    INTRODUCTION: The obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) is a respiratory disorder that occurs during sleep and it is relatively common in children. AIM: The goal of this paper is to verify if there is a relationship between the obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and auditory processing. METHOD: In order to do that, three groups of children ranging in age from 5 to 11 were studied, including a normal group. Twenty subjects who made up the study group were submitted to ear, nose and throat (ENT) exams and to polysomnography (PSG), and were divided in two groups: GROUP I (RO) comprised of 10 children who presented oral breathing and displayed normal PSG, and GROUP II (SAS) comprised of 10 children who presented oral breathing and displayed abnormal PSG. Their performance was compared to the performance of the third group - GROUP III (REN) comprised of 10 children who did not refer ENT difficulties. All the subjects completed a basic audiometric assessment as well as an auditory processing diagnosis. RESULTS: The analyses of the results revealed a statistically significant difference in ENT exams related to the turbinate and the palatine tonsils. Group II presented a higher incidence of turbinate hypertrophy levels II and III (p < 0.001) and palatine tonsils hypertrophy grades III and IV (p 0.007). Regarding the auditory processing assessment, a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) was obtained in the dichotic digits test. Group II performed worse than group III. Also, for the non-verbal sequence memory test, Group II obtained a worse result (p < 0.022) than Group I. CONCLUSIONS: Subjects with OSAS obtained worse results in auditory processing tests.

    Aging can alter temporal processing and affect speech perception. AIM: To compare temporal processing auditory processing in elderly subject to and new hearing aid users. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 60 elderly patients with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The procedures selected were the Duration Pattern Tests (DPT) and gaps in noise (GIN) test were used to analyze the responses of correct identification, and the temporal acuity threshold before and after the fitting of hearing aids. Study design: clinical and experimental research with non-probability sample of convenience. RESULTS: There was no statistically significant difference between the responses from GI and GII individuals. The elderly users of hearing aids had a lower gap detection threshold, greater recognition of gaps and of discrimination of the duration pattern in relation to when they were only potential users. CONCLUSION: There was a deterioration in temporal processing skills, regardless of hearing loss degrees. Thus, the effect of acoustic stimulation by the use of a hearing aid improved resolution and temporal ordering.

    Estudo das latências e amplitudes dos potenciais evocados auditivos de média latência em indivíduos audiologicamente normais
    (ABORL-CCF Associação Brasileira de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia Cérvico-Facial, 2007-02-01) Neves, Ivone Ferreira; Gonçalves, Isabela Crivellaro; Leite, Renata Aparecida; Magliaro, Fernanda Cristina Leite; Matas, Carla Gentile [UNIFESP]; Universidade de São Paulo (USP); FMABC; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Contemporary cohort cross-sectional study. Introduction: The auditory middle latency response (AMLR) is generated between 10 and 80 ms and has multiple generators, with a greater contribution from the thalamus-cortical pathways. The establishment of normality criteria for latency and amplitude values is necessary for clinical use. AIM: to analyze the latency and amplitude of the AMLR in individuals without audiological disorders, and verify the reliability of Pa-Nb amplitude. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The AMLR of 25 individuals was collected during 2005 and the Na, Pa, Nb components were analyzed for each tested ear (A1 and A2), and electrode positioning (C3 and C4). RESULTS: A statistically significant difference was noticed among middle latency values for C3A1 and C4A1 regarding components Na and Pa, and no difference for component Nb and mean values for amplitudes Na-Pa and Pa-Nb. Conclusions: We established average and standard deviation values for latency and amplitude parameters for components Na, Pa, Nb and Na-Pa and Pa-Nb, under conditions C3A1, C4A1, C3A2, C4A2, providing a parameter for the analysis and interpretation of this potential.

    Processamento auditivo em idosos: estudo da interação por meio de testes com estímulos verbais e não-verbais
    (ABORL-CCF Associação Brasileira de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia Cérvico-Facial, 2004-04-01) Pinheiro, Maria Madalena Canina [UNIFESP]; Pereira, Liliane Desgualdo [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Presbyacusis is a hearing loss combined with functional auditory decline due to the aging process. AIM: The aim of this study is to characterize verbal and nonverbal sound interaction aspects in elderly individuals with and without hearing loss by means of Binaural Fusion Test, Sound Localization Test at five directions and Pediatric Sentence Identification (PSI), taking into consideration each procedure and hearing loss magnitude. STUDY DESIGN: Clinical study with transversal cohort. MATERIAL AND METHOD: A number of 110 elderly individuals, aged between 60 to 85 years, with normal hearing and with symmetric neurossensorial hearing loss up to moderately severe hearing impairment participated in this study. The common auditory behavior for all the selected tests was nominated as interaction. The analysis was performed by means of a single procedure and also based on audiometric magnitude. RESULTS: There were more individuals that failed the Binaural Fusion Test. The procedures that showed significant statistical dependency on the audiometric magnitude groups were Sound Localization Test, Temporal Lateralization Test and PSI-MCI (-10) Test. CONCLUSION: Elderly individuals present difficulty in the binaural interaction process when the auditory information is not complete. The magnitude of the hearing loss interfered specially in the localization auditory behavior.

    Subjects presenting difficulties in understanding speech with competing sounds may have absence of otoacoustic emission suppression and the acoustic reflex. AIM: To study the performance of the efferent auditory system in normal hearing subjects complaining of difficulties to understand speech in noise. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A prospective study comprising 50 normal-hearing subjects aged from 19 to 32 years, reporting difficulties with speech recognition in noise (with complaints - WC) or not (with no complaints - WNC). Distortion product evoked otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were tested at frequencies from 1500 to 6000 Hz.The contralateral acoustic reflex (CAR) was investigated from 500 to 4000 Hz. RESULTS: Groups differed statistically as to the occurrence of CAR in the left ear at 4000 Hz. At 1500 Hz, there was a statistically significant effect - absence of DPOAEs in the WC group in the right ear. In left ears, absence of DPOAE suppression was higher in the WC at 1500 Hz and 2000 Hz. CONCLUSION: An association between self-reported difficulties in discriminating speech in noise and the absence of contralateral acoustic reflex at 4000 Hz in the left ear was observed; there was also absence of the suppression effect of DPOAEs, especially at middle frequencies in both ears.

    (ABORL-CCF Associação Brasileira de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia Cérvico-Facial, 2006-12-01) Onoda, Raquel Mari [UNIFESP]; Pereira, Liliane Desgualdo [UNIFESP]; Guilherme, Arnaldo [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    The aim of this study was to analyze the auditory behavior in Pitch(PPS) and Duration(DPS)Pattern Sequence tests and in the Dichotic Listening (Dichotic Digits Test/DDT) of familiar and unfamiliar words (Staggered Spondaic Words/SSW) in Japanese descendants that speak Japanese and Japanese descendants that do not speak Japanese, and to compare these findings with a group of non-Japanese descendants who have no contact with the Japanese language. METHOD: 60 High School graduates aged 17 to 40 years were evaluated. Subjects were divided into three groups: GJJ, Japanese descendants that speak Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese; GJP, Japanese descendants that speak Portuguese and do not speak Japanese; GBP non-oriental descendants that speak Brazilian Portuguese. All subjects filled in a questionnaire about their languages and musical abilities. Their ability in pattern-recognition tests was assessed by the PPS and DPS tests, their ability to recognize familiar words was tested by DDT and their ability to recognize unfamiliar words was tested by SSW. Results. GJJ and GJP showed higher performances than the group of Brazilians (GBP) in the PPS. RESULTS: show a statistically significant difference among the groups with a higher mean for the SSW results in GJJ compred to GJP and GBP. CONCLUSION:The results of SSW test seem to be influenced by bilingualism.

    (Assoc Brasileira Otorrinolaringologia & Cirurgia Cervicofacial, 2013-05-01) Amaral, Maria Isabel Ramos do; Faria Martins, Paula Maria; Colella-Santos, Maria Francisca [UNIFESP]; Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP); State Univ Midwest; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Temporal resolution enables the identification of fine differences in speech segmental aspects. Random Gap Detection Test (RGDT) and Gaps-In-Noise Test (GIN) evaluate such skills, by using different acoustic parameters.Objective: To compare the performance of normal school aged children without learning disabilities and/or hearing complaints in the GIN and RGDT, and analyze potential performance differences in these two procedures.Method: Cross sectional contemporary cohort study. 28 children, aged 8-10 years were evaluated. After peripheral audiological evaluation, RGDT and GIN were performed.Results: There were no statistical differences in performance between gender and age on the RGDT and GIN tests, between the right and left ears on the GIN test, and between frequencies on the RGDT test. the mean detection threshold gap for RGDT was 9.25 +/- 3.67 ms, and for GIN was 4.32 +/- 0.61 ms (right ear) and 4.43 +/- 0.79 ms (left ear). the results of the GIN Test were statistically lower than those from the RGDT (p < 0.001).Conclusion: Both tests indicated normal temporal resolution for all 28 children. GIN test presents advantages regarding the ease of application, task variable, stimuli and presentations form. However, the RGDT has advantages concerning the time required for administration and scoring.
