introduction: hearing loss is one of the most common problems in elderly people. functional side effects of hearing loss are various. due to the fact that hearing loss is the common impairment in elderly people; the importance of its possible effects on auditory memory is undeniable. this study aims to focus on the hearing loss effects on auditory memory.   materials and methods: dichotic audit...

Objective: The aim of the present research was to compare the auditory perception and verbal intelligibility in children with cochlear implant, hearing aids and normal hearing. Methods: 60 children aged 5-7 years were divided to three groups and each group contained 20 children. The first and second groups were selected ordinarily from children with cochlear implant and hearing aids by conve...

BACKGROUND Auditory hallucinations (eg, hearing voices) are relatively common and underreported false sensory experiences that may produce distress and impairment. A large proportion of those who experience auditory hallucinations go unidentified and untreated. Traditional engagement methods oftentimes fall short in reaching the diverse population of people who experience auditory hallucination...

Fluent speech with phonological paraphasia is characteristic of conduction aphasia and Wernicke’s aphasia. Phonological paraphasia is characterized by speech sound errors that still convey the intended meaning. Some patients with phonological paraphasia show auditory–verbal short-term memory (STM) disturbances. However, it is not certain that phonological paraphasia results from such memory dis...

Hypercoupling of activity in speech-perception-specific brain networks has been proposed to play a role in the generation of auditory-verbal hallucinations (AVHs) in schizophrenia; however, it is unclear whether this hypercoupling extends to nonverbal auditory perception. We investigated this by comparing schizophrenia patients with and without AVHs, and healthy controls, on task-based function...

Background: In the current healthcare system that often does not allow intensive and long-term rehabilitation services, computerised aphasia treatment is considered a promising alternative. Despite the increasing interest, it is largely unknown which components of computer programs are crucial in enhancing speech-language functions of individuals with aphasia. Aims: The current study compared a...

Effects of both domain-specific and broader cognitive remediation protocols have been reported for neural activity and overt performance in schizophrenia (SZ). Progress is limited by insufficient knowledge of relevant neural mechanisms. Addressing neuronal signal resolution in the auditory system as a mechanism contributing to cognitive function and dysfunction in schizophrenia, the present stu...
