Abstract Objective: This study examined the effects of bilingualism and multilingualism on supra-threshold auditory processing abilities in children. Design: Cross-sectional study. Study sample: Ninety children participated in the study, based on the number of languages they know children were assigned into three groups, i.e. monolingual, bilingual and multilingual. Amplitude modulation detection threshold, gap detection threshold, pitch discrimination threshold and spectral ripple…

Auditory Temporal Processing Abilities in Early Azari-Persian Bilinguals
TLDR
The effect of bilingualism as a potential confounding factor on auditory temporal processing abilities was investigated in early Azari-Persian bilinguals and Persian monolingual subjects and it was found that bilingualism did not have notable effect on auditoryporal processing abilities.

TLDR
This finding suggests that poor speech perception among poor readers may be one of the contributing factors for phonological processing deficits, which in turn leads to reading difficulties.
How bilinguals listen in noise: linguistic and non-linguistic factors*
Bilinguals are known to perform worse than monolinguals on speech-in-noise tests. However, the mechanisms underlying this difference are unclear. By varying the amount of linguistic information…
Subcortical encoding of sound is enhanced in bilinguals and relates to executive function advantages
TLDR
It is found that adolescent bilinguals, listening to the speech syllable, encoded the stimulus more robustly than age-matched monolinguals and showed enhanced encoding of the fundamental frequency, a feature known to underlie pitch perception and grouping of auditory objects.
Bilingualism influences inhibitory control in auditory comprehension
Never too late? An advantage on tests of auditory attention extends to late bilinguals
TLDR
It is concluded that the effects of bilingualism extend into the auditory domain and are not confined to childhood bilinguals, although their scope might be slightly different in early and late bilinguals.
