“…It might be determined by the redundancy of speech material in the RuMatrix test in comparison to the monosyllabic test. A high correlation (p < 0.01) between SRT Q and mean PTA 0.5, 1, 2, 4 was observed, which confirms that speech discrimination in quiet depends mainly on the peripheral hearing functioning, as previously shown in other investigations [27,31].…”

“…In this study, the low MSRS Q (≤60%) was revealed in 53 (33%) of 161 patients due to the evaluation of monosyllabic words' intelligibility. The RuMatrix sentence test in quiet showed the normal range of SRT Q according to the age and hearing thresholds in all 24 patients who underwent this test [27]. It might be determined by the redundancy of speech material in the RuMatrix test in comparison to the monosyllabic test.…”

“…In the Russian matrix sentence test (RuMatrix), speech material is represented by sentences of 5 words: the 1st word is a name, the 2nd is a verb, the 3rd is a numeral, the 4th is an adjective, and the 5th is a noun. For example, "Ivan wants five red halls" [26,27]. The patient's task was to repeat the sentence heard, or at least its individual words.…”

In this study, we assessed the impact of COVID-19 on the hearing function in adults. A total of 161 subjects were examined, and the results of a previous audiological examination of 24 patients were reviewed. Pure tone audiometry, impedancemetry, speech audiometry in quiet and noise, the Binaural Fusion Test, the dichotic digits test, and a cognitive status examination were performed. A total of 81% of patients complained about hearing disorders, and 43% noted memory impairment. According to pure tone audiometry, 24% of the subjects had normal hearing, while 76% had some degree of hearing loss. No significant changes in hearing thresholds were found in comparison with audiological examinations performed before COVID-19. Disorder of monosyllabic words’ intelligibility in quiet was found in 33% of patients, and in 42% in noise, along with low indicators in the dichotic digits test in 54% of patients. Moreover, 71% of patients had low scores on the MoCA scale that indicated cognitive impairment. Conclusions: The deterioration of speech test scores in patients after COVID-19 can occur due to central auditory processing disorders (CAPD), memory impairment, or changes in cognitive status in general.

“…The possible explanation for this finding is the difference in pure-tone thresholds, which, even with adequately fitted hearing aids, are 10-20 dB lower compared with normal pure-tone thresholds. The high correlation between SRT Q and outcomes of pure-tone audiometry was reported in previous studies [80]. Our findings confirm the existing understanding of the interrelationship between temporal processing and speech intelligibility abilities [67,81,82], which was clearly demonstrated in hearing-impaired preterm children in the present study.…”

Impact of Prematurity on Auditory Processing in Children

Prematurity is one of the most crucial risk factors negatively affecting the maturation of the auditory system. Children born preterm demonstrate high rates of hearing impairments. Auditory processing difficulties in preterm children might be a result of disturbances in the central auditory system development and/or sensory deprivation due to peripheral hearing loss. To investigate auditory processing in preterm children, we utilized a set of psychoacoustic tests to assess temporal processing and speech intelligibility. A total of 241 children aged 6–11 years old (136 born preterm and 105 healthy full-term children forming the control group) were assessed. The preterm children were divided into three groups based on their peripheral hearing status: 74 normal hearing (NH group); 30 children with bilateral permanent sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL group) and 32 children with bilateral auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD group). The results showed significantly worse performance in all tests in premature children compared with full-term children. NH and SNHL groups showed significant age-related improvement in speech recognition thresholds in noise that might signify a “bottom-up” auditory processing maturation effect. Overall, all premature children had signs of auditory processing disorders of varying degrees. Analyzing and understanding the auditory processing specificity in preterm children can positively contribute to the more effective implementation of rehabilitation programs.
