To date, APD diagnosis is mostly based on the utilization of speech material. Adequate nonspeech tests that allow differentiation between an actual central hearing disorder and related disorders such as specific language impairments are still not adequately available. In the present study, 84 children between 6 and 17 years of age (clinical group), referred to three audiological centers for APD diagnosis, were evaluated with standard audiological tests and additional auditory discrimination tests. Latter tests assessed the processing of basic acoustic features at two different stages of the ascending central auditory system: (1) auditory brainstem processing was evaluated by quantifying interaural frequency, level, and signal duration discrimination (interaural tests). (2) Diencephalic/telencephalic processing was assessed by varying the same acoustic parameters (plus signals with sinusoidal amplitude modulation), but presenting the test signals in conjunction with noise pulses to the contralateral ear (dichotic(signal/noise) tests). Data of children in the clinical group were referenced to normative data obtained from more than 300 normally developing healthy school children. The results in the audiological and the discrimination tests diverged widely. Of the 39 children that were diagnosed with APD in the audiological clinic, 30 had deficits in auditory performance. Even more alarming was the fact that of the 45 children with a negative APD diagnosis, 32 showed clear signs of a central hearing deficit. Based on these results, we suggest revising current diagnostic procedure to evaluate APD in order to more clearly differentiate between central auditory processing deficits and higher-order (cognitive and/or language) processing deficits."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s10162-014-0450-3"],["dc.identifier.isi","000335811500008"],["dc.identifier.pmid","24658855"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/33377"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Springer"],["dc.relation.issn","1438-7573"],["dc.relation.issn","1525-3961"],["dc.title","Auditory Processing Disorders with and without Central Auditory Discrimination Deficits"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

An early diagnosis is therefore necessary. Method/Patients: 182 consecutive patients with an age up to 10 years were diagnosed with permanent hearing loss in the mild to profound range in a defined 5-years-period (1.10. 1994-30. 9. 1999) in the Pedaudiologic Outpatient Clinic of the University Gottingen. Fifty children (27.5 %) had a unilateral hearing loss (30 sensorineural, 20 conductive caused by aural atresia with or without microtia), 132 a bilateral one. This paper presents the data of the consecutive series of the 30 sensorineural unilaterally hearing-impaired children (> 25 dB). Results: A slight male predominance was present (53.3%). The left ear was affected in 43.3 %, the right ear in 56.7 %. In the majority of the cases the hearing loss was severe and profound. The hearing-impairments were diagnosed by the median age of 69.5 months and all aided by the median age of 70 months. The etiology remained unknown in 60 per cent of the cases. Hearing aid acceptance at the first follow-up (on average after 6 months) was found to be 79 per cent. Conclusions: The data suggest the relevance and necessity of a pedaudiometric prevention.

Methods: In 30 normal human hemilarynges, the SLN with its internal (intSLN) and external branch (extSLN) were dissected under microsurgical conditions and marked with acrylic dye. All anatomic structures of the larynges (muscles, cartilages, and ligaments) were dissected in detail. Results: The intSLN subdivides into three branches. The superior branch (I) runs to the lingual (extralaryngeal) part of the epiglottis and sends small fibers through the epiglottic foramina to the laryngeal surface. The middle branch (II) runs through the aryepiglottic fold into the ventricular fold, and the inferior branch (III) to the piriform sinus and to the postcricoid region, forming various anastomoses (e.g., ansa galeni) with the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). The extSLN runs to the cricothyroid muscle (CT) and sends a branch through the CT along the lower rim of the thyroid cartilage into the larynx and up to the ventricular fold. This ventricular branch is a potential candidate for the innervation of the ventricular muscle (VM). Conclusions: Our results may contribute to a better understanding of supraglottic actions that provide primary functions of the larynx (such as swallowing, coughing, and breathing).

Currently available data justify the assumption that not every recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy following thyroid surgery is due to the operation itself and that the damage caused by intubation, however, may only account for a minority of these cases. The differential diagnosis of postoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy requires the use of specific tools which go beyond simple laryngoscopy and include stroboscopy as well as intra- and extralaryngeal electromyography. A partial palsy of recurrent laryngeal nerve due to intubation would be associated with severe dysphonia or aphonia, not with dyspnea because of the typical intermediate position of the paralyzed vocal folds with a normal electromyographic function of the cricothyroid muscle.

Patients: Of 107 children 8% demonstrated abnormal hearing acuity, 7% learning and intelligence disorders, 7% developmental dyslexia, 6% language impairments, and 5% attention deficit/hyperactivity. So, 59 children remained for evaluating for an APD (mean age: 85.3; SD 16.3 months). Results: Their auditory performances were normdeviant from 7% (speech audiometry) to 86% (auditory sequential short-term memory for non-words). 55% of the children exhibited a reduced dichotic word discrimination, 59% a performance below norm level in auditory sequential memory for digits, and 86% for non-words. Next step, the children of the study group were distributed according to their therapy situations at the time of examination: without; speech therapy; occupational therapy; speech therapy+occupational therapy. No significant group effects were found in the mean performances of the audiometric and psychometric tests, even though the results considerably differed. No auditory dimension made a contribution to separate the groups in a stepwise discriminant analysis.

The aim of this study was to assess the self-related complaints in quality of life and functional outcome of voice among persons who had undergone laryngeal cancer surgery. Methods: The examination took place 67 months (SD 34.8) after the last surgery, on average and finishing of 60 therapy sessions (median). First a measurement with the Goettinger Hoarseness Diagram (GHD) was carried out. Next the subjects answered self-reported standardized questionnaires for life quality in oncological patients on the same day: EORTC-QLQ-C30 and 3 scales of the German Fragebogen zur Lebenszufriedenheit (health-related fulfillment, fulfillment with work/occupation, fulfillment with social environment). For disease-related symptoms of different head and neck domains the EORTC-H&N35 was administered.Subjects: Forty-four patients (37 males, 7 females) who were treated primarily with minimal invasive laser surgery followed by functional voice rehabilitation (Goettinger Konzept). Mean age: 60.1 (SD 9.7) years.Results: The acoustic voice quality according to the GHD showed a significant correlation with self-reported \"Somatic Functioning\" (- 0.32, p = 0.04) and \"Social Functioning\" (- 0.38, p = 0.01) in the EORTC-QLQ-C30 as well as with the symptom scales \"Speech\" (0.45, p < 0.0024) resp. \"Social Contact\" (0.45, p = 0.0021) in the EORTC-H&N35. Also hoarseness and health-related fulfillment (- 0.36, p = 0.02) as well as fulfillment with work/occupation (- 0.33, p = 0.03) correlated significantly. On the other hand, there was no significant association between the GHD and the assessment of global quality of life. Conclusion: Postoperative phonatory reductions in patients with laser surgically treated laryngeal carcinoma have only a slight influence on overall quality of life. The same is true for the GHD.
