conclusions the results suggested that pa skills in children with phonological disorders are affected by error type. we also found the type of errors that can play a more effective role in pa investigations as compared to pcc. the results also showed that children with cap require special attention. results the cap group showed significant difference with the nd group in alliteration (p = 0.001...

background: previous studies have shown that interaural-time-difference (itd) training can improve localization ability. surprisingly little is, however, known about localization training vis-à-vis speech perception in noise based on interaural time difference in the envelope (itd env). we sought to investigate the reliability of an itd env-based training program in speech-in-noise perception a...
