Auditory agnosia refers to the defective recognition of auditory stimuli in the context of preserved hearing. There has been considerable interest in this topic for over a hundred years despite the apparent rarity of the disorder and potential diagnostic confusion with deafness or even Alzheimer's disease (Mendez and Rosenberg, 1991—see Case P593 below). Following Lissauer's (1890) distinction ...

objectives: rehabilitation strategies play a pivotal role in reliving the inappropriate behaviors and improving children's performance during school. concentration and visual and auditory comprehension in children are crucial to effective learning and have drawn interest from researchers and clinicians. vestibular function deficits usually cause high level of alertness and vigilance, and p...

The purpose of this project was to determine whether a monaural FM or binaural FM fitting strategy is more appropriate for children with Auditory Processing Disorders

OBJECTIVES Measuring core body temperature is crucial for preventing heat stress disorders in workers. We developed a method for measuring auditory canal temperatures based on a thermocouple inserted into a sponge-type earplug. We verified that the tip of this thermocouple is positioned safely, allowing the wearer to engage in normal physical tasks; this position averaged 6.6 mm from the tympan...

Cell transplantation therapy has long been investigated as a therapeutic intervention for neurodegenerative disorders, including spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Indeed, patients have high hopes for a cell-based therapy. However, there are numerous practical challenges for clinical translation. One major problem is that only very low numbers of donor c...

ABSTRACT Purpose: to assess the literature about accuracy of screening instruments for identifying Central Auditory Processing Disorders (CAPD). Methods: search strategies were performed in following databases: CINAHL, LILACS, PubMed /MEDLINE, Scopus, Speechbite and Web Science. A was also carried out grey literature. Four independent reviewers selected included articles using a two-phase proce...

Objectives: to verify the effects of a speech therapy intervention program in children after moderate and severe traumatic brain injury using electrophysiological behavioral assessment central auditory processing. Method: Five aged 9 11 years old who suffered closed trauma or degree for at least 6 months, right-handed, literate before injury, diagnosed with Central Auditory Processing Reading W...

background: noise-induced hearing loss (nihl) is one of the most common occupational illnesses. most of the studies on nihl were conducted at high noise levels that people are rarely exposed to but in industries. the function of the outer hair cells (ohcs) is impaired after exposure to industrial noise. distortion product otoacoustic emissions (dpoaes) are useful in examination of noise-induced...

This article summarizes findings from a series of studies that examined platelet monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in patients with nonaffective schizophrenic disorders and schizophrenia-related depressions. The findings indicate that mean platelet MAO activity was not different from control values in the subgroup of nonaffective schizophrenic disorders without auditory hallucinations (that is, ...
