“…Individuals with APD may report difficulties in understanding speech in the presence of background noise or in the presence of competing messages, in sustaining auditory attention and following oral instructions, or in localizing the sound source. 10,11 However, subjective reports of listening difficulties are not the only problem in individuals with APD, and nearly 50% of the children with APD present with additional language and reading disorders, and only 4% with a 'pure' APD. 12 Correct diagnosis requires multidisciplinary assessments that should include language, reading, cognition, attention, and memory assessments, in addition to different types of auditory processing measures that consist of both non-speech and speech sounds tests (Table SI, published online only).…”

This article reviews the evidence for computer‐based auditory training (CBAT) in children with language, reading, and related learning difficulties, and evaluates the extent it can benefit children with auditory processing disorder (APD). Searches were confined to studies published between 2000 and 2008, and they are rated according to the level of evidence hierarchy proposed by the American Speech–Language Hearing Association (ASHA) in 2004. We identified 16 studies of two commercially available CBAT programs (13 studies of Fast ForWord® (FFW) and three studies of Earobics) and five further outcome studies of other non‐speech and simple speech sounds training, available for children with language, learning, and reading difficulties. The results suggest that, apart from the phonological awareness skills, the FFW and Earobics programs seem to have little effect on the language, spelling, and reading skills of children. Non‐speech and simple speech sounds training may be effective in improving children’s reading skills, but only if it is delivered by an audio‐visual method. There is some initial evidence to suggest that CBAT may be of benefit for children with APD. Further research is necessary, however, to substantiate these preliminary findings.

“…In the first phase, usually around the sixth month of intrauterine life, occurs maturation of the peripheral part of the auditory pathways. In the second phase, which starts after birth and is complete at around 18 months of postnatal life, the auditory pathways become myelinated [1][2][3] . The neural…”

O objetivo do estudo foi descrever, por meio de relato de caso, a efetividade do treinamento auditivo na modificação do sistema auditivo central de uma criança com queixas de alteração de fala e linguagem. Trata-se de um estudo retrospectivo, por meio de relato de caso, de uma criança do gênero masculino de 02 anos e 06 meses com queixas de alteração de fala e/ou linguagem. Na avaliação de potencial evocado auditivo de tronco encefálico observou-se presença de ondas eletrofisiológicas I, III e V com latência absoluta e intervalos interpicos dentro da normalidade na orelha direita e presença de ondas I, III e V com latência absoluta da onda V elevada e intervalos interpicos III-V e I-V elevados na orelha esquerda. O limiar eletrofisiológico foi de 70dBNA à direita e 40dBNA à esquerda. Após a avaliação a criança foi encaminhada para terapia fonoaudiológica baseada no treinamento auditivo informal. Para monitorar a função auditiva, após 06 meses de terapia fonoaudiológica, a criança foi encaminhada para reavaliação auditiva. Na reavaliação auditiva os resultados foram presença de ondas eletrofisiológicas I, III e V com latência absoluta e intervalos interpicos dentro da normalidade em ambas as orelhas com limiares eletrofisiológicos de 20dBNA bilateral. O programa de treinamento auditivo foi eficaz na reabilitação das habilidades auditivas.

“…All these factors were probably present in this population, as already described in the introduction. [16][17][18][19] Differing from BAEPs, in which the auditory pathway is analyzed neuroanatomically and physiologically, the pathway in the behavioral auditory processing tests is analyzed in a functional manner. Thus, the data in both the tests showed that in spite of the unimpaired nature of the auditory pathway, i.e.…”

Auditory processing in children and adolescents in situations of risk and vulnerability

et al. 2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Children and adolescents who live in situations of social vulnerability present a series of health problems. Nonetheless, affirmations that sensory and cognitive abnormalities are present are a matter of controversy. The aim of this study was to investigate aspects to auditory processing, through applying the brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) and behavioral auditory processing tests to children living on the streets, and comparison with a control group. DESIGN AND SETTING: Cross-sectional study in the Laboratory of Auditory Processing, School of Medicine, Universidade de São Paulo. METHODS:The auditory processing tests were applied to a group of 27 individuals, subdivided into 11 children (7 to 10 years old) and 16 adolescents (11 to 16 years old), of both sexes, in situations of social vulnerability, compared with an age-matched control group of 10 children and 11 adolescents without complaints. The BAEP test was also applied to investigate the integrity of the auditory pathway. RESULTS: For both children and adolescents, there were significant differences between the study and control groups in most of the tests applied, with significantly worse performance in the study group, except in the pediatric speech intelligibility test. Only one child had an abnormal result in the BAEP test. CONCLUSIONS:The results showed that the study group (children and adolescents) presented poor performance in the behavioral auditory processing tests, despite their unaltered auditory brainstem pathways, as shown by their normal results in the BAEP test.reSUMO CONTEXTO E OBJETIVO: Crianças e adolescentes que vivem em situação de vulnerabilidade social apresentam uma série de problemas de saúde. Apesar disso, ainda é controversa a afirmação sobre a existência de alterações cognitivas e/ou sensoriais. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar aspectos relacionados ao processamento auditivo, através da aplicação de testes de potencial evocado auditivo de tronco encefálico (PEATE) e avaliação comportamental do processamento auditivo em crianças em situação de rua, comparando a um grupo controle. TIPO DE ESTUDO E LOCAL: Estudo transversal no Laboratório de Processamento Auditivo, Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. MÉTODOS: Os testes de processamento auditivo foram aplicados em um grupo de 27 indivíduos, subdivididos em grupos de 11 crianças (7 a 10 anos) e 16 adolescentes (11 a 16 anos) de ambos os sexos, em situação de vulnerabilidade social, e comparado a um grupo controle, formado por 21 crianças, subdivididas em grupos de 10 crianças e 11 adolescentes, pareados por idade, sem queixas. Também se aplicou os PEATE para investigação da integridade da via auditiva. RESULTADOS: Para ambas as faixas etárias, foram encontradas diferenças significantes entre grupos estudo e controle para a maioria dos testes aplicados, sendo que o grupo estudo apresentou desempenho estatisticamente pior do que o controle para todos os testes, exceto para o teste pediatric speech intelligibility. Apenas u...
