The acoustic rearing environment can alter central auditory coding properties, yet altered neural coding is seldom linked with specific deficits to adult perceptual skills. To test whether developmental hearing loss resulted in comparable changes to perception and sensory coding, we examined behavioral and neural detection thresholds for sinusoidally amplitude modulated (sAM) stimuli. Behaviora...

introduction: hearing loss from birth up to the age of 3 years has a negative effect on speech/language development and results in sensory, cognitive, emotional, and academic defects in adulthood by causing delayed development of communicative-linguistic abilities. the present study was performed in order to assess the effect of early intervention on language development in persian children age...

background and aim: children with hearing loss and children with intellectual developme­ntal disorders have defects in organizing and sensory integration. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of hearing impairment and intellectual disability on children's static and dynamic balance. methods: this cross-sectional comparative stu­dy was conducted on 17 boys with congenital severe to ...
