Temporal Resolution in School-Age Children with Cochlear Dead Regions.

Background: Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) has serious implications on temporal resolution when the nonfunctioning areas known as cochlear dead regions (DRs) exist. Previous studies have not clarified this effect in the pediatric population.

Purpose: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of DRs in school-age Egyptian children with SNHL and to explore the effect of these DRs on temporal resolution ability.
