“…The evaluations were carried out in a soundproof room, with the subjects wearing hearing aids fitted in accordance with the data taken from their individual audiometric tests and positioned one meter away from the sound source placed on 0° azimuth, i.e., in front of the subjects. In order to obtain free field sound pressure levels, measurements were made as per the procedure described in previous studies 17 .…”

“…In addition, the literature report that even normal hearing people complaint about the difficults to understand other inside a noisy enviroment. (27) Hence, communication between family and professionals in the NICU with elevated SPL could be impaired and, as a result, many important information are lose, which might cause conflicts between parents and professionals and also promotes a less humanized environment.…”

Objective: To identify repercussion of noise in the neonatal intensive care unit on mothers, newborns and on interactions of neonates with healthcare professional from the mothers' perspective. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in the neonatal intensive care unit. The study population was composed by 95 mothers. Data were collected using formularies. The statistical analysis was descriptive. Results: Mothers' perception of noise in the unit caused repercussion on neonates such as agitation, cry, irritability among other. Mothers' also reported to have headache, agitation and tendency to cry, which led them to touch less and speak softly with their babies. Conclusion: Repercussions of noise perceived by mothers on themselves and on babies' behavior and physical changes were associated with difficulties of mothers to keep attention and to interact with healthcare professionals. ResumoObjetivo: Identificar as repercussões do ruído da unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal sobre as mães, recém-nascidos e interações com o filho e profissionais de saúde, a partir da percepção materna. Métodos: Estudo descritivo transversal, realizado em unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal. A amostra constitui-se de 95 mães. Um formulário foi utilizado como instrumento de coleta de dados. Para análise dos dados utilizou-se estatística descritiva. Resultados: Na percepção das mães o ruído da unidade traz repercussões sobre o neonato provocando agitação, choro, irritabilidade entre outros; desencadeia-lhe cefaléia, agitação e vontade de chorar, levando-a tocar menos e falar mais baixo com o filho. Referem dificuldade em manter sua atenção durante a interação com o profissional. Conclusão: As repercussões do ruído percebidas pela mãe tanto sobre si como para o seu filho, abrangem alterações comportamentais e físicas; associadas à dificuldade materna de manter a atenção ao interagir com o profissional de saúde.

“…1,2 Thus, it is observed that the basic audiological assessment, which involves obtaining pure tone auditory thresholds and tests with isolated words, does not make it possible to infer the communicative capacity of each individual as monosyllabic words, which are reproduced at uniform levels of presentation and do not suffer the effects of co-articulation, are not representative of the everyday speech to which the patient is exposed in everyday communication situations. 3,4 Thus, the tests chosen by different lists of clinical conditions are of great importance because they allow an analysis of the comprehension of the spoken message in circumstances close to the communication conditions that you encounter in your daily life. 5 To understand the role of cognition in the intelligibility of oral language, one of the pillars of cognition must be considered, the concept of working memory.…”

Introduction In clinical practice, patients with the same degree and configuration of hearing loss, or even with normal audiometric thresholds, present substantially different performances in terms of speech perception. This probably happens because other factors, in addition to auditory sensitivity, interfere with speech perception. Thus, studies are needed to investigate the performance of listeners in unfavorable listening conditions to identify the processes that interfere in the speech perception of these subjects. Objective To verify the influence of age, temporal processing, and working memory on speech recognition in noise. Method Thirty-eight adult and elderly individuals with normal hearing thresholds participated in the study. Participants were divided into two groups: The adult group (G1), composed of 10 individuals aged 21 to 33 years, and the elderly group (G2), with 28 participants aged 60 to 81 years. They underwent audiological assessment with the Portuguese Sentence List Test, Gaps-in-Noise test, Digit Span Memory test, Running Span Task, Corsi Block-Tapping test, and Visual Pattern test. Results The Running Span Task score proved to be a statistically significant predictor of the listening-in-noise variable. This result showed that the difference in performance between groups G1 and G2 in relation to listening in noise is due not only to aging, but also to changes in working memory. Conclusion The study showed that working memory is a predictor of listening performance in noise in individuals with normal hearing, and that this task can provide important information for investigation in individuals who have difficulty hearing in unfavorable environments.
