AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate speech perception abilities using various Persian auditory tests across middle-aged and young adults in Iran.
- Researchers analyzed data from 100 adults, employing statistical methods to compare results between the two age groups.
- Findings indicated no significant difference in overall speech perception scores, but middle-aged adults performed worse in challenging listening situations, particularly in their left ear.
Article Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the ability of speech perception by the Persian version of the University of Cincinnati Auditory Processing Inventory questionnaire (P-UCAPI), Persian words recognition score (P-WRS), Persian words in noise (P-WIN) and Persian competing words (P-CW) tests between middle-aged and young adults. We considered 100 adults admitted to the Audiology Department of the Rohani Hospital in the north of Iran. Descriptive analysis was performed to determine mean scores and standard deviations. Paired sample t-test, independent sample t-test, and One-way ANOVA were applied to compare our research variables. Significance level was considered at < .05. The results of current study demonstrated that there was not a significant difference in total score of P-UCAPI in two age groups. The middle-ages group had lower scores in the P-WIN test compared to the young adults and the mean scores were significantly lower in the left ear. The findings of the current study reveal that middle-aged adults have more problems in speech perception than young adults in noisy listening situation.

Phantom perceptions like tinnitus occur without any identifiable environmental or bodily source. The mechanisms and key drivers behind tinnitus are poorly understood. The dominant framework, suggesting that tinnitus results from neural hyperactivity in the auditory pathway following hearing damage, has been difficult to investigate in humans and has reached explanatory limits.

Experiencing music often entails the perception of a periodic beat. Despite being a widespread phenomenon across cultures, the nature and neural underpinnings of beat perception remain largely unknown. In the last decade, there has been a growing interest in developing methods to probe these processes, particularly to measure the extent to which beat-related information is contained in behavioral and neural responses.

Distraction is ubiquitous in human environments. Distracting input is often predictable, but we do not understand when or how humans can exploit this predictability. Here, we ask whether predictable distractors are able to reduce uncertainty in updating the internal predictive model.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a highly prevalent neurodevelopmental disorder, affecting both children and adults, which often leads to significant difficulties with attention, impulsivity, and working memory. These challenges can impact various cognitive and perceptual domains, including music perception and performance. Despite these difficulties, individuals with ADHD frequently engage with music, and previous research has shown that music listening can serve as a means of increasing stimulation and self-regulation.

The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) has been developed and edited by the World Health Organisation and represents the global standard for recording health information and causes of death. The ICD-11 is the eleventh revision and came into effect on 1 January 2022. Perceptual disturbances refer to abnormalities in the way sensory information is interpreted by the brain, leading to distortions in the perception of reality.
