objectives: the prevalence of consanguineous marriage is about 30 % in iran and this can increase the probability of incidence of genetic impairments such as hearing impairments. hearing impairment in comparison with other hereditary disorders is the most incident. the purpose of this survey is to identify the prevalence of consanguinity among the parents of sensoryneural hearing impaired stude...

Memory processes could account for a significant part of the variance in language performances of hearing-impaired children. However, the circumstance in which the performance of hearing-impaired children can be nearly the same as the performance of hearing children remains relatively little studied. Thus, a group of pre-school children with congenital, bilateral hearing loss and a group of pre...

In a previous study [1] on vowel rounding anticipatory perception through a fricative consonant stream with a gating paradigm, we discovered that auditory information could be, in this VCV frame, ahead of visual information, and even of audiovisual information (hence A>AV>V). We propose here to extend this experiment to different modality-impaired groups of adults and children, namely: (i) to b...

Introduction: For the assessment of child development in the deaf is effective protocols are needed for this population, as in Brazil, standardized tests for these children are still scarce 4.5. Thus, emphasis is placed on studying child development in deaf so that therapeutic and educational approaches are contemplated in accordance with the needs of each child. Objective: Analyze the performa...

Frequency lowering technologies offer an alternative amplification solution for severe to profound high frequency hearing losses. While frequency lowering technologies may improve audibility of high frequency sounds, the very nature of this processing can affect the perceived sound quality. This article reports the results from two studies that investigated the impact of a nonlinear frequency c...
