  • Is Central Auditory Processing Disorder Present in Psychosis
    American journal of audiology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Vasiliki Vivian Iliadou, Kalliopi Apalla, Stergios Kaprinis, Ioannis Nimatoudis, George Kaprinis, Apostolos Iacovides
    Abstract:

    Purpose The scope of this study was to trace Central Auditory Processing issues in patients with first-episode psychosis using a psychoacoustic test battery approach. Method Patients (n = 17) and volunteer control subjects (n = 17) with no personal or family history of schizophrenia were included in the study on the basis of normal hearing sensitivity. The authors implemented a Central Auditory Processing battery consisting of monaural and binaural tests with verbal and nonverbal stimuli. Results Perceptual deficits in both nonverbal and verbal Auditory stimuli are reported in this study, with temporal Central Auditory Processing deficits and a mean left-ear advantage documented in the patient group. Conclusion This study points to the possibility of the existence of Central Auditory Processing deficits in first-episode psychosis leading to schizophrenia. Audiologists should be aware of the psychiatric research pointing to enhanced verbal memory as a result of Auditory training, linking bottom-up remediat...

  • Clinical psychoacoustics in Alzheimer's disease Central Auditory Processing disorders and speech deterioration
    Annals of General Hospital Psychiatry, 2003
    Co-Authors: Vassiliki Iliadou, Stergios Kaprinis
    Abstract:

    Background Difficulty in speech understanding in the presence of background noise or competing Auditory signals is typically present in Central Auditory Processing disorders. These disorders may be diagnosed in Alzheimer's disease as a result of degeneration in the Central Auditory system. In addition perception and Processing of speech may be affected. Material and Methods A MEDLINE research was conducted in order to answer the question whether there is a Central Auditory Processing disorder involved in Alzheimer's disease. A second question to be investigated was what, if any is the connection, between Central Auditory Processing disorders and speech deterioration? Articles were retrieved from the Medline to find relevance of Alzheimer's dis ease with Central Auditory Processing disorders, they summed up to 34. Twelve papers were studied that contained testing for CAPD through psychoacoustic investigation. An additional search using the keywords 'speech production' and 'AD' produced a result of 33 articles, of them 14 are thoroughly discussed in this review as they have references concerning CAPD. The rest do not contain any relavent information on the Central Auditory system. Results Psychoacoustic tests reveal significantly lower scores in patients with Alzheimer's disease compared with normal subjects. Tests concerning sound localization and perception of tones as well as phoneme discrimination and tonal memory reveal deficits in Alzheimer's disease. Central Auditory Processing disorders may exist several years before the onset of clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease. Segmental characteristics of speech are normal. Deficits exist concerning the supra-segmental components of speech. Conclusions Central Auditory Processing disorders have been found in many cases when patients with Alzheimer's disease are tested. They may present as an early manifestation of Alzheimer's disease, preceding the disease by a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10 years. During these years changes in the Central Auditory system, starting in the temporal lobe, may produce deficits in speech Processing and production as hearing and speech are highly connected human functions. Another theory may be that spread of degeneration of the Central nervous system has as a consequence, speech deterioration. Further research and Central Auditory Processing disorders testing in the elderly population are needed to validate one theory over the other.

  • Central Auditory Processing in parkinsonian disorders: A systematic review
    Neuroscience and biobehavioral reviews, 2020
    Co-Authors: Evelien De Groote, Kim De Keyser, Annelies Bockstael, Dick Botteldooren, Patrick Santens, Miet De Letter
    Abstract:

    Altered Auditory Processing has been increasingly recognized as a non-motor feature in parkinsonian disorders. This systematic review provides an overview of behavioral and electrophysiological literature on Central Auditory Processing in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA) and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). A systematic database search was conducted and yielded 88 studies that met the intelligibility criteria. The collected data revealed distinct impairments in a range of Central Auditory processes in PD, including altered deviance detection of basic Auditory features, Auditory brainstem Processing, Auditory gating and selective Auditory attention. In contrast to PD, literature on Central Auditory Processing in atypical parkinsonian disorders was relatively scarce, but provided some evidence for impaired Central Auditory Processing in MSA and PSP. The interpretation of these findings is discussed and suggestions for further research are offered.

  • Contribution of psychoacoustics and neuroaudiology in revealing correlation of mental disorders with Central Auditory Processing disorders
    Annals of General Hospital Psychiatry, 2003
    Co-Authors: Vassiliki Iliadou, S Iakovides
    Abstract:

    Background Psychoacoustics is a fascinating developing field concerned with the evaluation of the hearing sensation as an outcome of a sound or speech stimulus. Neuroaudiology with electrophysiologic testing, records the electrical activity of the Auditory pathways, extending from the 8^th cranial nerve up to the cortical Auditory centers as a result of external Auditory stimuli. Central Auditory Processing Disorders may co-exist with mental disorders and complicate diagnosis and outcome. Design A MEDLINE search was conducted to search for papers concerning the association between Central Auditory Processing Disorders and mental disorders. The research focused on the diagnostic methods providing the inter-connection of various mental disorders and Central Auditory deficits. Measurements and Main Results The medline research revealed 564 papers when using the keywords 'Auditory deficits' and 'mental disorders'. 79 papers were referring specifically to Central Auditory Processing Disorders in connection with mental disorders. 175 papers were related to Schizophrenia, 126 to learning disabilities, 29 to Parkinson's disease, 88 to dyslexia and 39 to Alzheimer's disease. Assessment of the Central Auditory System is carried out through a great variety of tests that fall into two main categories: psychoacoustic and electrophysiologic testing. Different specialties are involved in the diagnosis and management of Central Auditory Processing Disorders as well as the mental disorders that may co-exist with them. As a result it is essential that they are all aware of the possibilities in diagnostic procedures. Conclusions Considerable evidence exists that mental disorders may correlate with CAPD and this correlation could be revealed through psychoacoustics and neuroaudiology. Mental disorders that relate to Central Auditory Processing Disorders are: Schizophrenia, attention deficit disorders, Alzheimer's disease, learning disabilities, dyslexia, depression, Auditory hallucinations, Parkinson's disease, alcoholism, anorexia and childhood mental retardation. Clinical awareness should be high in order for doctors of the two specialties, psychiatry and otorhinolaryngology-audiology to collaborate.

  • Overview of Central Auditory Processing Deficits in Older Adults
    Seminars in hearing, 2015
    Co-Authors: Samuel R. Atcherson, Naveen K. Nagaraj, Sarah Warren Kennett, Meredith Levisee
    Abstract:

    Although there are many reported age-related declines in the human body, the notion that a Central Auditory Processing deficit exists in older adults has not always been clear. Hearing loss and both structural and functional Central nervous system changes with advancing age are contributors to how we listen, hear, and process Auditory information. Even older adults with normal or near normal hearing sensitivity may exhibit age-related Central Auditory Processing deficits as measured behaviorally and/or electrophysiologically. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of assessment and rehabilitative approaches for Central Auditory Processing deficits in older adults. It is hoped that the outcome of the information presented here will help clinicians with older adult patients who do not exhibit the typical Auditory Processing behaviors exhibited by others at the same age and with comparable hearing sensitivity all in the absence of other health-related conditions.
