Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation of hearing and listening difficulties through neuroplasticity of the auditory nervous system is a promising technique. Evidence of enhanced auditory processing in adult musicians is often not based on clinical auditory processing tests and is lacking in children with musical education.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to investigate the temporal resolution and frequency discrimination elements of auditory processing both in adults and children with musical education and to compare them with those without any musical education.
METHODS: Participants consisted of ten children without musical training and ten children with musical training with mean age 11.3 years and range 8-15 years as well as ten adults without musical education and ten adults with musical education with mean age 38.1 years and range 30-45 years. All participants were tested with two temporal resolution tests (GIN:Gaps-In-Noise and RGDT:Random Gap Detection Test), a temporal ordering frequency test (FPT:Frequency Pattern Test), and a frequency discrimination test (DLF: Different Limen for Frequency).
RESULTS: All test results revealed better performance in both children and adults with musical training for both ears.
CONCLUSIONS: A positive effect of formal music education for specific auditory processing elements in both children and adults is documented. Larger samples, longitudinal studies, as well as groups with impaired hearing and/or auditory processing are needed to further substantiate the effect shown.

摘要：
背景：通过听觉神经系统的神经可塑性来康复听力和听力困难是一种有前途的技术。成人音乐家增强听觉处理的证据通常不是基于临床听觉处理测试，并且在接受音乐教育的儿童中缺乏。
目的：本研究的目的是研究接受音乐教育的成人和儿童的听觉处理的时间分辨率和频率辨别要素，并将其与未接受音乐教育的儿童进行比较。
方法：参与者包括10名未经音乐训练的儿童和10名接受音乐训练的儿童，平均年龄为11.3岁，范围为8-15岁，以及10名未经音乐教育的成年人和10名接受音乐教育的成年人，平均年龄为38.1岁，范围为30-45岁。所有参与者都进行了两次时间分辨率测试（GIN：噪声间隙和RGDT：随机间隙检测测试），时间排序频率测试(FPT：频率模式测试)，和频率辨别测试（DLF：频率的不同限制）。
结果：所有测试结果显示，儿童和成人的双耳音乐训练表现更好。
结论：正式音乐教育对儿童和成人的特定听觉处理元素都有积极作用。更大的样品，纵向研究，以及听力和/或听觉处理受损的群体需要进一步证实所显示的效果。
