Abstract: Dichotic listening performance was studied in children who at an early age had undergone a myringotomy with insertion of ventilating tubes for persistent middle ear infections (otitis media with effusion; OME) and compared with age-equivalent children who had no history of otitis media or hearing problems. The OME group consisted of 19 children with a median age of 9 years; 15 of whom were right-handed, and 14 were boys. The comparison sample comprised 18 children with a median age was 9 years 4 months. Hand preference and sex were matched with the OME group. Both groups were tested with dichotic listening to consonant-vowel syllables and additional forced-attention tasks. The comparison sample showed a weak right-ear advantage, and age-adequate attentional modulations. The children in the OME group showed a strong right-ear advantage, but were not able to modulate the ear advantage during directed-attention tasks. Models for interpreting the result are discussed.

TL;DR: The SAAAT was influenced by the presence of mild hearing impairment, considering that the greatest influence was observed in the presenceof sensorineural hearing loss.

TL;DR: By maintaining, or subsequently rescuing, GABAergic transmission in the central auditory thalamocortical pathway, some perceptual and cognitive deficits induced by developmental hearing loss can be prevented.

TL;DR: Investigating whether there is a hemispheric bias in the processing of visual-to-auditory sensory substitution information and whether that varies as a function of experience and visual ability found no difference between visually impaired, experienced vOICe users and sighted novices in the hemispheres.

Functional Asymmetry of the Brain in Dichotic Listening
Doreen Kimura,Doreen Kimura +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the evidence relating lateral asymmetry in auditory perception to the asymmetrical functioning of the two hemispheres of the brain and described some applications of the dichotic listening technique to questions concerned with the development of cerebral dominance.
