In chronic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), in addition to peripheral impairments, signs of central auditory processing disorder (CAPD) are often observed, associated with impaired auditory processing at the level of brainstem and cortical structures. The aim of this study was to identify a possible relationship between the temporal thresholds for motion perception and the signs of impairments in central speech processing in patients with chronic SNHL and CAPD. A total of 75 patients from the St. Petersburg City Audiology Center, aged 43 to 85 years (mean age 67 ± 7 years), with symmetrical SNHL of grades I and II, with and without CAPD, were examined. The results of temporal threshold measurements for assessing sound source movement in azimuth and when moving away/approaching, as well as the identified relationships between these thresholds and the data of four speech tests, suggest that a decrease in speech intelligibility test scores in quiet and noise in patients with SNHL of grades I and II indicates a significant increase in the time required for patients to determine the direction of movement.

Key words: localization thresholds, motion perception, sensorineural hearing loss, presbycusis, central auditory processing disorders, speech tests
