Which tests assess monaural low redundancy/auditory closure processing
NU-6 filtered words
time compressed sentences
SSI ICM
speech in noise
Sound localization
ability to identify where a sound is coming from in space
deficit impact: difficulty in spatial awareness, following multi-speaker conversations and maintaining attention in a classroom
temporal processing
ability to detect brief changes in stimuli over time
deficit impact: challenges in auditory discrimination and resolution
affecting reading, spelling, and writing due to difficulty distinguishing phonemes or following rapid speech
ex: distinguishing /pa/ from /ba/
auditory figure ground
ability to attend to a signal of interest in the presence of background noise
deficit impact: difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments
leading to challenges in classroom discussions or group learning
auditory closure
ability to fill in the missing pieces of auditory information
fill in the blanks
deficit impact: difficulty understanding speech in noisy or degraded auditory conditions
affects language learning and comprehension
issues with language acquisition and vocabulary development
phonemic decoding may be affected
adults and children with deficits in this area will perform poorly on tests that assess auditory closure which are
low pass filtered speech tests
speech in nois tests
time compressed speech tests
reduce redundancy by messing up
timing/phase
intensity
frequency
auditory analysis
ability to break down auditory information into its components (e.g., syllables or phonemes)
deficit impact: challenges with decoding
crucial for reading and spelling
reading difficulties
this is important for distinguishing verb tenses and other morphological markers that may be acoustically distorted or masked by background noise
auditory memory
ability to remember auditory information for short or long periods of time
deficit impact: poor ability to follow multi-step verbal instructions or remember sequences
impacts classroom performance
auditory sequential memory
recall the order of a series of acoustic stimuli
phone numbers, ID numbers, etc.
auditory short term memory
retain and recall auditory information as it is immediately presented
frequency resolution
ability of the auditory system to distinguish different frequencies in a sound signal even those that are close together
tested using PPST
deficit impact: phonemic processing and suprasegmental cues (intonation, stress, rhythm etc.)
crucial for language comprehension and expression
what test assesses frequency resolution
PPST
auditory binaural integration
ability to combine auditory information received by both ears into a unified perception
deficit impact: issues understanding speech in complex auditory environments (noise), poor localization, reduced ability to focus on target speaker in group settings
leads to challenges working in groups or listening in noisy classes, increased listening fatigue, inability to follow multi-speaker discussions
dichotic processing
ability to process different auditory stimuli presented simultaneously to each ear.
deficit impact: Difficulty distinguishing or remembering competing auditory inputs.
Left or right ear suppression during dichotic listening tasks, often reflecting hemispheric dominance or interhemispheric transfer issues
leads to Trouble processing simultaneous auditory information (e.g., teacher talking while classmates converse).
Struggles with tasks requiring split attention or multitasking
