Single and double dichotic digit tests in Malay language were developed and standardized as an initial attempt to incorporate tests of auditory processing within the scope of audiology practice in Malaysia. Normative data under free recall, directed right-ear first, and directed left-ear first listening conditions were determined using 120 Malay children between the ages of 6 and 11 years old w...

conclusions monaural and binaural recognition of words and digits-in-noise are impaired in ld children with dichotic listening deficit. it seems that bdsd children show an inter-aural asymmetry in recognition of words-in-noise with poorer performance in the right ear. background previous studies have reported the weakness of recognition of speech-in-noise and dichotic listening deficit in learn...

Three tests of dichotic listening utilizing speech signals as stimuli are included on the VA-CD Tonal and Speech Materials for Auditory Perceptual Assessment, Disc 1.0. They include a dichotic monosyllabic digits task, a dichotic synthetic sentences task, and a dichotic nonsense syllable (CV) task. Since the materials were specially recorded or created and recorded for use on the VA-CD, normati...

background and aim: aging is associated with reduced cognitive abilities including attention and memory. there is some evidence that shows randomized dichotic digits test (rddt) has enough difficulty to show the ear asymmetry in dichotic listening. this study aimed to compare the effect of free and focused attention on dichotic listening ability of young and elderly listeners. methods: the cros...

Introduction In past dichotic listening studies, linguistic stimuli have shown a right ear advantage, implying left hemisphere dominance for language processing, while other stimuli incorporating pitch distinctions have shown no ear preference or a left ear (right hemisphere) advantage. An experiment was devized to compare ear preferences in tone language speakers for thl,"ee sets of stimuli: p...

In this article we review research in our laboratory on auditory hallucinations using behavioral and MRI measure. The review consists of both previously published and new data that for the first time is presented together in a cohesive way. Auditory hallucinations are among the most common symptoms in schizophrenia, affecting more than 70% of the patients. We here advance the hypothesis that au...

In this article, the low back vowel /A/ in word-final positions in Eghlidian dialect, one of Persian dialects, is studied. This vowel is represented phonetically as [A], [o] and [@] in different phonetic environments. Therefore many words were collected via interviewing ten native speakers so that these different alternant forms can be accounted for appropriately. Since one of the authors of th...

background and aim: auditory processing disorder and dyslexia have been reported by many studies as having high comorbidity. the purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of central auditory processing rehabilitation program on speech reception in noise and dichotic listening in dyslexic students. the research was quasi-experimental, including a pretest, posttest and a control g...

We hypothesized that the Digit Span (DS) subtest and component tasks (Wechsler, 1991) would show strong relationships with a dichotic listening test (Musiek, 1983). In two sets of archival clinical data (N = 74 and N = 51) we demonstrated that: (a) individuals with central auditory deficits had lower DS scores, F(1, 72) = 7.34, p = .008; eta2 = .09; and (b) left-ear dichotic deficits impacted f...
