“…The Brazilian Portuguese Sentence List Test (SLP-BR) has been widely used in research and in clinical practice, with different assessment goals and in diverse populatio ns (14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24) . Thus, the objective of developing a dichotic version of SLP-BR was to create a material that enabled research on the ability of figure-ground discrimination for verbal stimuli, through the task of binaural integration and separation, using sentences that represent conditions of everyday communication (24) .…”

“…Thus, the objective of developing a dichotic version of SLP-BR was to create a material that enabled research on the ability of figure-ground discrimination for verbal stimuli, through the task of binaural integration and separation, using sentences that represent conditions of everyday communication (24) . The analysis of the findings during the development of this material shows, in Chart 2, that the shortest sentence lasted 1.116 seconds ("You have to wait in line") and belonged to list 1B, while the longest sentence lasted 1.845 seconds ("I left the sheets on the table") and belonged to list 7B.…”

Purpose: To develop Brazilian Portuguese Dichotic Sentence List Test, check its applicability and propose an application protocol for auditory processing assessment. Methods: The lists of sentences were taken from the original material, analyzed in detailed and adapted to form the new test. To compose pairs of sentences with as much of the same duration as possible, the duration of each sentence was statistically analyzed within the same list and among lists. The lists were combined in increasing order of length, within each list; and combinations of the lists were formed according to the length of sentences, resulting in 42 different sets of lists. Then, the test was performed with 42 normal hearing individuals. Individuals were instructed on how to answer: initially, they should repeat the sentences presented to both ears (attention divided between the right and the left ears). Then, the steps for the right ear phrases (attention directed to the right ear), and finally for the left ear (attention directed to the left ear) were performed. Results: The new material was composed as follows: track 1, pure tone calibration; track 2, modified 1A list; and tracks 3 to 44, the 42 possible combinations among the lists. After the test was applied, an application protocol was suggested. Conclusion: The Brazilian Portuguese Dichotic Sentence List Test was developed and proved to be an instrument that can be used in adults. Therefore, a protocol was proposed with two different combinations of lists and presentation sequence for auditory processing assessment.Keywords: Hearing; Speech discrimination tests; Auditory perception; Audiology; Hearing Tests RESUMO Objetivo: Desenvolver o teste Listas de Sentenças Dicóticas em Português Brasileiro, verificar sua aplicabilidade e propor um protocolo de aplicação para avaliação do processamento auditivo. Métodos: As listas de frases foram extraídas do material original, submetidas a uma análise criteriosa e ao processo de adaptação, para compor o novo teste. Para formar pares de frases com duração mais aproximada possível, foi analisado estatisticamente o tempo de duração de cada sentença, dentro de uma mesma lista e entre listas. Estas foram combinadas em ordem crescente de duração, dentro de cada lista, e realizadas as combinações das listas entre si, de acordo com a duração das sentenças, gerando 42 conjuntos distintos de listas. Em seguida, o teste foi aplicado em 42 indivíduos normo-ouvintes. Os indivíduos foram instruídos sobre a forma de resposta, devendo repetir, inicialmente, as sentenças de ambas as orelhas (atenção dividida entre orelha direita e esquerda), em seguida, as frases da orelha direita (atenção direcionada para a orelha direita) e, finalmente, as da orelha esquerda (atenção direcionada para a orelha esquerda). Resultados: O novo material ficou composto da seguinte forma: faixa 1, tom puro de calibração; faixa 2, lista 1A modificada e faixas 3 a 44, as 42 possibilidades de combinação entre as listas. Após a realização do teste, foi sugerido um protocolo ...

Hearing loss can be caused by a number of different pathological conditions. Some of them can be successfully treated, mainly by surgery, depending on the individual's disease process. However, the treatment of chronic sensorineural hearing loss with damaged cochlear structures usually needs hearing rehabilitation by means of technical amplification. During the last 2 decades tremendous improvements in hearing aid technology led to a higher quality in the hearing rehabilitation process. For example, due to sophisticated signal processing the acoustic feedback path could be reduced and hence open fitting options are available for even more subjects. In particular for high-frequency hearing loss the use of open fitting is an option. Both the users' acceptance and the perceived sound quality were significantly increased by open fittings.However, we are still faced with a low level of readiness in many hearing impaired subjects to accept acoustic amplification. Since ENT specialists play a key-role in hearing aid provision, they should promote early hearing aid rehabilitation and include this in the counselling even in subjects with mild and moderate hearing loss. Recent investigations demonstrated the benefit of early hearing aid use in this group of patients since this may help to reduce subsequent damages as auditory deprivation, social isolation, development of dementia, and cognitive decline. For subjects with tinnitus, hearing aids may also support masking by environmental sounds and enhance cortical inhibition.The present paper describes the latest development of hearing aid technology and the current state of the art for amplification modalities. Implications for both hearing aid indication and provision are discussed.
