“…This result was also lower compared with studies with Brazilian children. [5][6][7][8][9]14,15 Lima et al 16 found values between 0.86 (SD ¼ 1.18) and 0.46 (SD ¼ 0.74), agreeing with the lowest values in the decrease in vigilance observed in the present study. This result demonstrates that adults have greater control over attention span and achieve a better sustained hearing attention maintenance compared with children.…”

“…These findings reinforce the importance of testing this population to verify the performance parameters of adults. A study 16 using the SAAAT, conducted on adults with and without tinnitus, found better performance in both the study group (tinnitus) and the control group (without tinnitus), as shown by the lower total error score and decreased vigilance in adults compared with children. [5][6][7][8][9]14,15 Roebuck et al 18 conducted a study to verify the influence of stimulus type (verbal and nonverbal) on continuous performance tasks in 31 children (aged 8 to 12 years old) and in 32 adults (aged 18 to 50 years old).…”

“…2,6 These results were lower when compared with studies with Brazilian children. [5][6][7][8][9]14,15 A study that applied the SAAAT in adults 16 found mean values of total error scores ranging from 1.00 (SD ¼ 1.30) to 3.26 (SD ¼ 5.86). These values were closer to those found in the present study compared with studies with children.…”

Introduction The Sustained Auditory Attention Ability Test (SAAAT) is an instrument used to assess sustained auditory attention in children. Difficulties related to this ability are not unique to children alone, as adults have been observed to present with the same deficits. Therefore, there is a need to adapt instruments like the SAAAT and provide reference values for adults. Objective To assess adult performance on the SAAAT. Methods Approved by the Human Research Ethics Committee under n° 034/2011. The sample consisted of 30 participants aged between 18 and 30 years old (average age = 24.2 years old), female and male. The inclusion criteria were: peripheral hearing within normal limits, type A tympanometric curve, and no attention-related complaints. The participants were submitted to Tonal Audiometry, Logoaudiometry, Immitanciometry and to the SAAAT. Results The following mean values and standard deviations (SD) were observed: inattention = 1.7 (SD = 2.2) and impulsivity = 0.8 (SD = 0.9) error types. For the SAAAT, the mean value for the total error score was 2.4 (SD = 2.6), and for the decrease in vigilance, it was 0.3 (SD = 0.5). When comparing the performance of adults and children, a statistically significant difference was observed for inattention (p = 0.000) and impulsivity (p = 0.001) error types, as well as in the total error score (p = 0.000) and in decreased vigilance (p = 0.0003). Conclusion The performance of adults in the SAAAT differed from the children's parameters, since adults showed lower scores in all variables of the instrument.

“…Although most studies reported that LLAEPs tend to change in tinnitus subjects with normal hearing, there is a controversy in the altered components reported. 11 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 Other diagnostic tool which evaluate attention dysfunction in subjects with tinnitus is the free recall form of the Dichotic Digit Test (DDT). DDT is easy to perform and can be used as a reliable tool in individuals with normal hearing and those with hearing loss for assessment of selective attention.…”

“…In general, the presence of cognitive changes in subjects with tinnitus is controversial. These controversies can be explained by different study designs, 15 , 19 cognitive measures, 20 , 21 and participants' characteristics, 11 , 14 as well as the effect of covariates, such as age, 17 , 19 and the different stimuli used in electrophysiological studies. 22 , 23 …”

Purpose Tinnitus is a condition that causes people to hear sounds without an external source. One significant issue arising from this condition is the difficulty in communicating, especially in the presence of noisy backgrounds. The process of understanding speech in challenging situations requires both cognitive and auditory abilities. Since tinnitus presents unique challenges, it is important to investigate how it affects speech perception in noise. Method In this review, 32 articles were investigated to determine the effect of tinnitus on the effect of speech in noise perception performance. Based on the meta-analysis performed using a random-effects model, meta-regression was used to explore the moderating effects of age and hearing acuity. Results A total of 32 studies were reviewed, and the results of the meta-analysis revealed that tinnitus significantly impacts speech in terms of noise perception performance. Additionally, the regression analysis revealed that age and hearing acuity are not significant predictors of speech in noise perception. Conclusion Our findings suggest that tinnitus affects speech perception in noisy environments due to cognitive impairments and central auditory processing deficits. Hearing loss and aging also contribute to reduced speech in noise performance. Interventions and further research are necessary to address individual challenges associated with continuous subjective tinnitus.
