UNLABELLED Aging can alter temporal processing and affect speech perception. AIM To compare temporal processing auditory processing in elderly subject to and new hearing aid users. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study included 60 elderly patients with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The procedures selected were the Duration Pattern Tests (DPT) and gaps in noise (GIN) test were used to anal...

INTRODUCTION Auditory temporal resolution and auditory temporal ordering are two major components of the auditory temporal processing abilities that contribute to speech perception and language development. Auditory temporal resolution and auditory temporal ordering can be evaluated by gap-in-noise (GIN) and pitch-pattern-sequence (PPS) tests, respectively. In this survey, the effect of bilingu...

background and aim : the quick speech in noise (q-sin) test have been designed to evalu­ate individuals’ ability to recognize speech in noise. this study established to evaluate the test-retest reliability and equivalency of the five test lists of the persian q-sin test in subjects with sensory hearing loss (shl) and normal hearing individuals. methods : this cross-sectional study was per­forme...

Compromised temporal resolving power of the auditory system can be one of the main factors contributing to poor speech perception skills in the elderly. Very few of the earlier studies have systematically examined this aspect. Hence, the current study was designed with the following objectives: 1) To establish normative database of Gaps in Noise (GIN) test in elderly population in an Indian con...

Purpose: To evaluate the auditory temporal processing in workers occupationally exposed to organophosphate pesticides. Methods: Cross-sectional study in which 43 rural workers of both genders with bilaterally normal auditory thresholds that were occupationally exposed to organophosphates were assessed. The procedures included the following items: questionnaire regarding personal and professiona...

Introduction Cochlear or neural mechanisms of tinnitus generation may affect auditory temporal resolution in tinnitus patients even with normal audiometry. Thus, studying the correlation between tinnitus characteristics and auditory temporal resolution in subjects with tinnitus may help in proper modification of tinnitus management strategy. Objective This study aims to examine the relationship...
