Avaliação do processamento auditivo em idosos que relatam ouvir bem

Abstract: In the elderly, the results of central auditory pathways behavioral assessments are considered to be difficult to read because of the possible interference of peripheral auditory pathway involvement. Aim: Assess the efficacy of the central auditory function in elderly patients who do not complain of hearing. Materials and Methods: Case study involving 40 individuals within the age range of 60 to 75 years. The patients underwent auditory processing evaluation based on anamnesis, otorhinolaryngological exam, thr… Show more

“…Nonetheless, for individuals analyzed have satisfactory performance, which justifies their lack of hearing complaints. We used as normality criteria for the hearing processing tests, the patterns described in the literature 13,17 for adults, in other words, Speech under Noise tests must have correct answer indexes above 70% and SSW with indexes higher than or equal to 90% in all test conditions. The descriptive comparison between genders for the Speech under Noise and SSW tests, with the ears grouped is presented on Table 3.…”

“…Sanchez et al (2008), studied 40 elderly individuals and found only 20% of them with thresholds within normal parameters for all the frequencies 13 . Pinheiro and Pereira (2004), in a population of 110 elderly, found 91 (83%) individuals with hearing loss 10 .…”

“…Tendo em vista que o envelhecimento tem como consequência o declínio nas habilidades de processamento temporal dos sons, dentre elas a ordenação temporal auditiva, é de suma importância avaliar essas habilidades 3 . Uma vez que a informação auditiva é influenciada pelo modo como ocorrem em um intervalo de tempo, perceber pequenos intervalos entre dois sons é fundamental para identificar qual som foi precedido do outro, e assim compreender a informação recebida 27,28,29 .…”

“…Para esta população, compreender a fala em ambientes de escuta difícil é uma tarefa complexa. Esta dificuldade não pode ser estimada apenas pelo tipo e grau da perda auditiva, uma vez que idosos com pouca dificuldade para detectar sons de baixa intensidade podem referir não entender bem em ambientes com ruído competitivo 2,3 . Dessa forma, essa queixa pode ser justificada por outros motivos, tais como déficits no processamento cognitivo que ocorrem com o avanço da idade 4 , que diminuem a sincronia neural e o processamento temporal dos sons 5 .…”
