“…In another study 33 , the authors found results from the temporal resolution test suggesting temporal processing alterations in 7 of the 10 children with palatine fissure with a past of otitis media. In contrast to that, scholars 34 did not find in their studies evidence enough to suggest that otitis media with effusion affects temporal resolution, even after hearing having returned to normal.…”

Many children with auditory processing disorders have a high prevalence of otitis media, a middle ear alterations greatly prevalent in children with palatine and lip clefts. Aim: to check the performance of children with palate cleft alone (PC) in auditory processing tests. Prospective study. Materials and Methods: twenty children (7 to 11 years) with CP were submitted to sound location tests (SL), memory for verbal sounds (MSSV) and non verbal sounds in sequence (MSSNV), Revised auditory fusion (AFT-R), Pediatric test of speech intelligibility/synthetic sentences (PSI/SSI), alternate disyllables (SSW) and digit dichotic (DD). The children performances in the tests were classified in bad and good. Results: there was no statistically significant difference between genders and ears. The average values obtained were 2.16, 2.42, 4.37, 60.50ms; 40.71 to 67.33%; 96.25 to 99.38%; 73.55 to 73.88% and 58.38 to 65.47% respectively for the MSSNV, MSSV, LS, AFT-R, PSI/SSI tests with ipsilateral (PSI/SSIMCI) and contralateral (PSI/SSI/MCC) competitive message, DD and SSW tests. Conclusion: a high percentage of children showed worse results in the AFT-R, DD, SSW tests and in the PSI/SSIMCI tests. The best performances happened in the sound location tests, verbal and non-verbal sounds for sequential memory and for PSI/SSIMCC tests.

“…The effects of recurrent OME (ROME) on hearing acuity in the short and long terms are well documented (6,7) . However, results on the auditory central nervous system (ANCS), despite the vast amount of information available, are controversial (2,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) . Studies focus on the premise of interdependence between episodes of OME and the change in tone thresholds, called fluctuating conductive hearing loss, because 80% children diagnosed with OME exhibit this kind of loss that acts as a sensory deprivation (8,15) .…”

“…The conflicting results on the effects of ROME on the ANCS can be observed and are well documented in studies (3,10,15) , which raise different hypotheses for the diversity of results reported, such as the use of different methods, prospective versus retrospective, as well the manner of investigation of ROME episodes and questionnaires applied to parents versus monitoring of the middle ear function (tympanometry, otoscopy, pneumatic otoscopy, and presence of conductive hearing loss).…”

“…Speech recognition in monotonic, low redundancy condition is commonly used, and the speech-in-noise test is the most studied (7,11,12,14) . However, temporal processing is also often chosen, represented by resolution abilities (2,10,16) as well as binaural interaction (7,8) . Regarding age, there is a difficulty in interpreting the results of behavioral tests of auditory processing in children younger than 7, due of the aspect of the maturation phase of the ANCS and the demand for resources needed for the children to perform the tests (19) .…”

“…Regarding age, there is a difficulty in interpreting the results of behavioral tests of auditory processing in children younger than 7, due of the aspect of the maturation phase of the ANCS and the demand for resources needed for the children to perform the tests (19) . One has to consider that many studies selected the age range between 5 and 6 years for the investigation of auditory abilities (2,8,10,12) . Considering the data presented above, this study aimed to assess the temporal auditory ordering and resolution abilities in children with and without a history of early OME and ROME, as well as to study the responses according to age.…”

PURPOSE: To study the temporal auditory ordering and resolution abilities in children with and without a history of early OME and ROME, as well as to study the responses according to age. METHODS: A total of 59 children were evaluated, and all of them presented pure tone thresholds within the normal range at the time of the conduction of the hearing tests. The children were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of episodes of recurrent otitis media. Then, each group was divided into two subgroups according to age: 7- and 8-year olds, and 9- and 10-year olds. All children were assessed with standard tests of temporal frequency (ordination) and gaps-in-noise (resolution). RESULTS: For the temporal abilities studied, children with a history of otitis media presented significantly lower results compared to the control group. In the frequency pattern test, the correct answers increased with age in both groups. In the identification of silence intervals, the control group showed no change in threshold regarding to age, but this change was present in the group with a history of otitis media. CONCLUSION: Episodes of otitis media with effusion in the first year of life, recurrent and persistent in preschool and school ages, negatively influence the temporal ordering and resolution abilities.

Variability in auditory processing performance is associated with reading difficulties rather than with history of otitis media

The nature and cause of auditory processing deficits in dyslexic individuals have been debated for decades. Auditory processing deficits were argued to be the first step in a causal chain of difficulties, leading to difficulties in speech perception and thereby phonological processing and literacy difficulties. More recently, it has been argued that auditory processing difficulties may not be causally related to language and literacy difficulties. This study compares two groups who have phonological processing impairments for different reasons: dyslexia and a history of otitis media (OM). We compared their discrimination thresholds and response variability to chronological age‐ and reading age‐matched controls, across three auditory processing tasks: frequency discrimination, rise‐time discrimination and speech perception. Dyslexic children showed raised frequency discrimination thresholds in comparison with age‐matched controls but did not differ from reading age‐matched controls or individuals with a history of OM. There were no group differences on speech perception or rise‐time tasks. For the dyslexic children, there was an association between phonological awareness and frequency discrimination response variability, but no association with thresholds. These findings are not consistent with a ‘causal chain’ explanation but could be accounted for within a multiple deficits view of literacy difficulties.
