Abstract: OBJETIVO: Avaliar o processamento auditivo em idosos por meio do teste de resolução temporal Gaps in Noise e verificar se a presença de perda auditiva influencia no desempenho nesse teste. MÉTODOS: Sessenta e cinco ouvintes idosos, entre 60 e 79 anos, foram avaliados por meio do teste Gaps In Noise. Para seleção da amostra foram realizados: anamnese, mini-exame do estado mental e avaliação audiológica básica. Os participantes foram alocados e estudados em um grupo único e posteriormente divididos em três grupo… Show more

“…Because temporal resolution is closely related to speech intelligibility (5,6) , which is a complex acoustic signal that is rich in both spectral and temporal characteristics (7,8) , and because hearing-impaired individuals may complain of not being able to understand speech (9) , we may hypothesize that temporal resolution is impaired in auditory deficiency. In a recent investigation (10) , this ability was demonstrated to be influenced by sensorineural hearing loss. However, a question arose in that study as to whether the influence was due to hearing loss or to aging, as there was a significant difference in the age of each group, which indicated the necessity of conducting similar research on cochlear hearing loss in a younger group.…”

“…A research performed to evaluate the speech recognition in noise between adults and elderly people without hearing loss demonstrated that the elderly people required more auditory cognitive and processing resources to understand speech in noise 32 . The preference and the benefit reported with one or two hearing aids are not related to the level of technology of the hearing aids [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] . Neither the age is limit factor to obtain benefits with digital technology 33 .…”

“…The auditory processing is related not only to hearing, but also to understanding what is heard. It is necessary the integrity of the auditory and central nervous systems, to process the information, to analyze the characteristics of the auditory stimuli and to interpret them 14,15 . In the 90s, Jerger described a phenomenon called binaural interference, condition in which the performance with two hearing aids is more damaged than the performance with just one.…”
