The process, researchers say, could give her more years of auditory acuity.
It then uses bone conduction headphones, which preserve natural auditory acuity, to transmit audio notifications for detected objects of interest.
However, their stapes (the sound-conducting middle ear ossicle) is still robust, suggesting that their auditory acuity was not as good as in more recent groups of anapsids ( procolophonoids and turtles).
All participants reported normal auditory acuity and no medical problems.
Visual acuity among sibling cheetahs, auditory acuity among members of a population of woodpeckers, predator-avoiding leap capacity among a population of frogs.
No one except Horton, an elephant with customarily large elephant ears, and correspondingly exceptional auditory acuity.
Relationships between SIN perception, cognitive function and auditory acuity were explored with Pearson's correlation analyses.
The observed effects indicate that age-related changes in auditory acuity have more to do with higher-order brain functions than previously thought.
Declines in auditory acuity [9] [10], temporal processing [11], memory [12], speed of information processing [13] [14] and the ability to filter out irrelevant competing auditory input [15] [16] also contribute to difficulties reported by older adults for hearing SIN.
In addition, the process of sensorimotor adaptation appears to depend upon accurate speech perceptual abilities, as demonstrated in a recent study by Villacorta et al., [32] linking SA performance with auditory acuity in adult talkers.
All participants were undergraduate students and right-handed as defined by the Edinburgh Inventory [70], with normal auditory acuity, normal or corrected-to normal vision, and no reported history of psychiatric or neurological illness.
