We compared auditory, cognitive, and language test results in a pair of dizygotic twins, one of whom showed symptoms of central auditory processing disorder (CAPD). Results highlight the importance of testing binaural function. In particular, electrophysiologic measures of dichotic listening effectively demonstrated the auditory-specific nature of this child's listening problems. The importance...

A prior study (Bruder, G.E., Stewart, J.W., Mercier, M.A., Agosti, V., Leite, P., Donovan, S., Quitkin, F.M., 1997. Outcome of cognitive-behavioral therapy for depression: relation of hemispheric dominance for verbal processing. Journal of Abnormal Psychology 106, 138-144.) found left hemisphere advantage for verbal dichotic listening was predictive of clinical response to cognitive behavioral ...

Patients with multiple sclerosis reported less left ear numbers but more right ear numbers than controls in a dichotic listening test. The multiple sclerosis patients were also relatively impaired on three learning tasks; one of these, a test for paired-associate learning of names and faces, correlated with left ear findings; the results are interpreted as supporting a hypothesised disconnectio...

PURPOSE To evaluate and compare the dichotic listening abilities in non-hearing-impaired adults monolingual speakers of the Brazilian Portuguese language (CG) and simultaneous Brazilian Portuguese-German (GG) bilingual speakers or successive Brazilian Portuguese-Italian bilingual speakers (IG). METHODS This is about an observational, descriptive, transverse and quantitative research. The samp...

Few studies have addressed the long-term outcomes of early brain injury, especially after hemorrhagic stroke. This is the first study to report a case of acquired auditory processing disorder in a 10-year-old child who had a severe left hemorrhagic cerebral infarction at 13 months of age, compromising nearly all of the left temporal lobe. This case, therefore, is an excellent and rare opportuni...

The electroencephalogram (EEG) reflects the electrical activity of the brain as recorded by placing several electrodes on the scalp. The EEG is widely used for diagnostic evaluation of various brain disorders such as determining the type and location of the activity observed during an epileptic seizure or for studying sleep disorders [1]. The dichotic listening (DL) paradigm is often used to as...

Sensorineural hearing loss is commonly accompanied by reduced frequency selectivity, which causes the larger adverse effect of masking. To cope with this issue, some studies have addressed the effects of dichotic listening to reduce the masking between contiguous frequency bands. This paper investigates sound image localization perceived in both dichotic and diotic listening conditions, as well...
