Neurosensory hypoacusis (NSHA) was treated in 193 patients exposed to radiation consequently to the Chernobyl accident. The article describes changes observed in the examinees on audiograms, ECG, rheoencephalograms (REG) and acoustic evoked potentials. Treatment of patients with radiation-induced NSHA was aimed at normalization of tonicity of the cerebral vessels, venous outflow, pulse blood filling, arterial pressure, bioelectric activity of the brain, cardiac activity with account to hearing defects in different portions of the acoustic system. The treatment has improved parameters of tonal and speech audiometry, cortical acoustic evoked potentials, REG and EEG in 63.4% of the patients. The rest of the patients achieved stabilization of the process, arrest of progressive hearing loss. Also, positive effects were seen on the general condition of the patients, their working ability. The patients experienced relief of the headache, stuffy ears, noise in the ears, etc.

Studies have shown that a cross-modal association between listening to music and eating. This study aims to explore the influence of music style on individuals' food preferences and provide evidence for understanding multi-sensory research. Twenty-seven participants participated in the experiment which consisted of two parts.

Background And Objective: One of the functions attributed to the auditory efferent system is related to the processing of acoustic stimuli in noise backgrounds. However, clinical implications and the neurophysiological mechanisms of this system are not yet understood, especially on higher regions of the central nervous system. Only a few researchers studied the effects of noise on cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEP), but the lack of studies in this area and the contradictory results, especially in children, point to the need to investigate different protocols and parameters that could allow the study of top-down activity in humans.

Music can evoke powerful emotions in listeners. However, the role that instrumental music (music without any vocal part) plays in conveying extra-musical meaning, above and beyond emotions, is still a debated question. We conducted a study wherein participants (N = 121) listened to twenty 15-second-long excerpts of polyphonic instrumental soundtrack music and reported (i) perceived emotions (e.

Objective: To describe and compare the latencies and amplitudes of Mismatch Negativity between children with and without Developmental Dyslexia.
Methods: Cross-sectional and comparative study, consisting of a study group of 52 children with Developmental Dyslexia and a control group of 52 children with typical development, matched by age and sex, aged between 9 years and 11 years and 11 months of both sexes. All participants underwent Otoscopy, Acoustic Immittance Measurements, Pure Tone Audiometry, Speech Audiometry, Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potential and Mismatch Negativity.

The cortical tracking of the acoustic envelope is a phenomenon where the brain's electrical activity, as recorded by electroencephalography (EEG) signals, fluctuates in accordance with changes in stimulus intensity (the acoustic envelope of the stimulus). Understanding speech in a noisy background is a key challenge for people with hearing impairments. Speech stimuli are therefore more ecologically valid than clicks, tone pips, or speech tokens (e.
