“…Current studies search for interactive and easily accessible tools as a screening method (7,8) . The challenge is the need for a battery capable of adequately evaluating all the above-mentioned auditory mechanisms involved in CAP (9) , as well as confirmation of its efficacy through comparison with diagnostic tests.…”

RESUMO Objetivo estudar a versão inicial de um novo programa online de triagem do processamento auditivo em escolares: “audBility”. A partir da aplicação em crianças com bom desempenho escolar, a pesquisa teve como objetivo específico analisar o desempenho em cada tarefa, nível de dificuldade por faixa etária, tempo de aplicação, gerenciamento dos dados e propor ajustes e melhorias para a versão final, a qual posteriormente deverá ser validada em pesquisas futuras. Método participaram 43 escolares com idades entre 8 e 11 anos e bom desempenho escolar. O programa avalia as habilidades auditivas de localização sonora, escuta dicótica competitiva (dígitos e dissílabos), integração binaural, figura-fundo, fechamento auditivo, resolução e ordenação temporal, além de um questionário de autopercepção direcionado aos escolares, baseado no instrumento “Scale of Auditory Behaviors .” Resultados o escore médio obtido no questionário foi de 44,75 ± 6,3 pontos. A partir do desempenho em cada atividade, foram realizadas melhorias no teste de fechamento auditivo e temporais; redução e definição do protocolo de pesquisa para adequar o tempo de aplicação. Observou-se a necessidade de dois módulos, divididos para crianças na faixa etária de 6 a 8 anos e de 9 a 12 anos, e o acréscimo de duas versões do questionário, direcionados para os pais e professores. Conclusão o desenvolvimento do audBility é um avanço na área do processamento auditivo e triagem escolar. A validação do audBility está sendo realizada com o aumento da amostra e comparação com a bateria diagnóstica. Os resultados iniciais possibilitaram o desenvolvimento da versão final do protocolo a ser utilizado no estudo de validação.

“…24 Thus, in cases of slow auditory input processing, the information presented at the beginning of the communication cannot be kept in the working memory at the point when the last part of the message is processed and, as a result, the whole message may be “forgotten” or not fully understood. 22 Additionally, this interrelationship has already been described in the literature 8 - 10 , 25 as these are tasks performed by neighboring brain regions. 8 An example of this is the hippocampus in its lower medial portion of the anterior temporal lobe.…”

“…The literature indicates evidence of attention function impairment in individuals with a history of otitis media, 6 , 7 as well as likely associations between working memory and hearing in a noisy environment. 8 - 10 In addition, a study 11 observed that the executive function shares cognitive mechanisms underlying auditory skills.…”

Auditory deprivation associated with early otitis media with effusion has been considered a risk factor for central auditory processing (CAP), as well as for the development of a number of cognitive functions.Objective:To study the neuropsychological functions of attention, working memory and executive function in adolescents with and without non-cholesteatomatous chronic otitis media (NCCOM) and analyze their interrelationships with the behavioral evaluation of CAP.Methods:Sixty-eight adolescents were recruited, 34 were diagnosed with NCCOM (study group - SG), and 34 had no otological history (control group - CG). The Neupsilin Brief Neuropsychological Assessment Instrument was used. CAP was assessed by: Masking Level Difference, Synthetic Sentence Identification, Random Gap Detection Test, Duration Pattern Sequence Test and Dichotic Digits Test.Results:The results of Neupsilin showed lower scores in the study group when compared to the control group on the following tests: digit sequence repetition, ascending digit ordering, auditory sentence span, and phonemic verbal fluency. An association was found between central auditory processing tests and Neupsilin subtests.Conclusion:The effects of NCCOM on attention, memory and executive function related to central auditory processing disorder in adolescents seem to be enhanced by the severity of the disease.

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) are defects of the auditory sense, which result from abnormalities in the functioning of the auditory path at the level of the central nervous system from the center of the Cochlea to the auditory cortex. This is a problem that 2-3% of children, aged 7-14 suffer from in Poland.The aim of this paper is to establish a spectrum of the most common symptoms as well as to determine the most common age range of the children that have been diagnosed.A retrospective analysis was conducted, based on the medical documentation of patients diagnosed and treated in the audiological clinic. The examined group consisted of 215 children ages 6 to 18. The inclusion criteria were as follows: normal peripheral hearing and an IQ indicator of at least 85. Data was analyzed with the use of STATISTICA 9.1 program.The highest number of children were admitted with problems connected to writing (78,15%), reading (69,77%), and concentrating (60,93%). The most common symptomsamong patients who have been diagnosed with APD)were as follows: late speech development (96%), speech defects (91,4%), problems with learning a language (91,67%). The most numerous group represented were patients aged 10 to 12 (40,93%). The accuracy of the initial diagnosis was the highest in the 6 to 7 age group (96,15%).The results of this paper speak for the necessity of increasing APD awareness among people close to a child as the problems that emerge are common and a lot of the diagnoses late.
