“…The findings of the current work agreed with the results of Tak and Yathiraj [18]. They reported that the significant difference between CI and NH children could only be observed for certain vowels and warble-tone frequencies.…”

“…In the present study, DLI has the best diagnostic power for patients with CI at 4000 Hz (AUC = 0.999, P < 0.001), at cut off 1.5, with sensitivity of 100% and specificity 100%. In the same context Tak and Yathiraj [18] reported that 4000 Hz was the most sensitive and specific frequency at which children using CI performed significantly poorer than typically developing children.…”

“…They reported that the significant difference between CI and NH children could only be observed for certain vowels and warble-tone frequencies. However, Tak and Yathiraj [18] reported that Particularly at the maximum measured frequency (4000 Hz) were children utilizing CI perform considerably worse than children receiving NH. At 500 Hz or 1000 Hz, this variation was not present.…”

“…Once they had used their CI, those involved would've just been subjected to greater frequencies. ( Tak and Yathiraj et al [18]). The authors may have employed a stronger pedestal tone than the one used in the current experiment, but they did not specify its intensity.…”

Background Frequency discrimination underlies more complicated auditory activities like speech comprehension and interpretation. However, intensity differences indicate how far apart noises are. This study aimed to evaluate and compare results of frequency modulation and difference limen for intensity in children with cochlear Implants (CI) as well as normal hearing children. Results This case–control work was performed on 40 children, aged from 5–18 years, divided into two equal groups: a study group with unilateral CI and a control group with normal peripheral hearing. All patients were subjected to otological examination, audiological evaluation, frequency modulation difference limen (FMDL) and difference limen for intensity (DLI) tests. Patients with CI, as compared to normal hearing (NH) subjects, required significantly higher frequencies to discriminate FMDL and DLI respectively (P value = 0.001). At 2000 and 4000 Hz: FMDL had a significant diagnostic power for patients with CI (AUC = 0.980, 0.998 respectively, P < 0.001), at cut off 1.5, with 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity. While, at 4000 Hz: DLI had a significant diagnostic power for patients with CI (AUC = 0.999, P < 0.001), at cut off 1.5, with 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity. Conclusion A statistically substantial variation was observed among CI and NH children in FMDL and DLI at all frequencies tested. Patients with CI required significantly higher frequencies to discriminate as compared to NH subjects. Frequencies at 2000 Hz and 4000 Hz possess the best specificity and sensitivity of FMDL. While frequency 4000 Hz possess the best specificity and sensitivity of DLI.

Distinguishing shouted from non-shouted speech is crucial in communication. We examined how shouting affects temporal properties of the amplitude envelope (ENV) in a total of 720 sentences read by 18 Swiss German speakers in normal and shouted modes; shouting was characterised by maintaining sound pressure levels of ≥80 dB sound pressure level (dB-SPL) (C-weighted) at a 1-meter distance from the mouth. Generalized additive models revealed significant temporal alterations of ENV in shouted speech, marked by steeper ascent, delayed peak, and extended high levels. These findings offer potential cues for identifying shouting, particularly useful when fine-structure and dynamic range cues are absent, for example, in cochlear implant users.
