ABSTRACT

Introdução: A COVID-19 pode afetar o sistema auditivo, justificando a avaliação da audição de indivíduos infectados. Objetivo: analisar a via auditiva até o tronco encefálico de indivíduos acometidos por COVID-19 comparados ao grupo controle. Método: Estudo observacional transversal analítico realizado em uma amostra não probabilística de adultos que tiveram COVID-19, que foram comparados com um grupo controle, sem queixa auditiva. A avaliação consistiu em: medidas de imitância acústica, audiometria tonal liminar (ATL), emissões otoacústicas evocadas por estímulo transiente (EOET) e potencial evocado auditivo de tronco encefálico (PEATE). Resultados: Foram avaliados 77 indivíduos, sendo, 41 participantes do grupo COVID-19 (idade média de 26,3) e 36 do grupo controle (idade média de 25,8). Os limiares auditivos estavam dentro dos padrões da normalidade para todos os indivíduos do grupo COVID-19, sendo significativamente maiores para as frequências de 1000, 2000 e 3000 Hz à direita. A amplitude das EOET foi significativamente menor na banda de frequência de 1500 à direita. Houve correlação significativa e negativa para as frequências de 1000 Hz e 3000 Hz à direita e para as frequências de 1000, 2000 e 3000 Hz à esquerda, entre EOET e ATL. Foi verificado aumento da latência absoluta da onda I, do PEATE, na orelha esquerda. Conclusão: a COVID-19 afetou locais específicos do sistema auditivo. Houve diminuição da acuidade auditiva e do funcionamento das células ciliadas externas da cóclea, bem como aumento do tempo de condução neural do som na porção distal do VII par craniano à esquerda.

Introduction: COVID-19 can affect the auditory system, justifying the evaluation of the hearing of infected individuals. Objective: to analyze the auditory pathway to the brainstem of individuals affected by COVID-19 compared to the control group. Method: Analytical cross-sectional observational study carried out in a non-probabilistic sample of adults who had COVID-19, who were compared with a control group, without hearing complaints. The evaluation consisted of: acoustic immittance measurements, pure tone audiometry (PTA), transient stimulus-evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) and brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP). Results: 77 individuals were evaluated, 41 participants in the COVID-19 group (average age of 26.3) and 36 in the control group (average age of 25.8). Hearing thresholds were within normal limits for all individuals in the COVID-19 group, being significantly higher for the frequencies of 1000, 2000 and 3000 Hz on the right. TEOAE amplitude was significantly lower in the 1500 frequency band on the right. There was a significant and negative correlation for the frequencies of 1000 Hz and 3000 Hz on the right and for the frequencies of 1000, 2000 and 3000 Hz on the left, between TEOAE and PTA. An increase in the absolute latency of wave I, of the BAEP, was observed in the left ear. Conclusion: COVID-19 affected specific locations in the auditory system. There was a decrease in auditory acuity and the functioning of the outer hair cells of the cochlea, as well as an increase in the neural conduction time of sound in the distal portion of the VII cranial nerve on the left.

ABSTRACT

Introducción: Las pruebas de patrones de frecuencia y patrones de duración son consideradas los gold standard de evaluación del ordenamiento auditivo temporal. A pesar de su amplia difusión, la extensión y duración de estas pruebas dificultan su utilización dentro de baterías de evaluación del procesamiento auditivo. Sin embargo, dadas sus características estructurales, pareciera ser posible reducirlas sin perder su precisión diagnóstica. Objetivo: Determinar las propiedades diagnósticas de versiones abreviadas de las pruebas de patrones de frecuencia y patrones de duración. Material y Método: Se realizó un estudio transversal de diseño observacional analítico. Se evaluaron 166 oídos de 88 sujetos con edades entre 18 y 33 años, los cuales fueron clasificados con normalidad o alteración del ordenamiento auditivo temporal. Se utilizaron las pruebas originales de Auditec de 30 ítems por oído como referencia y los primeros 10 ítems de cada oído como versión abreviada. Resultados: La versión abreviada de la prueba de patrones de frecuencia obtuvo una sensibilidad de un 94,33%, una especificidad del 94,29% y un área bajo la curva ROC de 0,980. La versión abreviada de la prueba de patrones de duración obtuvo una sensibilidad de un 89,58%, especificidad del 71,88% y un área bajo la curva ROC de 0,916. Ambas versiones tuvieron un índice de concordancia adecuado. Conclusiones: Las versiones abreviadas de la prueba de patrones de frecuencia y patrones de duración cuentan con excelentes propiedades diagnósticas para la evaluación del ordenamiento auditivo temporal y pueden ser utilizadas de manera intercambiable con las versiones originales.


Introduction: The frequency and duration pattern tests are considered the gold standard for assessing auditory temporal ordering. Despite their wide dissemination, the length and duration of these tests make it difficult to use them within auditory processing assessment batteries. However, given their structural characteristics, reducing them without losing their diagnostic accuracy seems possible. Aim: Determine the diagnostic properties of abbreviated versions of the Frequency Patterns and Duration Patterns tests. Material and Method: A cross-sectional study with an analytical observational design was carried out. 166 ears of 88 subjects aged between 18 and 33 years were evaluated, classified as normal or altered in temporal auditory order. The original Auditec tests of 30 items per ear were used as a reference, and the first 10 items of each ear as an abbreviated version. Results: The abbreviated version of the frequency patterns test obtained a sensitivity of 94.33%, a specificity of 94.29%, and an area under the ROC curve of 0.980. The abbreviated version of the duration pattern test obtained a sensitivity of 89.58%, a specificity of 71.88%, and an area under the ROC curve of 0.916. Both versions had an adequate concordance index. Conclusion: The abbreviated versions of the frequency patterns and duration patterns test have excellent diagnostic properties for assessing auditory temporal ordering and can be used interchangeably with the original versions.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the clinical application effect of otoendoscopic myringoplasty with tragus perichondrium.Methods:The clinical data of 20 patients with tympanic membrane perforation who received treatment in Suixian Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from March 2019 to March 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Among the 20 patients, 6 patients had traumatic tympanic membrane perforation, and 14 patients had tympanic membrane perforation caused by chronic suppurative otitis media (stationary phase). All patients underwent otoendoscopic myringoplasty with tragus perichondrium. After surgery, the healing of tympanic membrane perforation and the improvement of hearing were evaluated.Results:After surgery, all patients were followed up for 12 months. Traumatic tympanic membrane perforation healed in six patients. The tympanic membrane grafts survived in 12 patients with tympanic membrane perforation caused by chronic suppurative otitis media (stationary phase). One patient had poor postoperative healing and the remaining small perforation healed after secondary treatment under local anesthesia. Healing from tympanic membrane perforation was not achieved in one patient because of perforation caused by otitis media. The healing rate of tympanic membrane perforation caused by chronic suppurative otitis media was 95%. Before surgery, the air conduction pure tone hearing threshold was (42 ± 11) dBHL, and it was (25 ± 10) dBHL 12 months after surgery. There was a significant difference in air conduction pure tone hearing threshold between before and after surgery ( t = 4.00, P < 0.05). No complications such as tragus cartilage infection, skin flap necrosis of external auditory meatus, peripheral facial paralysis, hearing loss, or tinnitus occurred in 20 patients with tympanic membrane perforation. Conclusion:Otoendoscopic myringoplasty with tragus perichondrium leads to a high perforation healing rate, improves healing greatly, has no serious complications, produces minimal trauma, and contributes to a rapid recovery from tympanic membrane perforation.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To analyze the results of the joint screening of newborn hearing and deafness genes in Dalian to provide a reference for the prevention and control of hereditary deafness.Methods:Eight hundred and forty-two neonates born in Dalian Women and Children′s Medical Group from January 1, 2022 to May 30, 2022 were screened retrospectively, using AABR (automatic brainstem evoked potential). And 20 mutation sites of common genetic deafness 4 genes , including GJB2, GJB3, SLC26A4 (PDS) and mitochondrial genes associated with drug-induced deafness (MT-RNRI)(12SrRNA), were detected by high-throughput sequencing.Results:Among the 842 newborns, 840 passed hearing screening (99.8%); 36 cases (4.3%) passed the hearing screening but not the hearing loss gene screening; 804 cases passed through the both screening (95.5%); 2 cases (0.24%) failed in the both screening. 38 cases of deafness gene mutations were detected, with a total carrying rate of 4.51% (38/842). Among them, the carrying rates of heterozygous mutations in GJB2, GJB3, SLC26A4 (PDS), MT-RNRI (12SrRNA) were 1.90%, 0.24%, 1.30%, and 0.95%, respectively. The carrying rates of GJB2/GJB3 composite heterozygous mutations were 0.12%.Conclusions:The combined screening of neonatal hearing and deafness genes can reduce the missed rate of hearing screening. The carrier rate of neonatal deafness gene in Dalian is 4.51%, with the highest GJB 2 carrier rate, followed by SLC26A4 (PDS) carrier rate.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose To analyze the performance of students aged between in an auditory skills screening software program, considering the influence of biological determinants and the correlation of auditory tasks with the behavioral assessment tests of central auditory processing (PAC), as well as to present the cutoff points of the battery. Methods In the first stage, the sample consisted of 96 students with typical development, who underwent hearing screening at school. A self-perception questionnaire and the auditory tasks of sound localization (SL), temporal resolution (TR), temporal ordering of frequency (OT-F) and duration (OT-D), auditory closure (AC), dichotic digit- binaural integration (DD) and figure-ground (FG) were applied. Of these, 66 children participated in the second stage of the study, including basic and behavioral audiological assessment from PAC. Results The gender variable influenced the DD task to the right ear. Age influenced the outcome of five auditory tasks. The right ear performed better in the DD and OT-F tasks. At the age between 6 and 7 years, there was a correlation between screening and diagnosis in the tasks of AC, TR, DD, FG, and OT-F. At the age of 8 years, there was a correlation in the DD and OT-F tasks. The pass/fail criteria varied according to the task and biological determinants. Conclusion There was a correlation between screening and diagnosis in a greater number of tasks in the age group between 6 and 7 years. The cut-off points for the auditory tasks should be analyzed according to age, sex and/or ear side.

Na etapa de atenção direcionada, a média de desempenho foi 99,33% na orelha direita e 98% na esquerda, sem diferença estatística. Na sequência de aplicação 2, houve tendência de melhores resultados, mais acentuada na orelha esquerda, sem significância estatística, mantendo elevadas a variação de desempenho e a assimetria entre orelhas. Verificou-se na comparação entre as sequências, na etapa de atenção dividida, que na orelha direita 40% dos indivíduos não variaram, 33% pioraram, 26,7% melhoraram; na orelha esquerda, 6,6% não variaram, 20% pioraram e 73,33% melhoraram. Na etapa de atenção direcionada houve estabilidade nos resultados. Conclusão Os adultos normo-ouvintes, com queixas comunicativas, apresentaram um perfil heterogêneo, especialmente na etapa de atenção dividida, com acentuada diferença entre as orelhas e variabilidade de respostas.


ABSTRACT Purpose To analyze the performance of normal-hearing adults with communication complaints in the Dichotic Sentences Test. Methods We selected from the database 15 normal-hearing participants with normal results in the Digits Dichotic Test, aged between 19 and 44 years, right-handed, who reported communicative complaints. The Dichotic Sentences Test was applied using two protocols consisting of four different combinations of lists called sequences 1 and 2, in the following order: training, divided attention step, right and left directed attention steps. Results In the first application sequence, the average performance in the divided attention step was 84.7% for the right ear and 60.67% for the left, with statistical difference between ears. The asymmetry between ears varied from -50% to 60%. In the directed attention step, the average performance was 99.33% for the right ear and 98% for the left, with no statistical difference. In the second application sequence, there was a tendency for better results, more pronounced for the left ear, with no statistical significance, with the performance variation and asymmetry between ears remaining high. In the comparison between the sequences, in the divided attention step, it was found that, for the right ear, 40% of the individuals did not vary, 33% performed worse, and 26.7% performed better; for the left ear, 6.6% did not vary, 20% performed worse, and 73.33% performed better. There was result stability in the directed attention step. Conclusion The normal-hearing adults with communication complaints presented a heterogeneous profile, especially in the divided attention step, with a marked difference between ears and response variability.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction The bone-anchored hearing implant system (BAHS) is an effective amplification system that transmits the sounds received by an external operating system to the inner ear by bypassing the middle ear placed in the temporal bone. Objective This study compares the results of patients who underwent bone-anchored hearing implant system (BAHS) surgery using two different surgical methods in terms of preoperative and postoperative complications, surgical time, audiological findings, and patient satisfaction. Methods The results of 22 patients who underwent BAHS were evaluated retrospectively from video records and audiological results, The Turkish Version of the Glasgow Benefit Inventory (GBI) questionnaire were evaluated. Two different surgical approaches were used for implantation: the linear incision technique (n = 9) and the punch technique (n = 13). Results Mean surgical durations were 9.67 ± 2.85 and 47.65 ± 6.13 minutes for Groups A and B, respectively, and these were significantly different (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences between the groups' speech recognition scores for a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of +5 (p = 0.173), SNR of 0 (p = 0.315), or SNR of -5 (p = 0.360) and results of the GBI scores. Conclusion The punch technique has a significant advantage due to a shorter surgery duration without increased surgical complications. Additionally, the punch technique showed no significant difference in hearing performance or satisfaction compared with linear incision.

Objective To verify the correlation between the practice of choir music and the temporal ordering in elderly with no prior formal musical experience. Method The study design is cross-sectional. The sample consisted of 85 elderly individuals of both genders, ≥ 60 years old, and it was composed of 43 elderly individuals with no prior formal musical experience but choir participation (research group) and 42 elderly individuals who never sang in a choir and had no music training during their life (control group). The research group was divided based on three categories of choir time. The performances of the research and control groups were compared with pitch pattern sequence (PPS), verbal condition (PPSverb), humming condition (PPShum), and duration pattern sequence (DPS) tests. Results The mean PPShum and PPSverb showed a statistically significant difference by choir time with a different mean of PPShum between the no singing experience group (59%) and the > 10 years of singing experience group (90%) (p= 0.02). Regarding the averages of PPSverb, there was a statistically significant difference between the no singing experience (23%) and > 10 years of choir time (54%) (p= 0.02) groups. Conclusion The findings indicate a better performance in the temporal ordering of the elderly who are not formal musicians but who have choir experience in the research group in relation to those with no choir experience in the control group.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar se a estimulação das habilidades auditivas de fonoaudiólogos com e sem dificuldades no processamento auditivo central (PAC) interfere no desempenho da avaliação perceptivo-auditiva (APA) do desvio vocal predominante. Métodos Estudo prospectivo, quase-experimental, realizado com 26 fonoaudiólogos, desenvolvido em cinco etapas: Etapa1: Pré-intervenção - primeira APA, composta por 30 amostras da vogal sustentada /ε/, acrescidas de 20% de repetição (seis amostras repetidas), apresentadas randomicamente, na qual os participantes deveriam identificar o desvio vocal predominante; Etapa 2: Triagem das habilidades do PAC com nove testes da plataforma AudBility; Etapa 3: Treinamento perceptivo-auditivo do desvio vocal predominante e segunda APA, idêntica à anterior; Etapa 4: Intervenção - estimulação das habilidades auditivas (EHA), realizada por 14 fonoaudiólogos, sendo oito que não passaram na triagem da Etapa 2 (Grupo1) e seis que passaram na triagem e, espontaneamente, realizaram a EHA (Grupo G2a). Os outros 12 participantes não realizaram EHA e formaram o Grupo G2b; Etapa 5: Pós-intervenção - realização da terceira APA, idêntica às anteriores, por todos os fonoaudiólogos. A acurácia das respostas e confiabilidade intra-avaliadores foram verificadas ao longo das três APAs. Resultados Os três grupos apresentaram desempenhos semelhantes nas três APAs. G1 e G2a não apresentaram melhora no desempenho da análise do desvio vocal predominante pós-EHA. A confiabilidade intra-avaliador pré-intervenção no G1 foi inferior a do G2a e G2b nas APA1 e APA2, e similar a eles na APA3, pós-intervenção. Conclusão EHA proposto não impactou a acurácia da APA, mas influenciou a confiabilidade intra-avaliador dos fonoaudiólogos com dificuldades nas habilidades auditivas do PAC.


ABSTRACT Purpose To verify if the stimulation of auditory skills of speech therapists with and without difficulty in auditory processing (CAP) interferes in performance of auditory-perceptual assessment (APA) regarding predominant vocal deviation. Methods Prospective, quasi-experimental study, conducted with 26 speech therapists and developed in five stages: Stage1: Pre-intervention - APA, composed of 30 samples of sustained vowel emissions /ε/, plus 20% repetition (six repeated samples) in which participants should identify the predominant vocal deviation. Stage2: Screening of CAP skills through nine tests of AudBility web platform. Stage3: Perceptual-auditory training of predominant vocal deviation and, later, second APA, identical to previous one. Stage4: Intervention - Stimulation of auditory skills (EHA) performed by 14 participants, eight of which failed the screening from Stage2 and six who passed th e screening and spontaneously performed EHA (Group G2a ). The other 12 participants did not perform EHA and formed the G2b Group. Stage5: Post-intervention - Third execution of APA, identical to previous, by all participants. Accuracy of analysis and intra-rater reliability were assessed in all APAs. Results The three groups showed similar performances in the three APAs. G1 and G2a showed no improvement in the performance of the analysis of predominant vocal deviation after EHA. Pre-intervention intra-rater reliability in G1 was lower than in G2a and G2b in APA1 and APA2, and similar to them in APA3, post-intervention. Conclusion Proposed EHA had no impact on APA accuracy, but influenced in intra-rater reliability of speech therapists with difficulty in the hearing skills of CAP.

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the efficacy of intratympanic injection versus intravenous drip of prednisolone acetate in the treatment of sudden hearing loss. Methods:A total of 120 patients with sudden hearing loss who received treatment in the Department of Otolaryngology, Mingzhou Hospital between January 2017 and January 2020 were included in this study. They were divided into intratympanic injection group (intratympanic injection of prednisolone acetate, n = 60) and intravenous injection group (intravenous injection of prednisolone acetate, n = 60) according to route of drug administration. After 8 days of treatment, clinical efficacy was compared between the two groups. The hearing thresholds at 500 Hz and 1 000 Hz in both groups were detected using pure tone audiometry. The levels of procalcitonin and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and adverse drug reactions were compared between the two groups. Results:After treatment, total response rate in the intratympanic injection group was significantly higher than that in the intravenous injection group (93.33% vs. 80.00%, χ2 = 4.61, P < 0.05). The hearing threshold at 500 Hz in the intratympanic injection group was significantly lower than that in the intravenous injection group [(38.69 ± 3.56) vs. (42.36 ± 4.36), t = 5.05, P < 0.001). The hearing threshold at 1 000 Hz in the intratympanic injection group was significantly lower than that in the intravenous injection group [(32.36 ± 3.36) vs. (40.15 ± 4.12), t = 11.35, P < 0.001). After treatment, procalcitonin level in the intratympanic injection group was significantly lower than that in the intravenous injection group [(0.65 ± 0.12) μg/L vs. (0.98 ± 0.15) μg/L, t = 13.30, P < 0.001)]. High-sensitivity C-reactive protein level in the intratympanic injection group was significantly lower than that in the intravenous injection group [(3.28 ± 0.36) mg/L vs. (5.26 ± 0.56) mg/L, t = 23.03, P < 0.001]. There was no significant difference in incidence of adverse reactions between intratympanic injection and intravenous injection groups (8.33% vs. 10.00%, χ2 = 0.10, P > 0.05). Conclusion:Compared with intravenous drip of prednisolone acetate, intratympanic injection of prednisolone acetate can improve the clinical symptoms of patients with sudden hearing loss and enhance clinical efficacy.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo Verificar as respostas das emissões otoacústicas (EOA) evocadas por estímulo transiente e produto de distorção em indivíduos com doença de Ménière. Métodos Estudo transversal com casuística composta por 60 indivíduos de 19 a 75 anos de idade, distribuídos em dois grupos: grupo estudo, com 32 indivíduos com diagnóstico médico de doença de Ménière, sem outros riscos, e grupo controle formado por 28 indivíduos com perda coclear, sem doença de Ménière, pareado por idade e gênero ao grupo estudo. Critério de elegibilidade: curva tipo A, sem perda condutiva ou mista ou suspeita de alteração retrococlear. A avaliação audiológica foi composta por anamnese, inspeção do meato acústico externo, audiometria tonal limiar, logoaudiometria, medidas de imitância acústica e emissões otoacústicas evocadas por estímulo transiente e produto de distorção. Resultados Os indivíduos com Ménière apresentaram maior ocorrência de perda unilateral, zumbido pitch grave, vertigem e plenitude auricular em relação ao controle. Nesses indivíduos, houve maior incompatibilidade entre os resultados das EOA e da audiometria tonal: nas perdas unilaterais, observaram-se alterações nas EOA nas orelhas com limiares auditivos normais do lado contralateral, caracterizando disfunções cocleares. Nas orelhas com perda coclear, houve presença de EOAT (por estímulo transiente) e ausência de EOAPD (produto de distorção), contrapondo-se ao grupo controle, que apresentou ausência de EOAT e de EOAPD, como o esperado em perdas cocleares de outras etiologias. Conclusão A pesquisa das emissões na doença de Ménière identificou disfunção coclear na orelha contralateral nos casos unilaterais e presença de EOAT com ausência de EOAPD nas orelhas com perda auditiva, diferenciando-se das perdas cocleares de outras etiologias.


ABSTRACT Purpose To verify the responses of Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions by transient stimulus and distortion product in individuals with Ménière's Disease. Methods Cross-sectional study with a sample composed of 60 individuals, aged 19 to 75 years, divided into two groups: study group, with 32 individuals with a medical diagnosis of Ménière's disease, without other risks and a control group formed by 28 individuals with cochlear loss without Meniere's disease, age and sex matched to the study group. Eligibility criteria: type A curve, without conductive or mixed loss or suspected retrocochlear alteration. The audiological evaluation consisted of anamnesis, inspection of the external acoustic meatus, pure tone audiometry, logoaudiometry, measures of acoustic immittance and transient evoked otoacoustic emissions and distortion product. Results Individuals with Ménière's disease had a higher occurrence of unilateral hearing loss, low pitch tinnitus, vertigo and ear fullness in relation to the control. In these individuals, there was greater incompatibility between the results of OAE and pure tone audiometry: in unilateral hearing loss, alterations in OAE were observed in ears with normal hearing thresholds on the contralateral side, characterizing cochlear dysfunctions. In the ears with cochlear loss, there was the presence of TEOAE and absence of DPOAE, in contrast to the control group, which showed the absence of TEOAE and DPOAE, as expected in cochlear losses of other etiologies. Conclusion The investigation of emissions in Ménière's disease identified cochlear dysfunction in the contralateral ear in unilateral cases and the presence of TOAE with absence of DPOAE in ears with hearing loss, differentiating from cochlear losses of other etiologies.

ABSTRACT

Abstract Introduction: Traumatic brain injury can impair the central auditory pathways and auditory cortex. Hence, individuals who suffered a traumatic brain injury may be at risk of central auditory processing disorders, which can be identified with behavioral tests that assess central auditory function. Objective: To characterize and compare the performance of children and adolescents with and without a history of traumatic brain injury in behavioral tests that assess central auditory processing. Method: The sample comprised 8- to 18-year-old individuals of both sexes who suffered moderate or severe closed traumatic brain injury 3 to 24 months before their participation in the study and whose hearing thresholds were normal. These individuals were matched for sex and age with other subjects without a history of traumatic brain injury and submitted to behavioral assessment of the central auditory processing with special tests to assess hearing skills (namely, auditory closure, figure-ground, and temporal processing), selected according to their chronological age and response-ability. Results: The study group performed statistically worse than the comparison group in auditory closure, figure-ground in verbal dichotic listening, and temporal ordering. The central auditory processing tests with abnormal results in the comparison group were different from those in the study group. Conclusion: Central auditory processing disorders were identified in all subjects of the study group, especially involving auditory closure and temporal processing skills, in comparison with subjects without a history of traumatic brain injury.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: to identify criteria used nationally and internationally to classify degrees of hearing loss, compare them with what is established in the Brazilian law, and discuss possible consequences of such a law on the social protection of people with hearing loss. Methods: a narrative review was conducted to identify the criteria used in this classification, by searching the platforms VHL and PubMed in April 2020. It included primary human research explicitly mentioning the criteria used to classify the degree of hearing loss, published between 2015 and 2019 in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Literature Review: there is a preference for the four-frequency mean at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 kHz. The Brazilian law does not follow these criteria, which may pose a barrier to people with hearing loss, hindering their access to social protection programs. Final Considerations: there is no consensus on the best criteria, although the most encompassing ones in hearing assessment predominate - which are not the ones legally used in Brazil. It is necessary to debate the Brazilian legal criteria to ensure existing social rights to part of people with hearing loss in Brazil.


RESUMO Objetivos: identificar critérios adotados nacional e internacionalmente para classificação do grau da perda auditiva, compará-los com o estabelecido na legislação brasileira e discutir as possíveis consequências dessa legislação para a proteção social de Pessoas com Deficiência (PcD) auditiva. Métodos: realizou-se uma revisão narrativa para a identificação dos critérios utilizados nessa classificação. A busca foi realizada em abril de 2020, a partir das plataformas BVS e PUBMED. Foram incluídos estudos publicados entre 2015 e 2019, em inglês, espanhol e português, sobre pesquisas primárias realizadas com seres humanos e menção explícita aos critérios utilizados para a classificação do grau da perda auditiva. Revisão da Literatura: observou-se que há uma predileção pela média entre as frequências de 0,5, 1, 2 e 4 kHz. A legislação brasileira não segue esse critério, o que pode ser uma barreira para o acesso das PcD auditiva aos programas de proteção social. Considerações Finais: não há consenso sobre qual é o melhor critério, todavia há predominância de utilização do considerado mais abrangente para a avaliação auditiva, que não é o legalmente adotado no Brasil. É necessário um debate sobre o critério legal brasileiro, a fim de promover os direitos sociais instituídos para parte das PcD auditiva no Brasil.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose: to develop lists of sentences in Brazilian Portuguese based on daily vocabulary to evaluate auditory speech perception in children. Methods: a Brazilian Portuguese corpus with adaptations to attend the criteria established for this study and analyzed by judges was used to obtain the sentences. Thirty-seven lists, each composed of thirteen sentences with fifty phonological keywords, were constructed. The material was presented to ten children, aged between 6 and 10 years, with no hearing or communication complaints. The Friedman test was applied to verify possible differences among the lists. The level of significance adopted was 5% (0.05). Results: the mean speech recognition index presented by the participants was 96.8% for all lists. The thirty-seven lists were considered statistically similar (p=0.140). Conclusion: the developed material proved to contain sentences that represent situations of children's day-to-day communication and its application is easy and quick.


RESUMO Objetivo: elaborar listas de sentenças no Português Brasileiro, com vocabulário baseado em situações de comunicação do dia a dia, para a avaliação da percepção auditiva dos sons da fala em crianças.

Resultados as análises de associação revelaram que a maioria dos participantes com alteração nas tarefas de leitura apresentou, também, adequação da ordenação temporal simples e inadequação da ordenação temporal complexa. Não houve associação com significância estatística entre o desempenho em leitura e a presença de queixas escolares, habilidade auditiva de ordenação temporal e motivação escolar. Contudo, observou-se que a maioria dos participantes com alteração na leitura apresentou queixa de dificuldades escolares, baixo desempenho acadêmico e motivação escolar média. Conclusão embora não tenha indicado significância estatística na maioria das associações realizadas, o presente estudo evidenciou que há relação entre o desempenho em leitura de crianças e adolescentes e a presença de queixas escolares, habilidade auditiva de ordenação temporal e motivação escolar.


ABSTRACT Purpose To verify the association between reading performance of children and adolescents and the presence of school complaints, hearing ordering ability and school motivation. Methods Cross-sectional observational study with a convenience sample composed of 36 participants. The instruments used were the Sociodemographic and School Characterization Questionnaire, the Economic Classification Criterion of Brazil, the auditory evaluation, the Memory Tests for Verbal and Non-verbal Sounds in Sequence, the Frequency and Duration Pattern Tests, the School Performance Test, the Assessment of Reading Processes and the Scale for Assessing Children's School Motivation. The response variable in this study was the reading process. Pearson's Chi-square and Fisher's Exact tests were used for association analyzes. Results The association analysis revealed that most participants who presented changes in reading tasks also presented adequacy of simple temporal ordering and inadequacy in complex temporal ordering. There was no statistically significant association between reading performance and the presence of school complaints, temporal ordering auditory ability and school motivation. However, it was observed that most participants with reading disorders complained of school difficulties, poor academic performance, average school motivation, adequacy of simple temporal ordering and inadequacy of complex temporal ordering. Conclusion Although it did not show statistical significance in most of the associations performed, the present study showed that there is an relationship between the reading performance of children and adolescents and the presence of school complaints, temporal ordering auditory ability and school motivation.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate the sensitivity and specificity of 5 questions of the SSQ in Brazilian Portuguese for its application as a hearing screening instrument in adults. Methods A total of 135 adults with a mean age of 49.6 years and education of 9 years took part in the study. All subjects underwent hearing tests and were divided into 2 groups according to hearing acuity: G1 - 66 individuals with normal hearing on audiometric test: and G2 - 69 participants with impaired hearing on audiometric evaluation in one or both ears. The 5 items of the SSQ5, derived from the Brazilian Portuguese version of the SSQ49 were applied. The level of significance was set at a p-value ≤ 0.05, with a 95% confidence interval. Results G1 subjects were younger and higher educated (p<0.01). A weak positive correlation was found between education and SSQ5 score only in G1. In G2, there was no correlation of age or education with SSQ5 performance. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for the relationship between SSQ5 and audiometric average was 0.854 and p-value was <0.001 with bounds of 0.79 and 0.91. SSQ5 scores were lower in G2 (p<0.001). The cut-off point with optimal balance between sensitivity and specificity was 7.3, yielding 80% accuracy, 81.8% sensitivity and 78.3% specificity. Conclusion The Brazilian Portuguese version of the SSQ5 proved suitable for screening hearing loss in adults, offering good accuracy, sensitivity and specificity for detecting hearing loss.


RESUMO Objetivo Investigar a sensibilidade e especificidade de cinco questões do SSQ em português brasileiro para sua aplicação como triagem auditiva em adultos. Método Participaram 135 adultos com idade de 49,6 anos e escolaridade média de nove anos. Todos foram submetidos à avaliação da audição, e divididos em dois grupos conforme a acuidade auditiva: G1 composto por 66 indivíduos com audiometria normal e o G2 com 69 participantes com audiometria alterada em uma ou em ambas as orelhas. Foram aplicadas as cinco questões do SSQ5 conforme a tradução para o português brasileiro do SSQ49. O nível de significância de p-valor foi definido ≤ 0,05, com intervalo de confiança de 95%. Resultados Indivíduos do G1 são mais jovens e escolarizados (p<0,01). Houve correlação positiva de grau fraco entre escolaridade e a pontuação do SSQ5 apenas no G1. No G2 não houve correlação de idade e escolaridade com o desempenho do SSQ5. A área da Curva Roc da relação entre SSQ5 e média audiométrica foi de 0,854 e o p valor foi <0,001 com limites entre 0,79 e 0,91.A pontuação do SSQ5 foi menor no G2 (p<0,001). O ponto de corte do SSQ5 de maior equilibrio entre a sensibilidade e a especificidade foi de 7,3, equivalente a 80% de acurácia, 81,8% de sensibilidade e 78,3% de especificidade. Conclusão O SSQ5 em português brasileiro mostrou-se apropriado para triagem da perda auditiva em adultos com boa acurácia, sensibilidade e especificidade na detecção da perda auditiva.

ABSTRACT

RESUMO Objetivo Investigar a influência da prática musical instrumental nas habilidades auditivas temporais e nos resultados de potenciais corticais relacionados a eventos auditivos (P300) em um grupo de jovens músicos em comparação com indivíduos sem experiência prática musical. Método Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo, observacional, analítico e transversal. Participaram 34 indivíduos entre 18 a 30 anos, de ambos os sexos, divididos em dois grupos: Grupo I (GI), composto por indivíduos músicos (n=16) e Grupo II (GII), composto por indivíduos não músicos (n=18). Todos os participantes realizaram avaliação comportamental do processamento auditivo temporal, composta pelos testes de Padrão de Duração (TPD), Padrão de Frequência (TPF), Random Gap Detection (RGDT) e avaliação eletrofisiológica - Potencial Evocado Auditivo de Longa Latência (PEALL) - P300. O GI respondeu também a um questionário específico para caracterização da prática musical. Resultados Foram observadas diferenças estatisticamente significantes com desempenho superior do GI em relação ao GII em todos os testes comportamentais aplicados (p<0,001*). Não foram encontradas diferenças significantes entre os grupos com relação aos parâmetros de latência e amplitude analisados a partir da obtenção do PEALL-300 (p>0,05). Conclusão Os achados demonstraram influência positiva da prática musical em relação ao aprimoramento de habilidades auditivas de ordenação e resolução temporal. Todos os participantes apresentaram adequado funcionamento cortical do sistema nervoso auditivo central, sem diferenças significantes entre músicos e não músicos nos parâmetros de amplitude e latência do P300.


ABSTRACT Purpose To investigate the influence of musical instrument practice on temporal auditory abilities and on the results of cortical potentials related to auditory events (P300) in a group of young musicians compared to individuals without experience in musical practice. Methods This is a prospective cross-sectional observational study. In total, 34 individuals between 18 and 30 years old, of both sexes, took part and were divided in two groups: Group I (GI), composed of musicians (n=16), and Group II (GII), composed of non-musicians (n=18). All participants underwent behavioral evaluation of temporal auditory processing, composed of Duration Pattern Sequence Test (DPS), Pitch Pattern Sequence Test (PPS), Random Gap Detection Test (RGDT) and electrophysiological evaluation - Long Latency Auditory Evoked Potential - P300. GI also answered a specific questionnaire to characterize musical practice. Results We observed statistically significant differences with superior performance of GI compared with GII in all behavioral tests (p<0.001*). The groups' performance was similar regarding the latency and amplitude parameters analyzed from LLAEP-300 data (p>0.05). Conclusion The findings show a positive influence of musical practice toward the improvement of auditory abilities of temporal ordering and resolution. All participants presented adequate cortical functioning of the central auditory nervous system, without significant differences between musicians and non-musicians when considering P300 amplitude and latency.
