background and aim: bilingualism is an important phenomenon with different effects on each aspect of language processing. auditory temporal processing is a major component of the auditory processing ability. since bilingual and monolingual individual’s brain process are different, and no studies have yet been conducted on the effect of temporal processing on speech recognition performance of az...

To advance the understanding of genetic mechanisms involved in the patterning and the differentiation of the vertebrate auditory system, we screened for mutations affecting ear development in the zebrafish larva. Fifteen recessive mutant alleles have been isolated and analyzed. The phenotypes of these mutants involve abnormalities in ear morphology, otolith formation, or both processes in paral...

introduction: one of the most common pathologies in neonates is hyperbilirubinemia, which is a good marker for damage to the central nervous system. the sensitivity of the auditory system to bilirubin has been previously documented, with much discrepancy in its effects on auditory brainstem response results. thus the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of hyperbilirubinemia on a...

  Background :Older adults with cerebrovascular accident (CVA) show evidence of auditory and speech perception problems. In present study, it was examined whether these problems are due to impairments of concurrent auditory segregation procedure which is the basic level of auditory scene analysis and auditory organization in auditory scenes with competing sounds.   Methods : Concurrent auditory...

Introduction: Tinnitus is a perception of sound without external source. For complete assessment of tinnitus, central auditory processing abilities should be considered in addition to the routine psychological evaluation of tinnitus characteristics. Temporal processing is one of the important auditory skills that are necessary for complex higher level auditory processing.   Materials and Method...

the authors used high-resolution computed tomography (hrct) for studying 52 congenitally malformed ears in 45 children between five and 10 years of age. in six children the malformations were bilateral. the malformations clinically manifested as microtia, atresia of the external auditory canal and conductive deafness. analyzing anatomical details and pathological changes on hrct axial sections ...

background and aim: tinnitus is perception of sound in absence of external source. reaction time is the time between sensory stimuli and a behavior. alternation of auditory reaction time has been shown in the literature in patients with tinnitus. this study has investigated the auditory reaction time in quiet and noise to different frequencies. methods: fifteen subjects with chronic tinnitus pa...

 Background: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of the Persian version of the Sustained Auditory Attention Capacity Test in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Methods: The Persian version of the Sustained Auditory Attention Capacity Test was constructed to assess sustained auditory attention using the meth...
