Speech and music are highly complex signals that have many shared acoustic features.
Pitch, Timbre, and Timing can be used as overarching perceptual categories for describing …

Spatial hearing skills are essential for children as they grow, learn and play. These skills
provide critical cues for determining the locations of sources in the environment, and enable …

There are three essential aspects to consider in the description of human auditory
maturation, namely, the structural, the functional and the behavioral. Structural aspects were …

In the present paper, we review what is currently known about the effects of deafness on the
developing human auditory system and ask: Without use, does the immature auditory …

Unilateral cochlear implant (CI) stimulation establishes hearing to children who are deaf but
compromises bilateral auditory development if a second implant is not provided within∼ 1.5 …

Background: EABR latencies decrease with unilateral implant use potentially disrupting
binaural timing cues important in auditory brainstem processing of bilateral input. Methods …

Bilateral cochlear implants (CIs) have been provided to children who are deaf in both ears
with intent to promote binaural hearing. If it is possible to establish binaural hearing with two …

Bilateral cochlear implants aim to restore binaural processing along the auditory pathways
in children with bilateral deafness. We assessed auditory brainstem activity evoked by single …

Objectives: Interaural level differences (ILD) and interaural timing differences (ITD) are
important cues for locating sounds in space. Adult bilateral cochlear implant (CI) users use …

This study investigates the effect of hearing aid use on the peripheral auditory pathways in
children with sensorineural hearing loss prior to cochlear implantation, as revealed by the …
