Effect of Ageing on Pitch Pattern Sequence Test

Introduction

In the past, people instinctively associated hearing difficulties with problems of the ear or the auditory nerve. However, a number of people with apparent listening problems have been found to have hearing thresholds within the normal limits. One of the causes of the problems that a group of people experiences is believed to be a deficit in their processing ability of auditory information even with normal hearing threshold findings (Jerger & Musiek, 2000). Much research has thus been conducted in this area called as central auditory processing disorder (CAPD). Evidence shows that temporal processing, the ability of the auditory system to follow fluctuations of sound and resolve them into meaningful messages, is an underlying and key component of central auditory function (Bornstein & Musiek,1984; Lister, Roberts, Shackelford, & Rogers, 2006; Pinheiro & Musiek, 1985). Audiologists are now more aware of the issue, and its diagnosis in school-aged children has especially drawn a great deal of attention as CAPD may significantly affect children’s learning (Whitelaw, 2008).

All functions of the central auditory nervous system are somehow influenced by time. In this system, the pattern of neural activity is mediated by temporal information with an accuracy of microseconds. Speech and language comprehension, the most complex function of the human central nervous system, depends on the ability to deal with sound sequences.
