Abstract

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that begins in early childhood and can be seen in adulthood. Psychotherapy and complementary therapy methods are used in the treatment of ADHD. In the treatment of ADHD, auditory psychophonology (IPF), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and interactive metronome (IM) are used as complementary treatment methods. In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effect of Neurosound device, which is based on the IPF theory, on attention and perception. For this purpose, a listening attitude questionnaire test program was developed and the operating parameters of the device were determined A total of 48 people, 41 people (27 Boys, 14 Girls) between the ages of 7 and 23 who were diagnosed with ADHD and 7 people (6 Boys, 1 Girl) between 8 and 15 who were diagnosed with Dyslexia, participated in the study. The MOXO d-CPT test was applied to 48 different participants before and after the application of the Neurosound Device. The MOXO d-CPT test results of 41 participants diagnosed with ADHD and 7 participants diagnosed with Dyslexia were analyzed for indices of attention, timing, impulsivity and hyperactivity. According to the Moxo d-CPT test results analysis, the index with the highest improvement in ADHD patients is the timing index, which improved from -2.82 points to -0.98 points and improved to 1.84 points. According to the Moxo d-PT test results analysis, the index with the least improvement in people diagnosed with ADHD is the timing index, from -1,802 points to -0.75 points, with 1.052 points improving. According to the Moxo d-CPT test results analysis, the index with the highest improvement in individuals diagnosed with dyslexia is the impulsivity index, which is observed to increase from 0.82 to 0.089 points and to develop 0.731 points. According to the Moxo d-CPT test results analysis, the index with the least improvement in people diagnosed with dyslexia is the hyperactivity index, which is observed to improve from -0.902 points to -0.82 points in total, with a total improvement of 0.082 points. Findings obtained from both the Listening Attitude Questionnaire Test program and the MOXO d-CPT test have shown that the Neurosound device is an aid to the treatment of individuals with both dyslexia and ADHD. However, it was observed that the results of the Listening Attitude Questionnaire Test program and the MOXO d-CPT test results were compatible with each other. As a result, it is evaluated that the Listening Attitude Questionnaire Test program can be used as an alternative to the MOXO d-CPT test.
