Disease relevance of Auditory Perception

• Three basic audiometric configurations were chosen to investigate the effects of the aforementioned components of a sensorineural hearing impairment on the auditory perception of speech [1].
• Auditory perception of ultrasound in patients with sensorineural and conductive hearing loss [2].
• BACKGROUND: Williams syndrome (WS), a neurodevelopmental disorder, is characterized by pervasive cognitive deficits alongside a relative sparing of auditory perception and cognition [3].
• Subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children were used as well as the Reading and Writing Test. RESULTS: Auditory perception disorders were evident in 88% of children investigated who had a history of at least three episodes of otitis media by 2 years of age [4].

Psychiatry related information on Auditory Perception

• Especially interesting and surprising was the fact that the newly diagnosed epilepsy group demonstrated impairment not only in attention, visuo-perceptual and short-term memory skills, but also in auditory perception, lexical function, and the comprehension of speech [5].
• Speech perception tests were conducted using the Mandarin Auditory Perception Test Battery at 6-month intervals after connection of the device [6].

High impact information on Auditory Perception

• BACKGROUND: The Heschl gyrus and planum temporale have crucial roles in auditory perception and language processing [7].
• A prior study found a selective deficit in verbal working memory in a subgroup of patients with schizophrenia who performed as well as healthy controls on a screening test of attention and auditory perception [Arch. Gen. Psychiatry 55 (1998) 1093] [8].
• We suggest that GDNF/ES combined treatment in cochlear implant recipients will improve auditory perception [9].
• To study steroid effects on auditory perception, 24 volunteers were unexpectedly confronted with a psychological stressor [10].
• Auditory perception of fractal contours [11].

Chemical compound and disease context of Auditory Perception

• Based on these observations, endexpiratory concentrations of > or = 4.5 vol % desflurane should suppress awareness phenomena such as auditory perceptions during anaesthesia [12].
• In two double-blind crossover studies we evaluated auditory perception in healthy volunteers after treatment with hydrocortisone, dexamethasone, and the respective placebos [13].
• In order to investigate influences of corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and corticotropin fragment (adrenocorticotropic hormone, ACTH, 4-9) on auditory perception processes, 10 subjects received either a placebo (sodium chloride 0.9%), CRH (100 micrograms) or ACTH 4-9 (Hoe 427, 300 micrograms) intravenously on different days [14].
• Generalization of conditioned suppression during salicylate-induced phantom auditory perception in rats [15].
• Anticonvulsants have been ineffective in controlling behavior problems; however, phenytoin may be helpful in auditory perception problems [16].

Gene context of Auditory Perception

• These results suggest that, in addition to their cognitive impairment, DAT patients have a specific deficiency of central auditory perception [17].
• A neural spike count rule has been presented for both threshold and intensity discrimination under the assumption that auditory perception occurs via integration over a relatively long time period (Bruce et al., 1999) [18].
• A convergent validity coefficient between the Slosson Auditory Perception Skills Screener and Test of Auditory Perceptual Skills-Revised Total Score was .59 (n=67, p<.05) [19].
• The results emphasize the importance of combining intra- and postoperative measurements and suggest that late ERP components might be used as indicators of an increased risk of auditory perception [20].
• The activation patterns observed by measuring regional cerebral blood flow CBF after intracarotid Xenon-133 injection are reviewed with emphasis on tests involving auditory perception and speech, and approach allowing to visualize Wernicke and Broca's areas and their contralateral homologues in vivo [21].
