57 individuals (20 to 59 years old)
Men and women |
To assess the temporal resolution skill in adults with mild to moderate SNHL and verify whether this loss influences test performance. |
Gaps-in-noise detection test (GIN) |
The temporal resolution skill is not influenced by SNHL in either the gap detection thresholds or the percentage of correct answers, in either ear. |
| Sanguebuche TR et al. (2018)10
|
8 participants (46 to 58 years old)
Men and women |
To correlate ABR findings with behavioral tests in adults with moderate SNHL. |
Random Gap Detection Test (RGDT), Masking- Level Difference (MLD), and auditory brainstem response (ABR) |
No statistically significant correlation was found between ABR and the behavioral tests (RGDT and MLD). This shows that the electrophysiological assessment does not depend exclusively on the tested skills. Regardless of whether they had hearing loss, RGDT and MLD results were not abnormal when respectively assessing the temporal resolution and binaural interaction skills. |

|
41 military (31 to 51 years old)
Group A (n = 16), without SNHL
Group B (n = 25), with mild to moderate SNHL
Men |
To assess the CAP in the military exposed to occupational noise. |
Filtered speech (FS), Staggered Spondaic Word in Portuguese (SSW), and Frequency Patter Test (FPT) |
The temporal ordering skill assessed with FPT was not influenced by peripheral hearing losses. The auditory closure skill assessed with FS was influenced by SNHL, with a significant difference only in the right ear. The binaural integration skill performance assessed with SSW was abnormal in both groups. |

|
20 participants (31 to 80 years old) with symmetrical moderate to severe SNHL
Men and women |
To assess the degree to which the central auditory pathway function influences speech intelligibility in patients with moderate to severe SNHL. |
Binaural fusion (BF), Random Gap Detection Test (RGDT), and Synthetic Speech Intelligibility (SSI) |
The tested skills were influenced according to age, degrees of speech intelligibility, and impaired hearing loss. |

|
11 individuals without SNHL (19 to 30 years old)
8 individuals with bilateral moderate SNHL (20 to 39 years old).
Men and women |
To assess the binaural separation skill in hearing subjects with SNHL to verify whether this loss influences test performance. |
Dichotic consonant- vowel test (DCVT) |
The binaural separation skill performance assessed with DCVT was abnormal in individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss. |
| Fischer M et al. (2017)14
|
1,697 participants with and without SNHL (21 to 59 years old)
Men and women |
To assess binaural integration and separation skills in hearing subjects with and without mild to moderate SNHL to verify whether this loss influences test performance. |
Filtered speech (FS), Staggered Spondaic Word in Portuguese (SSW), and Nonverbal Dichotic Test (NVDT) |
There were substantial variations in SSW scores and insignificant variations in right- ear NVDT scores. The binaural integration skill assessed with SSW was influenced by SNHL, whereas the binaural separation skill assessed with NVDT was not influenced by SNHL. |
| Roverud E et al. (2016)24
|
14 individuals (28 to 40 years old)
G1: 7 with SNHL
G2: 7 without SNHL
Men and women |
To assess the temporal ordering skill in individuals with and without symmetrical moderate to severe SNHL. |
Frequency Pattern Test (FPT) |
The temporal ordering skill assessed with FPT was not influenced by moderate to severe SNHL. Abnormal performance in both groups only in the presence of masking noise. |
| Maeda Y et al. (2016)15
|
1 individual (10 years old) Woman |
To assess binaural interaction and integration skills in a hearing 10-year girl with bilateral moderate SNHL. |
Binaural Fusion (BF) and Staggered Spondaic Word in Portuguese (SSW) |
The binaural interaction and integration skills assessed with SSW and BF were influenced by moderate SNHL. |
| Hedrick M et al. (2015)16
|
14 participants (20 to 27 years old).
G1: normal hearing in the RE.
G2: mild to severe SNHL. Men and women |
To determine the influence of hearing loss in vowel slice perception through binaural integration assessment. |
Staggered Spondaic Word in Portuguese (SSW) |
The binaural integration skill assessed with SSW was influenced by moderate to severe SNHL. |
| Koravand A, Jutras B. (2013)17
|
40 participants (9 to 12 years old).
G1: SNHL
G2: CAPD
G3: normal hearing
Men and women |
To assess the binaural separation skill. |
Nonverbal Dichotic Test (NVDT) and Dichotic Consonant- Vowel Test (DCVT) |
Individuals with SNHL had impaired binaural separation skills when recalling verbal stimuli /ba/ and /da/. Results varied according to the degrees of hearing loss. Hence, results cannot be generalized among people of this same group. |
| Gallun F et al. (2012)18
|
65 participants (44 to 64 years old)
36 (study group)
29 (control group) Men and women |
To assess temporal resolution, temporal ordering, binaural integration, and binaural interaction skills in individuals exposed and nonexposed to explosions. |
Gaps-in-Noise Detection Test (GIN), Frequency Pattern Test (FPT), Staggered Spondaic Word in Portuguese (SSW), Dichotic Digits Test (DD), and Masking-Level Difference (MLD) |
The binaural integration skill assessed with SSW is significantly influenced by SNHL. The temporal resolution, temporal ordering, binaural interaction, and binaural integration skills, respectively assessed with GIN, FPT, MLD, and DD are not significantly influenced by SNHL. |
| Koravand A, Jutras B, Roumy N (2010)19
|
26 participants (8 to 12 years old)
13 with mild to moderate SNHL
13 with normal hearing. Men and women |
To assess the binaural separation skill with the DCVT and NVDT in individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss to verify whether the hearing loss influences test results. |
Nonverbal Dichotic Test (NVDT) and Dichotic Consonant- Vowel Test (DCVT) |
SNHL can influence a significantly poorer performance in DCVT and NVDT assessing the binaural separation skill than in individuals without hearing loss. |
