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...

objectives: the aim of the present study was to assess the auditory lateralization ability in children with (central) auditory processing disorder. methods: participants were divided in two groups: 15 children with central auditory processing disorder (8-10 years) and 80 normal children (8-11 years) from both genders with pure-tone air-conduction thresholds better than 20 db hl bilaterally and ...

introduction: the aim of this case report was to investigate the relationship between sleep disorders and audio vestibular symptoms.   case report: a case of undiagnosed sleep disorder, presenting as a temporary auditory processing difficulty, is presented. the disorder was initially treated as sudden deafness with dizziness. a 23-year-old male patient complained of acute hearing disturbance de...

background and aim: tinnitus retraining therapy (trt) comprises comprehensive edu­cational counseling and sound therapy. the aim of this study was to compare the eff­ectiveness of trt relative to a simplified version of trt (strt). simplified trt is different from trt in the duration and type of the educational counseling (shorter) but is similar to trt in the application of sound therapy. meth...

OBJECTIVE To validate self-reported hearing-related symptoms among personnel exposed to moderately high occupational noise levels at an obstetrics clinic. DESIGN Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values were calculated for questionnaire items assessing hearing loss, tinnitus, sound sensitivity, poor hearing, difficulty perceiving speech, and sound-induced auditory fatigue. Hearing diso...

Background and Objective: Early detection of neonatal hearing disorders is a suitable measure of speech and behavioral development. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hearing disorder in high-risk neonates treated in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).  Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 150 neonates treated in the NICU of Besat Hospital in ...
