Speech discrimination and lip reading in patients with word deafness or auditory agnosia.

abstract：:Listening to white noise may facilitate cognitive performance, including new word learning, for some individuals. This study investigated whether auditory white noise facilitates the learning of novel written words from context in healthy young adults. Sixty-nine participants were required to determine the meaning of ...
