Central auditory and linguistic functions were assessed in a group of 25 essentially normal-hearing, cognitively intact elderly adults. Inclusion in the study required normal performance on the Mini-Mental State Examination Procedures used to evaluate central auditory performance included monosyllabic word lists, the Synthetic Sentence Identification-Ipsilateral Competing Message (SSI-ICM) test, the Dichotic Digits test and the Staggered Spondaic Word test. Linguistic competence was assessed utilizing subtests of the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia test and the Revised Token test. Results indicate that central auditory involvement can occur without a concomitant decline in peripheral hearing sensitivity, cognitive function, or linguistic competence. Our findings also suggest, that for the type of individuals included in this study, the SSI-ICM appears to be the most sensitive measure to changes in central auditory processing abilities with advancing age.
对一组25名听力基本正常、认知功能完好的老年人进行了中枢听觉和语言功能评估。纳入该研究要求在简易精神状态检查表上表现正常。用于评估中枢听觉表现的程序包括单音节词表、合成句子识别-同侧竞争信息（SSI-ICM）测试、双耳数字测试和交错扬扬格词测试。利用波士顿诊断性失语症测试和修订的代币测试的子测试来评估语言能力。结果表明，中枢听觉受累可能在周围听觉敏感性、认知功能或语言能力没有相应下降的情况下发生。我们的研究结果还表明，对于本研究中纳入的这类个体，SSI-ICM似乎是随着年龄增长中枢听觉处理能力变化的最敏感指标。
