Popis: The aim of this study was to compare the auditory and visual reaction times of adolescents with auditory and visual impairment and those of controls without any impairment in order to investigate whether adolescents who lack one sense have an enhanced ability with the other. A total of 64 adolescents with auditory impairment, 60 adolescents with visual impairment, and 59 controls without impairment, were included in the study. Visually impaired adolescents simple auditory reaction times, auditory impaired adolescents simple visual reaction time, and the controls visual and auditory simple reaction times were evaluated with the New Test 100. While no statistically significant difference was found between auditory reaction times of controls and visually impaired adolescents (p>0.05), a significant difference was observed in visual reaction times of controls and auditory impaired adolescents (p
