Objective: To describe an application's development and validation process that aims to track hearing difficulties in adverse environments (a listening effort application).Design: 71 subjects were evaluated, divided into two groups: 30 aged between 18 30, 41 40 65.All had European Portuguese as their native language; the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MOCA) scored above 24, all could read write.All performed intelligibility test noise of effort.The tests randomly applied free field...
Abstract The present study examines the extent to which temporal and spatial properties of sound modulate visual motion processing in localization tasks. Participants were asked locate place at a moving target unexpectedly vanished. Across different tasks, accompanying sounds factorially varied within subjects as their onset offset times and/or positions relative motion. Sound had no effect on error. was shown perceived location, both for disparities. This modulation did not conform...
Abstract Background Musical practice leads to cognitive development, requiring the activation of several processing mechanisms that are based on encoding and storing sounds through memory. The objective was evaluate auditory memory (ability recognize tonal patterns) in musicians non-musicians, comparing their performance. Methods Two groups with normal hearing aged between 17 18 years old were compared, one (N = 14, average 8 musical training) a control group 14). Pure tone audiogram an...

Abstract Background Listening music is extremely important in our day life, but studies indicate that young people who use earphones for long periods tend to develop hearing problems. The aim of this study was evaluate the listen very often and occasionally, observe if there are differences between them. Methods sample composed by 2 groups (n = 15 each) people, students higher education (18–24 years) every week, with Group 1 using occasionally often. Otoscopy, pure tone audiogram (PTA:...
Abstract Background The aging process is characterized by a gradual impairment of several capacities, such as hearing, memory and communication, which implies changes at various levels and, consequently, in both hearing auditory skills, the temporal ordering an example. Methods sample consisted 23 elderly individuals, aged between 70 96 years (average 83.09 years) with mild to severe type I sensorineural loss. For collection information, pure tone audiogram, frequency duration pattern tests,...
