Perception of parents about the auditory attention skills of his kid with cleft lip and palate: retrospective study

Abstract

Summary Introduction:?To process and decode the acoustic stimulation are necessary cognitive and neurophysiological mechanisms. The hearing stimulation is influenced by cognitive factor from the highest levels, such as the memory, attention and learning. The sensory deprivation caused by hearing loss from the conductive type, frequently in population with cleft lip and palate, can affect many cognitive functions ? among them the attention, besides harm the school performance, linguistic and interpersonal. Objective:?Verify the perception of the parents of children with cleft lip and palate about the hearing attention of their kids. Method:?Retrospective study of infants with any type of cleft lip and palate, without any genetic syndrome associate which parents answered a relevant questionnaire about the auditory attention skills. Results:?44 are from the male kind and 26 from the female kind, 35,71% of the answers were affirmative for the hearing loss and 71,43% to otologic infections. Conclusion:?Most of the interviewed parents pointed at least one of the behaviors related to attention contained in the questionnaire, indicating that the presence of cleft lip and palate can be related to difficulties in hearing attention.

Questionnaires and checklists for central auditory processing screening used in Brazil: a systematic review

“…Finally, informal searches were carried out in Google Scholar and the bibliographic references of the studies collected for this review. Therefore, four articles 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 and three abstracts 34 , 41 , 42 were found, which had been published in Congress Annals that assessed the present theme. It was necessary to contact the authors to have access to the studies not available as full-texts.…”

“…In total, seven articles were selected for this systematic review, as shown in Table 1 . Of these, three questionnaires were informally created by the studies’ authors 36 , 37 , 38 ; two were translated and adapted from the international literature 1 , 43 (SAB and CHAPS); one was translated only 35 ; (QFISHER); and, finally, the other was translated, adapted and validated 44 (APDQ). No original Brazilian studies that proposed to elaborate, adapt and validate tools to screen for CAP were identified.…”

“…The use of such tools has been discussed in the international literature for many years, and there have been divergences regarding their relevance and clinical applicability. 11 , 25 , 26 , 27 However, in the Brazilian literature, there is no published evidence on which tools are available for the Portuguese language and have been used in research, 1 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 nor is there information regarding the degrees of sensitivity, specificity and the auditory abilities focused by each one.…”

Regarding the audiological changes, there is dysfunction in the Eustachian tube, presence of otitis media, conductive and bilateral hearing loss, 11 12 13 as well as changes in auditory processing.…”
