Background: Developmental dyslexia (DD) is a specific learning disability manifested by difficulties in learning to read and write despite of having adequate cognitive ability, motivation, access to instruction and intact peripheral sensory mechanisms. Dyslexia affects about 5%-10% of the child population. Aim of the work:Evaluate the effect of computer-based remediation program on dichotic listening ability in dyslexic children. Patients and Method: Study population included 30 dyslexic children who received central auditory training on dichotic listening ability 2sessions/week for 8 weeks, each session lasted for 30 minutes for two months. Each child underwent: Full history taking, Modified Arabic Dyslexic Screening Test (MADST) and Basic audiological evaluation. Central auditory processing questionnaire for children and Arabic Dichotic Digit test (DDT) were done pre-and postremediation program. Results: Using the DDT, 90% of study population had dichotic listening deficit. Central auditory questionnaire showed all abilities were affected and mostly affected abilities were attention, scholastic achievement and behavior. Central auditory questionnaire pre-& post-remediation results revealed subjective improvement following Dichotic listening remediation on dyslexic children. DDT pre& post remediation results relieved significant improvement following dichotic listening remediation program. Conclusion: Remediation of dichotic listening ability had effect on dyslexic children and this was obvious on Dichotic digit test pre & post-remediation program. Subjective improvement measured by pre& post remediation results of central auditory questionnaire of children was mostly in attention, memory and scholastic achievement.
