Purpose: detecting the sensitivity to evaluate the temporal resolution ability, by comparing Randon Gap Detection Test (RGDT) and Gaps-In-Noise (GIN) tests, in addition to suggesting reference values in these tests for elderly people. Methods: 38 elderly people, 24 women and 14 men, aged between 60 and 82 years, with normal hearing or sensorineural to moderate hearing loss; with symmetry between the ears; Type A tympanogram, acoustic reflex, with auditory processing complaints. All patients underwent basic evaluations to characterize the peripheral hearing -RGDT and GIN. Results: the sensitivity found for RGDT regarding the identification of the temporal resolution ability was 88.64% and 67.65% in GIN.
Introduction Mismatch negativity (MMN) is a promising instrument for the investigation of different auditory disorders, as it does not need behavioral responses. Objective To analyze the influence of the ear, gender and age variables in the MMN in children with typical development; and to compare the different measures of this potential, using verbal and nonverbal stimuli in the sample studied, providing reference values. Methods Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study, with 23 children, aged from 5 to 11 years and 11 months old, divided by age group. Mismatch negativity was performed using verbal and nonverbal stimuli, and the data was analyzed by means of the statistical Student t-test. Results No significant differences were noted for the ear, gender and age variables in the MMN with both stimuli. There were significant differences for the latency, duration and area variables when the stimuli were compared. The reference values established for nonverbal stimuli were: latency 249.8 milliseconds, amplitude 2.28 µv, duration 82.97 milliseconds, and area 137.3 microvolt x microseconds (μVx μs); as for the verbal stimuli, they were: latency 265.3 milliseconds, amplitude - 2.82 µv, duration 110.5 milliseconds, and area 225.5 microvolt x microseconds (μVx μs). Conclusion The variables studied did not influence the recordings of the MMN. Latency, duration and area of the MMN with verbal stimuli were higher. It was possible to furnish reference values for children with typical development in the age group studied.
Introdução: O Potencial Evocado Auditivo de Longa Latência é utilizado para avaliar o processamento cortical da informação acústica. Objetivo: Descrever e comparar os valores de latência e amplitude do Potencial Evocado Auditivo de Longa Latência em crianças. Além disso, fornecer valores de referência. Material e Método: Estudo transversal e quantitativo, no qual foram avaliados 20 indivíduos com idade entre 5 e 9 anos e 11 meses, com desenvolvimento típico. Realizou-se tal potencial auditivo, com o equipamento Smart EP (Intelligent Hearing Systems), com estímulos verbais utilizando fones de inserção. Teste de Wilcoxon e teste de Mann-Whitney foram utilizados. Resultados: Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante em relação aos valores de latência e amplitude dos componentes deste potencial, considerando as variáveis orelha e gênero. Forneceram-se os valores de referência para latência e amplitude dos componentes deste potencial. Conclusão: A partir deste estudo foi possível propor valores de referência para os componentes deste potencial para a amostra estudada, considerando que não houve diferença estatisticamente significante para as variáveis estudadas.
Objective: to analyze the influence of different combinations of verbal stimuli on the responses of the cognitive auditory evoked potential of children with speech sound disorders and to compare the P300 responses, considering the combinations of stimuli in the different severity of speech sound disorders. Methods: nineteen children in the mean age of 6.75 years old, of both sexes, diagnosed with speech sound disorder, participated in the study. All participants were submitted to the cognitive auditory evoked potential-P300 test, performed with two combinations of verbal stimuli (BA/DI and BA/GA). For statistical analysis it was used the Student T-test. Results: a statistically significant difference was observed for the latency values (p=<0.001*) and for the amplitude values (p=<0.001*) between the two combinations of stimuli. Also, statistically significant difference was observed between the combinations evaluated in the different severity of the speech sound disorder. Conclusion: the combination of stimuli /BA/ x /DI/ demonstrated lower latency and higher amplitude values in the Cognitive Evoked Potential assessment in children presented with speech sound disorder.
