods...

background and aim: dichotic listening tests have been used to study right ear advantage (rea). fused dichotic rhymed word test (fdrwt), using rhymed words, is advantage­ous because of reducing the effect of attention on the test results. development of persian version of the fdrwt, and evaluation of its psychometric properties in normal children were the aims of the present study. methods: thi...
