Spectrum Sounds is a revolutionary restorative audio experience specifically designed to support cognitive wellness for individuals on the autism spectrum. This Vibe Drop harnesses the science of neuroacoustics to create a transformative listening journey that promotes neural synchrony and sensory integration—addressing core processing challenges often experienced with ASD.At the foundation of Spectrum Sounds is our proprietary 40Hz gamma frequency technology, scientifically validated to enhance brain connectivity and communication between brain regions. This core frequency is complemented by an intricate layering of binaural beats (3Hz, 8Hz in C, and 10Hz in F) that gently guide the brain into beneficial theta and alpha states associated with deep peace and relaxed attention—states that can help reduce sensory overwhelm and anxiety.Drawing from ancestral intelligence and modern neuroscience, Spectrum Sounds incorporates elements inspired by established methodologies like the Tomatis Method and The Listening Program®, approaches that have demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing auditory processing for individuals with autism.Unlike traditional ASD therapies focusing on isolated skills, Spectrum Sounds addresses fundamental sensory integration through targeted auditory stimulation. The careful orchestration of 528Hz, 531Hz, and precise binaural frequencies strengthens functional connectivity between auditory cortices and subcortical structures, potentially improving communication abilities and social engagement.The composition follows a gentle rhythmic pattern that promotes creative neuroplasticity – the brain's natural ability to form new neural pathways. This process may help individuals on the spectrum develop improved sensory processing, emotional regulation, and attention skills over time.Recommended use: Listen with quality headphones for 15-20 minutes daily in a comfortable, low-stimulation environment. Consistent use may support greater sensory resilience and cognitive clarity.Send us a textSupport the show

On episode 234, Emily Kircher-Morris talks with Austina De Bonte about auditory processing differences. They discuss how these differences can often be mistaken for attention issues or social difficulties, and what it all means for everyday life. Dr. De Bonte shares some methodologies used for testing, accommodations that are available, and ground-breaking auditory therapies that have been found to help those dealing with auditory processing challenges. Takeaways Auditory processing differences can have a significant impact on how individuals experience the world and react to various situations. Processing differences can often mimic other traits, such as attention issues or difficulties with social relationships. Individuals with auditory processing differences may try to hide or compensate for their difficulties, which can be exhausting and impact their well-being. The Abled Kids Foundation specializes in auditory processing disorder and offers unique approaches to assessment and support. An ear filter device can improve word recognition by altering the timing between the ears. Low gain hearing aids and auditory therapies may provide some benefit, but their effectiveness is uncertain. Misophonia, a sensitivity to certain sounds, does not have many effective strategies for treatment. Accommodations such as preferential seating and FM systems in classrooms can help individuals with auditory processing differences.

No doubt you've noticed how our role as SLPs overlaps with other professions. Collaboration is highly desirable of course, but sometimes roles overlap so much as to be almost indistinguishable. It can be a disconcerting feeling - as though the earth has moved beneath your feet! Today, Denise Stratton, a veteran pediatric speech-language pathologist, tackles the confusion and frustration that can arise in this multifaceted field. Join us as we explore the root causes of speech and language disorders, helping us understand why multiple diagnoses and professions often converge at the same point. We'll confront the professional uncertainty many young SLPs feel about their scope of practice and compensation, and reveal simple but powerful interventions that can help navigate these professional lanes more effectively.In the second part of this episode, we delve into the intricate relationship between auditory processing and memory, shedding light on the importance of targeting root causes rather than just applying labels to language disorders. Denise shares a treasure trove of effective interventions and tools. By honing in on these root causes and understanding the progression of interventions, we can achieve significantly better outcomes for our clients. Don't forget to explore the wealth of materials available on The Speech Umbrella website and the value of sharing knowledge within our professional community.

This week, we are joined by Dr. Vanessa Rentschler, an audiology expert from Portland, Oregon, with a wealth of experience and a Doctor of Audiology Degree from Salus University. Dr. Rentschler specializes in improving hearing and listening skills through direct auditory training. Today, she'll discuss neurodiversity-affirming assessment and treatment for auditory processing difficulties. We'll explore how auditory struggles, whether due to hearing loss, head injuries, or neurodivergence, can impact communication and learning. Listen to learn more! Resources: Sound Sensitivity - YouTube Auditory Assessment: Diagnostic auditory processing test protocols (adapted for individual needs) guide differential diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Functional listening assessments can effectively inform school/employment accommodation recommendations. Comprehensive consulting on both clinical services and educational advocacy can help individuals and families navigate systems and obtain appropriate support. Auditory Remediation: Brainstem pathways involved in processing differences between the ears can be effectively trained with evidence-based auditory training tasks. Synchronized and balanced listening with both ears is a pre-requisite function for filtering out noise from speech, among other auditory functions (like localization). Explicit training on speech sounds and sensorimotor timing is also effective in reducing listening effort and improving understanding. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Welcome to today's interview on the Emotional Kids Summit. In this conversation, Kelly, an Occupational Therapist, and provider of the Integrated Listening System (ILS), discusses the focus system and its benefits for children's learning. Kelly explains that the focus system incorporates decades of auditory processing and intervention research. It uses specially treated music, bone-conduction headphones, and activities performed while listening. The music is designed to target different brain functions and skill sets, and the bone-conduction headphones provide a multisensory experience. Kelly emphasizes that the focus system is not intended to correct hearing loss but to improve auditory processing.** Note: I said Integrated Learning System by accident.If you'd like to see the interview on video, join the Companion Course to this series.

Auditory processing and language processing are two subjects that overlap, but not everyone understands how they are related and how they impact children who struggle with both of them. Joining me today to help me discuss this is Lois Kam Heymann, a speech and language pathologist with over four decades of experience with auditory processing disorder and auditory language processing challenges. Parents often come to Lois saying that their children aren't listening, and if you are someone who feels that their child or children don't listen, then this episode is definitely going to be worthwhile for you as Lois explains what could be going on. She also explains the difference between auditory processing disorders and ADHD, which are often confused even by medical professionals. The only way for parents and professionals to intervene appropriately is for a thorough assessment to be done. We need to know exactly where the problem lies so that we can intervene appropriately, especially since these problems can lead to frustration and low self-esteem in the child. I love the work that Lois is doing, so I hope that you will tune in as she discusses all of these topics and more! It's never too late to address auditory processing disorders. Show Notes: [2:39] - Auditory skills don't usually start in the ear but in the brain. [5:11] - Some kids with language difficulty are misdiagnosed with something like ADHD. [6:39] - The difference between an auditory processing disorder and ADHD. [9:28] - Lois lists off and explains the different parts of auditory processing. [11:39] - How auditory processing difficulty can affect behavior. [14:14] - What can parents do to help their children succeed in school? [17:19] - The only way to build pathways is with auditory input. [19:42] - It is not generally a teacher's job to teach auditory skills. [20:39] - Adults can have auditory processing disorders, and it's never too late. [21:27] - What can parents do during summer months? [24:56] - Modeling language and behavior is the best way a parent can teach. [25:40] - Lois shares information with us about her company ListenLoveLearn. [28:54] - Hear about Lois' main objective.

Guest: Dr. Dawn Aerts, AuD Approximately 5% of children struggle with processing auditory input but are never given a formal diagnosis or intervention options that can help. This is because when hearing concerns are expressed, a child is sent to an audiologist for a hearing test. If that test indicates normal hearing, they are sent back to the pediatrician - even though that child still struggles to understand or process auditory input, despite their normal hearing. In this episode, Nicole is joined by pediatric audiologist, Dr. Dawn Aerts. Dr. Aerts noticed the pattern of children with normal hearing who still struggled with auditory processing and wanted to create a space to help bridge the gap for these families to help them find interventions to help, including her main focus, remote microphone technology. She is a leader in research concerning auditory processing in children with normal hearing and has recently founded her company, Helpful Hearing, to guide families through the process of using remote microphone technology to help with these challenges. Episode Highlights: What is auditory processing? How is auditory processing disorder diagnosed? What are things we can do to help?

Dr Mounya Elhilali did the keynote talk at the NER Neural Engineering conference in Baltimore in 2023. I was able to sit down with her and talk to learn more about her auditory processing selectivity research. Top 3 Takeaways: Nurses especially can get used to beeping and alarms which can be dangerous for patients. "Under anesthesia, you see some basic responses, but they are different than when you engage the, let's say, an animal in an awake state, and then when they are awake and actually behaving and engaging with the system" Audio recordings can be tuned to remove ambient noise but they need to be perfectly calibrated to distances between microphones. 0:45 "Do you want to describe your work a little bit?" 3:00 Can you talk about the Cocktail Party Problem? 4:30 How are alarms and beeping override our attention 8:30 How do you gather your data, what kinds of devices? 10:00 What is the role of awake vs non-awake states in auditory processing? 11:15 How did you get into this? 13:00 How are you involved in the translation of the science? 16:15 Why are recordings harder to hear than in real life? 17:15 Is there anything we didn't talk about?

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.03.14.532543v1?rss=1 Authors: Ciralli, B., Malfatti, T., Hilscher, M. M., Leao, R. N., Cederroth, C. R., Leao, K. E., Kullander, K. Abstract: Background: Psychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, are complex and challenging to study, partly due to the lack of suitable animal models. However, the absence of the Slc10a4 gene, which codes for a monoaminergic and cholinergic associated vesicular transporter protein, in knockout mice (Slc10a4-/-), leads to the accumulation of extracellular dopamine. This makes them a potential animal model for schizophrenia, a disorder known to be associated with altered dopamine signaling in the brain. Methods: The locomotion, auditory sensory filtering and prepulse inhibition (PPI) of Slc10a4-/- mice were quantified and compared to wildtype (WT) littermates. Intrahippocampal electrodes were used to record auditory event-related potentials (aERPs) for quantifying sensory filtering in response to paired-clicks. The channel above aERPs phase reversal was chosen for reliably comparing results between animals, and aERPs amplitude and latency of click responses were quantified. WT and Slc10a4-/- mice were also administered subanesthetic doses of ketamine to provoke psychomimetic behavior. Results: Baseline locomotion during auditory stimulation was similar between Slc10a4-/- mice and WT littermates. In WT animals, normal auditory gating was observed after i.p saline injections, and it was maintained under the influence of 5 mg/kg ketamine, but disrupted by 20 mg/kg ketamine. On the other hand, Slc10a4-/- mice did not show significant differences between N40 S1 and S2 amplitude responses in saline or low dose ketamine treatment. Auditory gating was considered preserved since the second N40 peak was consistently suppressed, but with increased latency. The P80 component showed higher amplitude, with shorter S2 latency under saline and 5 mg/kg ketamine treatment in Slc10a4-/- mice, which was not observed in WT littermates. Prepulse inhibition was also decreased in Slc10a4-/- mice when the longer interstimulus interval of 100 ms was applied, compared to WT littermates. Conclusion: The Slc10a4-/- mice responses indicate that cholinergic and monoaminergic systems participate in the PPI magnitude, in the temporal coding (response latency) of the auditory sensory gating component N40, and in the amplitude of aERPs P80 component. These results suggest that Slc10a4 -/- mice can be considered as potential models for neuropsychiatric conditions. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.09.27.509695v1?rss=1 Authors: Cusinato, R., Alnes, S. L., van Maren, E., Boccalaro, I., Ledergerber, D., Adamantidis, A., Imbach, L. L., Schindler, K., Baud, M. O., Tzovara, A. Abstract: During rest, intrinsic neural dynamics manifest at multiple timescales, which progressively increase along visual and somatosensory hierarchies. Theoretically, intrinsic timescales are thought to facilitate processing of external stimuli at multiple stages. However, direct links between timescales at rest and sensory processing, as well as translation to the auditory system are lacking. Here, we used intracranial electroencephalography in humans to show that in the auditory network, intrinsic neural timescales progressively increase, while the spectral slope flattens, from temporal to entorhinal cortex, hippocampus, and amygdala. Within the neocortex, intrinsic timescales exhibit spatial gradients that follow the temporal lobe anatomy. Crucially, intrinsic timescales at rest can explain the latency of auditory responses: as intrinsic timescales increase, so do the single-electrode response onset and peak latencies. Our results suggest that the human auditory network exhibits a repertoire of intrinsic neural dynamics, which manifest in cortical gradients with millimeter resolution and may provide a variety of temporal windows to support auditory processing.

The Personal Brain Trainer Podcast: Embodying Executive Functions
Auditory processing is a cognitive skill that allows us to interpret and find meaning from sounds in our environment. In other words, it is how we make sense of what we hear. In this podcast, we will review ten types of auditory processing and will discuss the importance of each skill for early literacy and learning at large. What does this have to do with executive functioning? If we are not properly interpreting and making sense of the sounds in our environment we are not able to provide our executive functions with the needed information. - Auditory discrimination: the ability to distinguish between sounds that are similar but are distinct. - Auditory closure: the ability to understand words when some sounds or phonemes are missing. - Auditory figure-ground: the ability to focus on specific sounds in noisy environments. - Auditory synthesis: the ability to pull together sounds into a meaningful whole. - Auditory memory: the ability to recall information that is presented orally. - Auditory sequencing: the ability to understand and recall the specific order of sounds and words. - Auditory reasoning: the ability to understand auditory information in a logical way and to draw conclusions. - Auditory conceptualization: the ability to interpret a sound or sounds. - Auditory attention: the ability to filter out unnecessary sounds, as well as sustain and shift attention when focusing on sounds. - Auditory localization: the ability to determine the source and location of a sound.

Founder of Pro Vox in Liverpool, Senior Popular Vocals Lecturer at Leeds Conservatoire, volunteer at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospital Voice Clinic, researcher and PHD student specialising in singers experiences in using in-ear technology. Carrie Birmingham joins Alexa this week on Singing Teachers Talk to talk us through her speciality, in-ear technology. KEY TAKEAWAYS Carrie started looking into in-ear technology and protection when talking to singers about the lack of precautions they take and how they don't consider what permanent damage could be done in the future. As someone with a hearing impairment, these are things that Carrie thinks about often. We need to be aware of what our exposure levels actually are but it's hard in today's world where we're inundated with loud noise. Even walking down the street or eating at a restaurant, you'd be surprised just how high the decibel levels actually get. Hearing is a psychoacoustic response, meaning that we all hear things in a different way. For one person something could be incredibly loud and damage their hearing, whereas someone may be more used to that level of exposure. It's about experimenting with what is right for you. Cassie thinks that as teachers we need to be more proactive about making our students who have higher exposure more aware of what they need to do to keep safe. If your singer works regularly in a band or with a drummer, we should know right away that they are at higher risk. BEST MOMENTS ‘There are many performers who have tinnitus and some to a level where they can't perform anymore' ‘Is your in-ear mix safe?' ‘Singers respond to what they're hearing as well as what they're feeling' EPISODE RESOURCES BAST Training Guest Website: http://www.facebook.com/ProVox1 @ProVoxLiverpool Contact Email: mccsb@leeds.ac.uk cbirmingham@lcm.ac.uk Relevant Links & Mentions: Soundbrenner Watch Artists mentioned: Plan B, Chris Martin, Mariah Carey, Sigrid Help Musicians UK: https://www.helpmusicians.org.uk/ Psycho-Acoustics: David Howard & Ian Howell ABOUT THE GUEST Carrie Birmingham is vocal teacher and researcher based across Liverpool and Leeds. Alongside running her own private studio, Pro Vox based in Liverpool, she is also a Senior Popular Vocals Lecturer at Leeds Conservatoire, a Vocal Health Education First Aid Assessor, a Singing Specialist Volunteer (VRC) at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospital voice clinic, alongside current study as a PhD candidate at the School of Music, University of Leeds; specialising in 'Singers' experiences of working with in-ear technology'. As a hearing-impaired alt-rock singer currently wearing one hearing aid, her recent years of research have taken a specific focus as to 'how we hear' and more specifically 'how singers hear', alongside 'the impact of hearing devices/protection during live performance', which is a field lacking in research. Carrie hopes to bring new theories to light within this subject matter across coming years. Carrie recently completed her MA in Applied Practice of Vocal Pedagogy with Voice Workshop Ltd. alongside recent years' worth of CPD in Vocal Anatomy, Vocal Health, Teaching Young and Changing Voices, Auditory Processing, Vocal Rehab, and The Exploration of Tinnitus, to name a few. Prior to recent studies she holds a Teaching Diploma in Popular Vocals from the London College of Music, and a Ba (Hons) Popular Music & Drama and Theatre Studies from Liverpool Hope University. Her performance experience spans over 20 years as a dancer, musical theatre performer, actor, flautist, saxophonist, singer-songwriter performing in a variety of venues and performance settings across the UK, most notably fronting alternative-rock band, F I G U R E S since 2015 and now a new duo project, Charlie's Girl launched in late 2021. Alongside her teaching, researching, volunteering and performing roles, Carrie is also the north area representative to the Association of Teachers of Singing (AOTOS) where she is involved in bringing together a community of singing teachers, choral directors, and professional voice users across the north of the UK. She hosts annual CPD events and is available to offer advice to new and growing teachers through many events and networking opportunities with the charity.

“Auditory Processing is what the brain does with what the ear hears.”~Jack Katz, Ph.D.Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) shares many traits with ADHD, and this causes confusion amongst professionals (as well as the general public). How do we know if difficulty sustaining attention has to do with auditory processing or attention regulation? Can you have both APD and ADHD? Today we chat with Dr. Christa Reeves and Dr. Megan Reeves, a mother-daughter audiologist team who specialize in APD and will help answer some of our questions! In this interview. we'll cover the following (and more!):How do we determine if APD is playing a role in our difficulty sustaining attention?What treatments are out there for those of us who have an APD diagnosis?Do children and adults have the same treatment for APD?Is APD genetic?What school and work accomodations can help support APD?We'll also learn"An effective treatment for Misophonia How uncorrected hearing loss can increase cognitive decline in adults (PSA: correct hearing sooner rather than later!)Why the "huh habit" can damage relationshipsSome great resources for connecting with APD specialists, no matter where you live.Helpful links:To find specialists near you:International Guild of Auditory Processing Specialistshttps://www.igaps.org/Dr. Megan Reeves (adults)https://www.helixaudiology.com/Dr. Christa Reeves (pediatrics)https://littlelisteners.com/

Please support EndoGenius by subscribing on Apple Podcasts, leaving a 5-star review, and sharing with your friends and family!For the first time, we understand that the processing of sound drives many of the brain's core functions, thanks to the work of Dr. Nina Kraus and her book Of Sound Mind: How Our Brain Constructs a Meaningful Sonic World. Dr. Kraus is a Professor of Neurobiology in the Department of Communication Science & Disorders, and the head of the Brain Volts Lab at Northwestern University. She explores the role sound plays in brain health, the power of music for healing, the destructive power of noise on the nervous system. She traces what happens in the brain when we speak another language, have a language disorder, experience rhythm, listen to the noises of nature, or suffer an injury. Kraus shows how our engagement with sound leaves a fundamental imprint on who we are.In this episode, we discuss: What Sound Is and the Ingredients Sound is Comprised OfHow Our Brains Interpret SoundThe Similarities between Sound Waves and Brain WavesThe Relationship between Auditory Processing and CognitionHow Head Trauma Can Impact Our Ability to Learn New ThingsWhy Music Brings Us into the Present MomentHow to Strengthen and Preserve Hearing Ability Over TimeConnect with Nina:Book: Of Sound MindWebsite: Brain Volts LabInstagram: @BrainVoltsNUTwitter: @BrainVolts Connect with Ahmed:Website: https://ahmednayel.com/ Facebook: Ahmed NayelInstagram: @the.ahmed.nayelTwitter: @theahmednayelYouTubeReminder: Listening is great, but don't forget to apply what you learned in your life.Thank you for tuning in!
Basic listening skills are critical to language and reading development, but if they're missing how do you begin to work on them? Episode 45, “How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?” is full of ideas and activities for building this foundational skill. This is one of the most useful things I do with young clients!--- Podcast Links ---Phonological Awareness Tracking Form Simple Tools with Denise B-I-N-G-O!
When a child has difficulty with listening skills, auditory processing and auditory memory, we could give it a lot of names, including Auditory Processing Disorder, or APD. But whether or not a client has an official APD diagnosis, SO many of them struggle in these areas. When it comes to working on listening, attention, and memory, you can't start too soon, because improving listening and processing improves everything else. ---- Show Links ----Podcast EpisodesPhonological Awareness Tracking Form - episode 11 Narrative Language Intervention with Doug Peterson Part 1 - episode 23Narrative Language Intervention with Doug Peterson Part 2 - episode 24Opportunity Cost - episode 42 Phonological Awareness ProductsPrime to Rhyme Cards Phonological Awareness Tracking Form (actual form)
One of my biggest struggles, as an Autistic Person with Sensory Processing Differences, is often the modern indoor sensory environment (especially places where many humans tend to gather under one roof). Before I knew I was Autistic, I would find myself in these places, feeling extremely agitated and overwhelmed but not realizing this feeling was sensory overload, and my flight/fight response being triggered.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.08.12.247841v1?rss=1 Authors: Guadalupe, T., Kong, X.-Z., Akkermans, S. E. A., Fisher, S. E., Francks, C. Abstract: Most people have a right-ear advantage for the perception of spoken syllables, consistent with left hemisphere dominance for speech processing. However, there is considerable variation, with some people showing left-ear advantage. The extent to which this variation is reflected in brain structure remains unclear. We tested for relations between hemispheric asymmetries of auditory processing and of grey matter in 281 adults, using dichotic listening and voxel-based morphometry. This was the largest study of this issue to date. Per-voxel asymmetry indexes were derived for each participant following registration of brain magnetic resonance images to a template that was symmetrized. The asymmetry index derived from dichotic listening was related to grey matter asymmetry in clusters of voxels corresponding to the amygdala and cerebellum lobule VI. There was also a smaller, non-significant cluster in the posterior superior temporal gyrus, a region of auditory cortex. These findings contribute to the mapping of asymmetrical structure-function links in the human brain, and suggest that subcortical structures should be investigated in relation to hemispheric dominance for speech processing, in addition to auditory cortex.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.07.11.198929v1?rss=1 Authors: Fabrice Bardy Abstract: A novel experimental paradigm, deconvolution of ears activity (DEA), is presented which allows to disentangle overlapping neural activity from both auditory cortices when two auditory stimuli are presented closely together in time in each ear. Pairs of multi-tone complexes were presented either binaurally, or sequentially by alternating presentation order in each ear (i.e., first tone complex of the pair presented to one ear and second tone complex to the other ear), using stimulus onset asynchronies (SOAs) shorter than the neural response length. This timing strategy creates overlapping responses, which can be mathematically separated using least-squares deconvolution. The DEA paradigm allowed the evaluation of the neural representation in the auditory cortex of responses to stimuli presented at syllabic rates (i.e., SOAs between 120 and 260 ms). Analysis of the neuromagnetic responses in each cortex offered a sensitive technique to study hemispheric lateralization, ear representation (right versus left), pathway advantage (contra- versus ipsi-lateral) and cortical binaural interaction. To provide a proof-of-concept of the DEA paradigm, data was recorded from three normal-hearing adults. Results showed good test-retest reliability, and indicated that the difference score between hemispheres can potentially be used to assess central auditory processing. This suggests that the method could be a potentially valuable tool for generating an objective auditory profile by assessing individual fine-grained auditory processing using a non-invasive recording method.Competing Interest StatementThe authors have declared no competing interest.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.06.12.149484v1?rss=1 Authors: Saito, K., Sun, H., Tierney, A. T. Abstract: In this brief report, we examined the test-retest reliability of our in-house explicit auditory processing measures in the context of 30 L1 and L2 English users. The participants took the same test battery which consisted of a total of four discrimination tasks (encoding acoustic details of formant, pitch, duration, and rise time) and two reproduction tasks (repeating novel melodic and rhythmic patterns) at Days 1 and 2. According to the results, the participants' initial and second test scores demonstrated medium-to-large associations (r = .562-.907). The results suggest that the tests can tap into various dimensions of individuals' auditory acuity and integration abilities. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info
Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.06.10.141325v1?rss=1 Authors: Mickael, M. E. Abstract: Covid-19 strategy of lockdown has affected the lives of millions. The strict actions to enclose the epidemic have exposed many households to inner tensions. Domestic violence has been reported to increase during the lockdown. However, the reasons for this phenomenon have not been thoroughly investigated. Melanocortin GPCRs family contribution to aggression is well documented. ASIP (nonagouti) gene plays a vital role in regulating the melanocortin GPCRs family function, and it is responsible for regulating aggression in mice. We conducted a selection analysis of ASIP. We found that it negatively purified from Shark to humans. In order to better asses the effect of this gene in mammals, we performed RNA-seq analysis of a knockout of an ASIP crisper-cas mouse model. We found that ASIP KO in mice upregulates several genes controlling auditory function, including Phox2b, Mpk13, Fat2, Neurod2, Slc18a3, Gon4l Gbx2, Slc6a3(Dat1) Aldh1a7 Tyrp1 and Lbx1. Interestingly, we found that Slc6a5, and Lamp5 as well as IL33, which are associated with startle disease, are also upregulated in response to knocking out ASIP. These findings are indicative of a direct autoimmune effect between aggression-associated genes and startle disease. Furthermore, in order to validate the link between aggression and auditory inputs processing. We conducted psychological tests of persons who experienced lockdown. We found that aggression has risen by 16 % during the lockdown. Furthermore, 3% of the subjects interviewed reported a change in their hearing abilities. Our data shed light on the importance of the auditory input in aggression and open perceptions to interpret how hearing and aggression interact at the molecular neural circuit level.

Does your child seem to have a problem hearing in the classroom? Children may pass a standard hearing test but still have trouble hearing in the classroom because they have central auditory processing disorder (CAPD). CAPD exists in children who have otherwise normal hearing tests (i.e., hear the beep at a specific pitch and raise their hand), but continue to have difficulties in the classroom due to their inability to perform in background noise or in situations with multiple speakers. These are not children with general hearing loss, but they do require professional evaluation and treatment.Tiffany N. Colon, AuD, audiologist at Summit Medical, is here to discuss the latest developments in Central Auditory Processing.

Background/Aims: Specific language impairment (SLI) is believed to be associated with nonverbal auditory (NVA) deficits. It remains unclear, however, whether children with SLI show deficits in auditory time processing, time processing in general, frequency discrimination (FD), or NVA processing in general. Patients and Methods: Twenty-seven children (aged 8-11) with SLI and 27 control children (CG), matched for age and gender, were retrospectively compared with regard to their performance on five NVA skills in terms of just noticeable differences (JND) and time order judgments (TOJ). JND was used for FD, intensity discrimination, and gap detection, while TOJ was used for FD and clicks. Results: Children with SLI performed significantly worse than the CG only on the FD tasks (JND and TOJ). The other nonverbal tasks showed no significant intergroup differences. Additionally, moderate associations were found between the FD tasks and phonological skills, as well as between FD tasks and language scores. Conclusion: Children with SLI appear to have restricted FD skills compared to controls, but there was no evidence for a common NVA deficit or reduced temporal auditory abilities.

1. In awake Greater Horseshoe bats (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum) the responses of 64 inferior colliculus neurons to electrically elicited vocalizations (VOC) and combinations of these with simulated echoes (AS: pure tones and AS(FM): sinusoidally frequency-modulated tones mimicking echoes from wing beating insects) were recorded. 2. The neurons responding to the species-specific echolocation sound elicited by electrical stimulation of the central grey matter had best frequencies between 76 and 86 kHz. The response patterns to the invariable echolocation sound varied from unit to unit (Fig. 1). 3. In 26 neurons the responses to vocalized echolocation sounds markedly differed from those to identical artificial ones copying the CF-portion of the vocalized sound (AS). These neurons reacted with a different response to the same pure tone whether it was presented artificially or vocalized by the bat (Fig. 2). In these neurons vocalization activities qualitatively alter the responsiveness to the stimulus parameters of the echoes. 4. A few neurons neither responded to vocalization nor to an identical pure tone but discharged when vocalization and pure tone were presented simultaneously. 5. In 2 neurons synchronized encoding of small frequency-modulations of the pure tone (mimicking an echo returning from a wing beating prey) occurred only during vocalization. Without vocalization the neurons did not respond to the identical stimulus set (Fig. 3). In these neurons vocalization activities enhanced FM-encoding capabilities otherwise not present in these neurons. 6. FM-encoding depended on the timing between vocalization and frequency-modulated signal (echo). As soon as vocalization and FM-signal no more overlapped or at least 60–80 ms after onset of vocalization synchronized firing to the FM was lost (4 neurons) (Fig. 4). 7. 4 neurons weakly responded to playbacks of the bat's own vocalization 1 ms after onset of vocalization. But when the playback frequency was shifted to higher frequencies by more than 400 Hz the neurons changed firing patterns and the latency of the first response peak (Fig. 5). These neurons sensitive to frequency shifts in the echoes returning during vocalization may be relevant to the Doppler-shift compensation mechanism in Greater Horseshoe bats.
