Limiar de resolução temporal auditiva em idosos

Abstract

the average temporal resolution threshold for women was 104.81ms. Considering gender, females did not present correlations between age and audiometric configuration, not only when considering the RGDT results but also when analyzing the SAC results.

Behavioral Measures of Temporal Processing and Speech Perception in Cochlear Implant Users

“…Although there are no norms for monaural presentation, Roberts and Lister (2004) reported that GDTs do not seem to differ when the stimuli are monaurally vs. binaurally presented but GDTs may be affected by gender. Queiroz et al (2010) reported statistically poorer performance on the RGDT in females compared to males in group of elderly individuals (60–80 years of age). Yet others have reported no statistical difference in GDTs based on gender in a group of children (8–10 years of age; Marculino et al, 2011; Amaral et al, 2013) and adults (17–55 years of age; Prem et al, 2012).…”

“…Although, an ANCOVA indicated that differences in GDTs seen between the NH and CI group in our study does not depend on age, it is well established in the literature that advancing age can result in decreased neural efficiency for encoding timing cues. It has been reported that temporal processing ability declines after the fourth decade of life and deterioration accelerates after 70 years of age (Snell, 1997; Pichora-Fuller et al, 2006; Humes et al, 2010; Kumar and Sangamanatha, 2011;), even after peripheral hearing loss has been factored in (Grose et al, 2001; Roberts and Lister, 2004; Queiroz et al, 2010). In this study, the mean age was 57 years for the CI group and 24 years for NH group.…”

“…Therefore, it is important to determine if a clinically available measure of temporal resolution, such as the Randomized Gap Detection Test (RGDT), provides results that are comparable to those obtained using an extensive research psychoacoustic test paradigm. The RGDT has been extensively used for the diagnosis of auditory processing disorder in previous studies (Jerger et al, 2002; Chermak and Lee, 2005; Queiroz et al, 2010; Iliadou et al, 2014) but has minimal use in the CI population (Zhang et al, 2013)…”

Resolução temporal em idosos

“…sample presented normal hearing in both ears, and symmetrical pure tone average on mild to moderate hearing loss of sensorineural type. Other research with elderly and temporal resolution showed similar mean age [12][13][14][15][16] .…”

Processamento temporal em idosos: o efeito da habilidade de resolução temporal em tarefas de ordenação de série de sons

“…The perception of the order of occurrence of sounds that come in an acoustic event helps to understand the meaning of the message. Also, to notice the silence that occurs between linguistic segments (temporal resolution) helps to discriminate speech 9 . By using the set of hearing tests available to assess temporal processing, it becomes necessary to know how much a test of temporal resolution and a test of temporal ordering are correlated and thus better recognize the limits and benefits of the selection for such assessment.…”
