We investigated low-level auditory spectral and temporal processing in adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and early language delay compared to matched typically developing controls. Auditory measures were designed to target right versus left auditory cortex processing (i.e. frequency discrimination and slow amplitude modulation (AM) detection versus gap-in-noise detection and faste...

This study reports longitudinal follow-up of 300 children with developmental dysphasia. Their expressive disturbances are a manifestation of their auditory decoding impairment. These children were investigated on battery of tests of spoken language, of phonological processing and of different audiometric procedures, in order to register all the information necessary to be able judge the speech-...

Purpose: To describe speech disorders in students from 1 to 4 grades, and to investigate possible associations between these disorders and stomatognathic system and auditory processing disorders. Methods: Cross-sectional study with stratified random sample composed of 288 students, calculated based on an universe of 1,189 children enrolled in public schools from the area covered by a health cen...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this case report was to investigate the relationship between sleep disorders and audio vestibular symptoms. CASE REPORT A case of undiagnosed sleep disorder, presenting as a temporary auditory processing difficulty, is presented. The disorder was initially treated as sudden deafness with dizziness. A 23-year-old male patient complained of acute hearing disturbance desp...

(Central) auditory processing disorder (C)APD has been defined as a neural deficit in the processing of auditory stimuli and its underlying brain activity (Chermak & Musiek, 2007), although there is no consensus in the field surrounding its definition, diagnosis, assessment or intervention (DeBonis & Moncrieff, 2008; McArthur, 2009). Auditory training is one form of intervention often used to t...

This study aims to investigate working, declarative, and procedural memory in children with (central) auditory processing disorder who showed poor phonological awareness. Thirty 9- and 10-year-old children participated in the study and were distributed into two groups: a control group consisting of 15 children with typical development, and an experimental group consisting of 15 children with (c...

Development of normal speech and language functions is closely related to normal hearing. However, most children with delayed or disturbed speech development show normal tone thresholds and here the investigation has to include higher levels in the auditory system. There is evidence for a connection between language impairment and a central auditory processing disorder, but the underlying mecha...
