Dyslexia affects about 5%-10% of the child population. Aim of the work: Evaluate the effect of computer-based remediation program on dichotic listening ability in dyslexic children. Patients and Method: Study population included 30 dyslexic children who received central auditory training on dichotic listening ability 2sessions/week for 8 weeks, each session lasted for 30 minutes for two months. Each child underwent: Full history taking, Modified Arabic Dyslexic Screening Test (MADST) and Basic audiological evaluation. Central auditory processing questionnaire for children and Arabic Dichotic Digit test (DDT) were done pre- and post-remediation program. Results: Using the DDT, 90% of study population had dichotic listening deficit. Central auditory questionnaire showed all abilities were affected and mostly affected abilities were attention, scholastic achievement and behavior. Central auditory questionnaire pre-& post- remediation results revealed subjective improvement following Dichotic listening remediation on dyslexic children. DDT pre& post remediation results relieved significant improvement following dichotic listening remediation program.
