background: according to previous studies, most of the speech recognition disorders in older adults are the results of deficits in audibility and auditory temporal resolution. in this paper, the effect of ageing on timecompressed speech and auditory temporal resolution by word recognition in continuous and interrupted noise was studied. methods: a time-compressed speech test (tcst) was conducte...

abstract   introduction: conductive hearing loss attenuates and delays sound transmission in the middle ear. it can make variety of central auditory processing disorders; that persists even after resolve of peripheral auditory system problems. one of the aspects of central auditory processing is the temporal processing, which is important for understanding speech, including temporal resolution,...

Auditory symptoms of brain stem disorder depend on the nature of the lesion. This study compared auditory test results in 28 patients with extra-axial, 11 patients with intra-axial, and 6 patients with combined extra-axial and intra-axial brain stem disorders. Patients with extra-axial lesions usually demonstrated (1) sensitivity loss, (2) marked adaptation on Békésy audiometry, (3) impairment ...

UNLABELLED Auditory processing depends on afferent and efferent auditory pathways integrity. The efferent auditory system may be assessed in humans by two non-invasive and objective methods: acoustic reflex and otoacoustic emissions suppression. AIM Analyze the efferent auditory system activity by otoacoustic emission suppression and acoustic reflex sensitization in human subjects with audito...


 Background: Mental disorders are psychological or behavioral that occur in a person, generally associated with affective, behavioral, cognitive and perceptual disorders. Schizophrenic patients have symptoms including thought process disorders, affective emotional volitional psychomotor secondary the form of delusions hallucinations. Hallucinations one mental where client experiences chan...

Children with speech sound disorder (SSD) have incomplete phonological acquisition without organic alteration. These children’s exhibits multiple phoneme omission, substitution, and distortion errors. Auditory processing disorders (APD) are associated disorders. Since APD prevents the development of a stable representation phonemes in brain, it may cause issues make semantics, syntax, phonology...
