hypernasality is a frequently occurring resonance disorder in children with cleft palate. generally an operation is necessary to reduce the hypernasality and therefore an assessment of hypernasality is imperative to quantify the effect of the surgery and design the speech therapy sessions which are crucial after surgery. in this paper, a new quantitative method is proposed to estimate hypernasa...

background and aim: bilingualism is an important phenomenon with different effects on each aspect of language processing. auditory temporal processing is a major component of the auditory processing ability. since bilingual and monolingual individual’s brain process are different, and no studies have yet been conducted on the effect of temporal processing on speech recognition performance of az...

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 ...

Aims: Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder. Deficit in sensory functions is one of the characteristics of people with autism, and usually these people show abnormality in processing and correct interpretation of auditory information. Also people with Autism show problems in communicating with others. This review article deals with the accurate understanding of Auditory processing skills...

background and aim: spatial hearing is one of the most important functions of binaural hearing processing that is based on detection of fine interaural time and interaural intensity difference. spatial hearing is beyond auditory localization and lateralization. it helps auditory scene analysis and target stream segregation from other simultaneous sound sources. this function is important in spe...

background and aim: auditory processing disorder and dyslexia have been reported by many studies as having high comorbidity. the purpose of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of central auditory processing rehabilitation program on speech reception in noise and dichotic listening in dyslexic students. the research was quasi-experimental, including a pretest, posttest and a control g...
