Evaluation of Auditory Temporal Discrimination Thresholds in Migraine Patients.

Introduction: Although vestibular migraine is well defined, the effects of migraine on the auditory system have not been clearly identified yet. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of migraine on the auditory system.

Methods: Migraine patients without hearing loss were included in the study.

How to Improve Language Development of Preschoolers in Home Care.

Background/aim: The home environment is important for early childhood neurodevelopment. The objective of this cross-sectional survey was to research the association between family characteristics and language development in healthy preschoolers under isolated home care.

Methods: This cross-sectional study included 115 children aged 5-60 months in isolated home care.

Evaluation of Central Auditory Processing in Musicians and Non-Musicians.

Purpose: Auditory processing is the analysis of sounds' attributions such as localization, lateralization, temporality, frequency, loudness, phase, auditory memory and auditory attention through primer and secondar central auditory paths. This study aims to show that music contributes on auditory processing by applying central auditory tests on two groups who are musicians and nonmusicians.

Materials And Methods: The participants in this study are aged between 20 and 40.

Random gap detection test and random gap detection test-expanded: Results in children with previous language delay in early childhood.

Objectives: The children with difficulty in receiving sounds presented at rapid rates in speech sounds and language learning period, may have delay in speech sounds and language development due to hearing speech sounds not clearly. Auditory temporal processing (ATP) is the ability to perceive auditory signals of brief duration accurately when presented at rapid rates. ATP can be evaluated by the random gap detection test (RGDT), which detects a brief gap between two stimuli.

Are serum levels of trace elements in children with auditory neuropathy within normal limits? - A pilot study.

Objectives: To determine whether trace elements that are essential for neural function play a role in the pathophysiology and etiology of auditory neuropathy (AN).

Materials And Methods: Patients diagnosed with auditory neuropathy consisted of eight children (two male, six female). The blood tests including the measurement of sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphorus, iron, copper and magnesium were done in children with AN during their routine care.

State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) assessment of mothers with language delayed children.

Objectives: In this study, we evaluated the continuous and state anxiety levels of mothers with children with language delay.

Methods: The study group consisted of the mothers of 18 children with language delay. The control group consisted of the mothers of 29 healthy children without language delay.

Evaluation for language and speech development in Kabuki make-up syndrome: a case report.

Kabuki make-up syndrome (KMS) is defined as a rare syndrome with mental retardation, growth deficiency and multiple anomalies of unknown cause. Cases have a characteristic facial appearance of broad and low auricles, wide forehead, broad and flattened nose root. In this article, 4-year, 10-month-old boy with speech delay reported due to characteristics of the facial appearance is considered as KMS, a rare syndrome.

Random Gap Detection Test and Random Gap Detection Test-Expanded results in children with auditory neuropathy.

Objectives: In auditory neuropathy (AN) children with hearing aids (HAs) or cochlear implant (CI), the speech perception improvement may not be in a significant degree. These children may perform speech perception after a few repeats. This condition may show that these children had difficulties in receiving and processing speech sounds.

Effects of listening ability on speaking, writing and reading skills of children who were suspected of auditory processing difficulty.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of listening ability on speaking, writing and reading skills of children who was suspected of auditory processing difficulty (APD).

Method: This research was conducted with 67 children in 1st or 2nd grade of primary school. The first group (Group I-control) was comprised of 41 children without APD.

Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions and contralateral suppressions in children with auditory listening problems.

Objectives: Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) are reflections of cochlear energy produced during the processing of sound. The suppression effect identified as the decrease with the additional tone stimulator of the otoacoustic emission amplitude is use for assessing efferent auditory system function. The aim of this study is to investigate the contralateral suppression effect (CSE) of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) in children with auditory listening problems (ALPs) compared to normal hearing children.

Understanding auditory processing disorders.

Auditory processing disorders (APD) are defined as difficulties in hearing and understanding speech in the presence of normal peripheral hearing. Children with APD appear to be uncertain about what they hear, and have difficulties listening in background noise, following oral instructions, and understanding rapid or degraded speech. Suspicious behaviors include: "not listening", "unable to follow direction", or "unable to learn from information they hear".
