“…The procedure used for measuring speech perception in noise in the present study was similar to our earlier investigations [Nambi et al, 2016;Kumar et al, 2020Kumar et al, , 2021. Speech perception in noise ability was assessed by measuring speech reception threshold in noise.…”

“…The spectral processing and speech perception in noise abilities were evaluated by measuring spectral ripple discrimination threshold (SRDT) and speech recognition threshold in noise. The procedure used to measure GDT, amplitude-modulation detection threshold, SRDT, and speech recognition threshold in noise was same as described in earlier investigations [Nambi et al, 2016;Kumar et al, 2020Kumar et al, , 2021.…”

Introduction: The effect of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on hearing is well documented in the literature. Several studies have investigated the effect of hemodialysis on the peripheral auditory system among individuals with CKD. However, studies investigating the effect of hemodialysis on speech perception and auditory processing abilities are limited. The present study investigated the effect of hemodialysis on few auditory processing abilities and speech perception in noise among adults with CKD. Methods: A total of 25 adults with CKD undergoing hemodialysis regularly participated in the study. Spectral ripple discrimination threshold (SRDT), gap detection threshold (GDT), amplitude-modulation detection threshold (AMDT), and speech recognition threshold in noise (SRTn) were measured before and after hemodialysis. Paired samples “t” test was carried out to investigate the effect of hemodialysis on thresholds. Results: Results showed a significant improvement for SRDT, GDT, AMDT, and SRTn after hemodialysis among individuals with CKD. Discussion: Hemodialysis showed a positive effect on speech perception in noise and auditory processing abilities among individuals with CKD.

“…Language mixing or code-switching may also aid language outcomes (Kaushanskaya & Crespo, 2019). For example, this may correlate with improved word recognition (Morini & Newman, 2019), audio processing skills (Kumar et al, 2020), pronunciation and spelling (Kremin et al, 2019), ability to adapt communication patterns based on how it is received (Gampe et al, 2019), and stronger executive functions in terms of cognitive inhibition and flexibility (Nayak, 2017).…”

Tailoring support for first and second‐generation immigrant families with young children necessitates understanding the extent to which immigrant families initiate access to community resources and perceived support from formal and informal stakeholders in their ecology. As part of an exploratory analysis, we surveyed bilingual, immigrant parents (n = 54) in a mid‐Atlantic urban community in the United States. We examined factors that may correlate with seeking child‐related advice and/or emotional support. Sixty‐one percent of the sample approached at least one formal or informal contact for emotional support or advice in the past year, and willingness to do so was correlated with having a child with a suspected or diagnosed delay or disability. Stronger parent–stakeholder rapport was more likely to be reported with informal supports among younger parents (aged 20–30). Respondents with greater perceived parenting stress and child behaviour concerns were more likely to seek out stakeholders and less personalised sources. We discuss noteworthy implications for research and practice.

“…SiN differences between bilingual and monolingual listeners are most prominent when speech stimuli contain supporting linguistic context, such as (morpho)syntactic structure or semantic content (Bradlow & Alexander, 2007;Skoe & Karayanidi, 2019). In addition, fewer auditory advantages have been found for monolinguals when nonlinguistic auditory domains such as spectral or temporal processing are tested (Kumar et al, 2020;Onoda et al, 2006;Sanayi et al, 2013); more often, bilinguals outperform monolinguals in nonlinguistic auditory tasks. Together, these findings suggest that SiN difficulties experienced by some NNE bilinguals are likely not auditory in nature, but rather result from differences in linguistic and cognitive processes, which may also be susceptible to age-related declines.…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore potential differences in suprathreshold auditory function among native and nonnative speakers of English as a function of age. Method: Retrospective analyses were performed on three large datasets containing suprathreshold auditory tasks completed by 5572 participants who were self-identified native and nonnative speakers of English between the ages of 18–65, including a binaural tone detection task, a digit identification task, and a sentence recognition task.Results: The analyses show a significant interaction between increasing age and participant group on tasks involving speech-based stimuli (digit strings, sentences) but not on the binaural tone detection task. For both speech tasks, differences in speech recognition emerged between groups during early adulthood and increasing age had a more negative impact on word recognition for nonnative compared to native participants. Age-related declines in performance were 2.9 times faster for digit strings and 3.3 times faster for sentences for nonnative participants compared to native participants. Conclusions: This set of analyses extends the existing literature by examining interactions between aging and language background in several auditory domains in a cohort of adults spanning young adulthood through middle age. The finding that older nonnative English speakers in this age cohort may have greater than expected deficits on speech-in-noise perception may have clinical implications on how these individuals should be diagnosed and treated for hearing difficulties.
