“…The present findings are also consistent with the literature showing that temporal resolution (e.g., Hall and Grose 1994;Stuart 2005;Hall et al 2012;Buss et al 2014;Buss et al 2017) and spectral resolution (e.g., Allen and Wightman 1992;Peter et al 2014;Rayes et al 2014;Kirby et al 2015;Landsberger et al 2017;Horn et al 2017a, b) are poorer for younger children and mature gradually into adolescence. Although temporal cues are preserved in the vocoder simulations, it is possible that younger children may not be able to take advantage of these cues to the same extent as older children and adults.…”

Reducing Simulated Channel Interaction Reveals Differences in Phoneme Identification Between Children and Adults With Normal Hearing

Recognition of spectrally degraded phonemes improved when simulated channel interaction was reduced, particularly for children. cNH showed an interaction between number of processing channels and filter slope for vowel identification. The differences observed between cNH and aNH suggest that identification of spectrally degraded phonemes continues to improve through adolescence and that children may benefit from reduced channel interaction beyond where adult performance has plateaued. Comparison to CI users suggests that early implantation may facilitate development of better phoneme discrimination.

“…Therefore, we can speculate that the absence of difference can be expected due to the hearing loss above 1 kHz. In the same study by Jung et al (2012) the difference between Schroeder-phase discrimination scores at 50 and 200 Hz of adult and pediatric CI groups was statistically significant and it is known that temporal auditory processing can be influenced by age (Brennan et al, 2018), become adult like at age of 11 years in normal hearing individuals (Buss et al, 2017) and development of temporal modulation sensitivity is delayed in pediatric CI users (Park et al, 2015). The precise maturation process in implanted children, and the effects of residual hearing and progressive hearing loss are still not known, but the effect of age and maturation must be considered when interpreting our results.…”

Effects of Low Frequency Residual Hearing on Music Perception and Psychoacoustic Abilities in Pediatric Cochlear Implant Recipients

2019

Studies have demonstrated the benefits of low frequency residual hearing in music perception and for psychoacoustic abilities of adult cochlear implant (CI) users, but less is known about these effects in the pediatric group. Understanding the contribution of combined electric and acoustic stimulation in this group can help to gain a better perspective on decisions regarding bilateral implantation. We evaluated the performance of six unilaterally implanted children between 9 and 13 years of age with contralateral residual hearing using the Clinical Assessment of Music Perception (CAMP), spectral ripple discrimination (SRD), and temporal modulation transfer function (TMTF) tests and compared findings with previous research. Our study sample performed similarly to normal hearing subjects in pitch direction discrimination (0.81 semitones) and performed well above typical CI users in melody recognition (43.37%). The performance difference was less in timbre recognition (48.61%), SRD (1.47 ripple/octave), and TMTF for four modulation frequencies. These findings suggest that the combination of low frequency acoustic hearing with the broader frequency range of electric hearing can help to increase clinical CI benefit in pediatric users and decisions regarding second-side implantation should consider these factors.

“…The vast majority of studies have revealed that the adult-like level in these tests is reached by the age of 7 years (do Amaral et al, 2013;Ismaail, Shalaby, & Ibraheem, 2019;Kelly, 2007;Mattsson et al, 2018;McDermott et al, 2016;Shinn, Chermak, & Musiek, 2009) independently of the procedure applied (Chermak & Lee, 2005). However, an improvement in detecting gaps in noise up to 10-11 years (Buss, Porter, Hall, & Grose, 2017;Irwin et al, 1985) or in the 7-10 age range with a greater variability of the results in younger than older kids, has been also demonstrated (Lister et al, 2011). In the present study we predicted that our version of gap detection test would produce relatively stable scores over the age range considered.…”

Development of central auditory processes in Polish children and adolescents at the age from 7 to 16 years

et al. 2021

There are discrepancies in the literature regarding the course of central auditory processes (CAP) maturation in typically developing children and adolescents. The purpose of the study was to provide an overview of age – related improvement in CAP in Polish primary and secondary school students aged 7–16 years. 180 children/adolescents, subdivided into 9 age categories, and 20 adults (aged 18–24 years) performed the Dichotic Digit Test (DDT), Duration Pattern Test (DPT), Frequency Pattern Test (FPT), Gap Detection Test (GDT) and adaptive Speech-in-Noise (aSpN). The 12-year-olds was retested after w week. We found the age effects only for the DDT, DPT and FPT. In the right ear DDT the 7-year-olds performed more poorly than all groups ≥12. In the left ear DDT both 7- and 8-year-olds achieved less correct responses compared with the 13-, 14-, 15-year-olds and with the adults. The right ear advantage was greater in the 7-year-olds than in the 15-year-olds and adult group. At the age of 7 there was lower DPT and FPT scores than in all participants ≥13 whereas the 8-year-olds obtained less correct responses in the FPT than all age categories ≥12. Almost all groups (except for the 7-year-olds) performed better in the DPT than FPT. The test-retest reliability for all tests was satisfactory. The study demonstrated that different CAP have their own patterns of improvement with age and some of them are specific for the Polish population. The psychoacoustic battery may be useful in screening for CAP disorders in Poland.
