Abstract：Objective This study focuses on the ability of Auditory Neuropathy patients to recognize speech and detect temporal gaps. Methods:Speech Recognition Score and Gap Detection Test were administered to 12 subjects (24ears) with Au?ditory Neuropathy, 26 ears with sensorineural hearing loss, 30ears with normal hearing level. SPSS 18.0 was used for analyzing the relation between Speech recognition Score and Gap detection Threshold. Results In comparison with the control group (r=-0.026, P>0.05), Gap detection Thresholds was negatively correlated with PBmax in the AN group (r=-0.603, P<0.05). Conclusion The Gap Detection Test holds promise as a clinically useful tool in the assessment of temporal resolution in the clinical arena. Subjects with poorer speech perception performance showed larger Gap Detection Thresholds in this study. Gap Detection Test can also assess the effect of hearing aids and cochlear implant. Gap Detection Thresholds sometimes can re?place the Speech Audiometry, if the subjects cannot conduct the Speech Recognition Score test.
