    Introduction: Central auditory processing has a strong correlation with the correct production of musical sounds and can interfere with the performance of singers in case there is some intercurrence in this system. The complaint of the difficulty of production of sharp sounds referred by singers can have several causes, organic, functional vocal technique and even auditory. Objective: Analyse auditory abilities of singers complaining about the difficulty of producing sharp sounds. Methods: A total of 17 professional singers, both sexes, aged 18 to 40, were separated into two groups, one with 12 singers with specific complaints of difficulty in producing high sounds, and one group with 5 singers without vocal complaints. All participants underwent otorhinolaryngological, basic audiological and behavioural tests to evaluate competitive speech, distorted speech, and temporal processing. They also answered the questionnaire The Auditory Processing Domains Questionnaire. Results: The study group showed worse performance, statistically significant, in the competitive speech perception tests with: dichotic syllables, with monotonic listening sentences and alteration in the temporal processing test of short and successive pure tones of different frequencies, compared to the comparison group. In the questionnaire, the study group reported a higher number of complaints of listening in environments with competitive message, noise and temporal processing, with statistical significance. Conclusion: The auditory skills profile was worse in the group of singers with complaints than in the group of singers without complaints. The group with complaints presented alterations in the auditory ability of temporal ordering. This difference in auditory skills may contribute to the self-reported difficulty in producing high pitched sounds. An auditory skill enhancement can assist singers with this type of complaint. Further studies in this area should be conducted to better understand the involvement of auditory skills in the production of high pitched sounds.

    Resiliência, perfil tipológico, e correlação com o comportamento auditivo em adultos
    (Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP), 2019-10-31) Faria, Sonia Aparecida [UNIFESP]; Pereira, Liliane Desgualdo [UNIFESP]; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0546134611213515; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3471770720070663; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Objective: To identify the correlation between the pillars of resilience, the psychological types, and the auditory behavior of the adolescent and adult patients of the neuroaudiology clinic of the Federal University of São Paulo. Methods: We selected 89 individuals of both genders, between 16 and 60 years. The volunteers were submitted to tools of resilience scales, typology questionnaire, auditory behavior evaluation questionnaire and auditory processing evaluation battery. Results: Regarding gender, 65.2% were female and 34.8% were male. Of the 16 typologies, 12 were identified in the sample, 16.9% were Extroversion, Sensation and Feeling and 15.7% of the typology Introversion, Feeling and Sensation, both with greater expressiveness. The two typologies show the perceptual sensation function and the evaluative feeling function with a greater participation in the sample. As for the neurophysiological mechanisms of auditory processing, 24.7% impairment of in selective attention, 20.2% of temporal processing and 20.2% impairment of both selective attention and temporal processing. Statistical significance was identified between the resilience pillar of sociability and the 12 typologies of the sample, as well between the pillars of self-efficacy, good mood and positive orientation for the future and the neurophysiological mechanisms of hearing, selective attention and temporal processing. Conclusions: There was a positive correlation between the profiles of the psychological types, the pillars of resilience and the auditory behavior of the adolescent and adult patients of the neuroaudiology clinic.

    BACKGROUND: hearing impairment has a negative impact on communication. This impact can be minimized by hearing aids fitting and auditory training. AIM: to verify the effectiveness of auditory training in elderly individuals, new users of hearing aids, regarding the benefit in fitting. METHOD: forty-two individuals with mild to moderate neurosensorial hearing loss, ranging in age from 60 to 90 years, were selected. Individuals were new users of bilateral hearing aids and were divided in two groups: Experimental Group (EG) and Sham Group (SG). The EG was submitted to training in an acoustic cabin during six sessions. Both groups were assessed through the following tests: Speech in Noise, Dichotic Digits and the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit Aphab self-assessment questionnaire, without the hearing aids, four and eight weeks after they were fitted. RESULTS: there was a statistically significant difference between the groups in both of the used tests, and for the Abbreviated Profile of Hearing Aid Benefit Aphab in the second and third assessments in the sub-scales of: Communication Easiness, Reverberation and Environmental Noise. CONCLUSION: auditory training favored the improvement in the auditory processing abilities and benefited the hearing aid fitting process.
