“…In turn, in the directed attention step of the first application sequence, a performance equivalence was found, with hit scores varying from 90% to 100% in both ears (Table 1), which agrees with the findings of other studies carried out with the DST that presented slightly inferior results for the left ear relative to the right ear (11,13,14) .…”

“…However, although the asymmetry is expected even for individuals deemed within normality, we highlight that this studied group presented an interaural asymmetry well above the expected for the age range (13) , with it being found that 80% of the individuals showed superior performance for the right ear, with score differences ranging from 10% to 60% between ears, and 20% presented a superior performance for the left ear, varying from -10% to -50% (Table 2), while another study referred as expected, within normality, a difference between ears up to 20%, with the advantage of the right ear (12) . The difference between ears in dichotic listening was also analyzed by researchers who assessed adult individuals with tone thresholds up to 40 dB HL and suggested that this difference cannot exceed 16% (18) .…”

“…In the present study, based on the analysis of the performance of adults with communicative complaints evaluated with the SDT, in application sequence 1, we found that the mean performance in the divided attention stage was 84.67% in the right ear and 60.67% in the left ear (Table 1), which is lower than expected for this age group (13) . The mean value of correct answers found in a study carried out with the same test material (13) , which assessed adults without complaints, were 93.59% in the right ear and 86.06% in the left ear, and it was suggested, as normality by these authors in the RE, values greater or equal to 90% of correct answers and, in the LE, greater or equal to 80% of correct answers.…”

“…Besides the inferior results relative to individuals with no complaints, this sample group presented a more considerable performance variation in the divided attention step, with results ranging from -50% (advantage of the left ear) to 60% (advantage of the right ear), whereas the differences varied from -20% to 30%for the group within normality (13) . During the literary search to compose this work, no studies were found with sample groups constituted of adults in the same age range as this study that could justify these findings, given that the heterogeneous profile and results so inferior to normality draw attention.…”

“…From these findings, it was possible to verify the influence of the communication complaints on the performance of normal-hearing adults assessed through the DST compared to other studies (13,14) developed with normal-hearing adults with no complaints, considering that the complaints were the only diverging aspects between the analyzed groups.…”

Purpose To analyze the performance of normal-hearing adults with communication complaints in the Dichotic Sentences Test. Methods We selected from the database 15 normal-hearing participants with normal results in the Digits Dichotic Test, aged between 19 and 44 years, right-handed, who reported communicative complaints. The Dichotic Sentences Test was applied using two protocols consisting of four different combinations of lists called sequences 1 and 2, in the following order: training, divided attention step, right and left directed attention steps. Results In the first application sequence, the average performance in the divided attention step was 84.7% for the right ear and 60.67% for the left, with statistical difference between ears. The asymmetry between ears varied from -50% to 60%. In the directed attention step, the average performance was 99.33% for the right ear and 98% for the left, with no statistical difference. In the second application sequence, there was a tendency for better results, more pronounced for the left ear, with no statistical significance, with the performance variation and asymmetry between ears remaining high. In the comparison between the sequences, in the divided attention step, it was found that, for the right ear, 40% of the individuals did not vary, 33% performed worse, and 26.7% performed better; for the left ear, 6.6% did not vary, 20% performed worse, and 73.33% performed better. There was result stability in the directed attention step. Conclusion The normal-hearing adults with communication complaints presented a heterogeneous profile, especially in the divided attention step, with a marked difference between ears and response variability.

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar o desempenho de adultos normo-ouvintes com queixa comunicativa no Teste Dicótico de Sentenças. Método Selecionou-se em banco de dados, 15 participantes normo-ouvintes com resultados normais no Teste Dicótico de Dígitos, idades entre 19 a 44 anos, destros, que referiram queixa comunicativa. O Teste de Dicótico de Sentenças foi aplicado por meio de dois protocolos compostos por quatro diferentes combinações de listas denominados de sequências 1 e 2, de acordo com a seguinte ordem: treino, etapa de atenção dividida, etapas de atenção direcionada à direita e à esquerda. Resultados Na sequência de aplicação 1, a média de desempenho na etapa de atenção dividida foi 84,67% na orelha direita e 60,67% na esquerda, com diferença estatística entre orelhas, com assimetria entre orelhas variando de -50% a 60%. Na etapa de atenção direcionada, a média de desempenho foi 99,33% na orelha direita e 98% na esquerda, sem diferença estatística. Na sequência de aplicação 2, houve tendência de melhores resultados, mais acentuada na orelha esquerda, sem significância estatística, mantendo elevadas a variação de desempenho e a assimetria entre orelhas. Verificou-se na comparação entre as sequências, na etapa de atenção dividida, que na orelha direita 40% dos indivíduos não variaram, 33% pioraram, 26,7% melhoraram; na orelha esquerda, 6,6% não variaram, 20% pioraram e 73,33% melhoraram. Na etapa de atenção direcionada houve estabilidade nos resultados. Conclusão Os adultos normo-ouvintes, com queixas comunicativas, apresentaram um perfil heterogêneo, especialmente na etapa de atenção dividida, com acentuada diferença entre as orelhas e variabilidade de respostas.
