Abstract Background Children with specific language impairment (SLI) fail to develop age-appropriate despite being apparently normal in other respects. Those children usually have abnormal speech perception noise. This work is designed investigate background noise those children. It included two groups of children: control group (15 typical development) and study (25 diagnosed SLI). All were su...

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...

This study evaluated how hearing-impaired listeners perceive native (Swedish) and nonnative (English) speech in the presence of noise- and speech maskers. Speech reception thresholds were measured for four different masker types for each target language. The maskers consisted of stationary and fluctuating noise and two-talker babble in Swedish and English. Twenty-three hearing-impaired native S...

Speech communication commonly occurs in the presence of noise. Perceptual errors in the perception of noise-masked speech vary as a function of noise type (e.g., white noise, speech-shaped noise, multi-talker babble), listener characteristics (e.g., listeners with hearing loss, non-native listeners), and target stimulus properties (e.g., native language of the talker, casual vs clear speech). T...

Children who have hearing loss or other auditory disorders are at risk for educational difficulties, especially when the detrimental effects of an impaired auditory system are combined with poor classroom acoustics. Classroom observations, teacher questionnaires, and speech perception measures in noise may be used to identify children who are at-risk and to evaluate the effects of classroom noi...

OBJECTIVE We investigated a neural basis of speech-in-noise perception in older adults. Hearing loss, the third most common chronic condition in older adults, is most often manifested by difficulty understanding speech in background noise. This trouble with understanding speech in noise, which occurs even in individuals who have normal-hearing thresholds, may arise, in part, from age-related de...

Abstract Background The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect “Spatially separated speech in noise” auditory training on ability perception noise among bimodal fitting users. assumption that rehabilitation can enhance spatial hearing and hence perception. This an interventional study, with a pre/post-design. Speech recognition assessed specific tests. After performing stages interv...
