5th FRENCH-BRAZILIAN
SYMPOSIUM ON HEARING
Auditory processing and central disorders
BELO HORIZONTE – 20th and 21st of June, 2024
PRESENTATION
Audiology pays increasing attention to the exploration of auditory centers, where the spectro-temporal parameters of sound messages extracted by the cochlea are processed, denoised, categorized and eventually, interpreted.
Speech and language processes are tightly dependent on auditory circuit-abilities and are affected whenever auditory circuits do not function properly. This places auditory processing disorders on top of the current issues in audiology. Whether they result from impaired development of peripheral sound processing or from intrinsic central dysfunctions may be of minor importance since the consequences are similar in terms of developmental delay in children and disability in adults.
This 5th French Brazilian Symposium on Hearing will devote two sessions to this hot topic.
The current insights on perceptual distortions such as hyperacusis and experience of annoying tinnitus and their relation to unsuitable adaptations of auditory circuits to abnormal afferent activity will be reviewed. How psychophysics and electrophysiology guide a precise diagnosis and how hearing aid and cochlear implant technical improvements can provide solutions to the affected patients will also be examined. We trust that these highlights on a formerly neglected and now rapidly moving theme, with keynote conferences by acknowledged specialists from several continents, will blaze a trail from screening to diagnosis to rehabilitation.
See you next June 2024 in Faculty of Medicine – UFMG, Belo Horizonte!
