background and aim : auditory processing disorder (apd) weakens recognition and understanding auditory data and adversely affects children's language and learning if remains undetected and untreated. since early diagnosis of apd can obviate its adverse effects, screening is hugely important in identifying suspected cases. auditory processing domain questionnaire (apdq) is a reliable tool among ...

background and aim: the double dichotic digit test (ddt) is a simple test for assessing and screening auditory processing system. the purpose of this study was to develope a double ddt, in persian language and find its basic norm values in girls aged 7 to 11 years. methods: the persian version of double ddt is composed of 3 different 25 numerical lists. numbers in each list were recorded dichot...

This study aimed at investigating the effect of visual (Cuisenaire Rods) and auditory nonsensical monosyllables using Pratt speech processing software as teaching techniques on retention of word stress. To this end, 60 high school participants made the two experimental groups of the study each having 30 students on the basis of their proficiency scores on KET (Key English Test). In one experime...

background: this study assessed the relationship between working memory capacity and auditory stream segregation by using the concurrent minimum audible angle in children with a diagnosed auditory processing disorder (apd). methods: the participants in this cross-sectional, comparative study were 20 typically developing children and 15 children with a diagnosed apd (age, 9–11 years) according t...

background and aim: this study investigated whether objective temporal processing paradigms including voice-onset-time, speech-in-noise, and amplitude modulated-broad-band noise (am-bbn) are sensitive to disrupted temporal processing in elderly listeners with normal hearing (age-related-temporal processing deficit). methods: we evaluated 15 adults aged 64–80 years using behavioural measures of ...

Background: This study assessed the relationship between working memory capacity and auditory stream segregation by using the concurrent minimum audible angle in children with a diagnosed auditory processing disorder (APD).Methods: The participants in this cross-sectional, comparative study were 20 typically developing children and 15 children with a diagnosed APD (age, 9–11 years) according to...

The human auditory cortex is the gateway to the most powerful and complex communication systems and yet relatively little is known about its functional organization as compared to the visual system. Several lines of evidence, predominantly from recent studies, indicate that sound recognition and sound localization are processed in two at least partially independent networks. Evidence from human...

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 de...
