“…Apesar do HINT Brasileiro não disponibilizar uma versão do teste para crianças como em outras Línguas (Hearing in Noise Test for Children /HINT-C) (23,24), muitos estudos utilizam o HINT com essa população (6,(25)(26)(27), visto que o material de fala desenvolvido para o teste busca metodologicamente controlar as variáveis que podem influenciar a inteligibilidade de fala para adultos e crianças (11).…”

RESUMO Introdução:A habilidade em compreender a fala é afetada por muitos fatores durante as avaliações, principalmente no ruído, sendo ainda mais complexa para crianças nessas condições. Objetivo:Analisar a percepção da fala em crianças com audição normal em diferentes situações de ruído. Método:Forma 4CXS). Resultados:A análise estatística revelou diferença significativa entre as seguintes situações: RD com RF; RT com RF; sendo pior com 4CXS, onde foi encontrada diferença para RD, RT, RC, RE e RF. Para a análise de correlação com a idade, houve significância entre a idade em função dos valores HINT apenas para o ruído à frente. Conclusão:As diferenças significativas nos resultados de percepção da fala entre as diferentes condições de escuta no ruído na população estudada sugerem cautela na escolha do estímulo em avaliações de percepção da fala no ruído em crianças deficientes auditivas. Assim, pesquisas nessa linha são necessárias para estabelecer os parâmetros e variáveis relacionadas à sua aplicação e a interpretação dos resultados. Palavras-chave: audiologia, ruído, percepção da fala, testes de discriminação da fala. SUMMARY Introduction:The ability to understand a speech is affected for several factors during the evaluation mainly noise, and being more complex for children in these conditions. Objective:To analyse the speech perception in children with normal hearing in different situations of noise. Method:Study's way transversal cut. It was used the Brazilian Hearing in Noise Test(HINT) in 21 children with 7-14 years old with hearing inside the normality patterns and without cognitive alterations. Randomly was applied, sentence lists in the following situations: silent (S), noise in front (FN), noise at right (RN), noise at left (LN) noise at 180 o (TN) and compared the result of compound noise (CN) with diffuse noise from 4 sound fields in 45 o , 135 o , 225 o and 315 o (4CXS). Results:The statistics analyse showed the following situations: RH with FN; TN with FN; being worse with 4CXS, where was found difference for RN, TN, CN, LN and FN. To annalyse the age correlation, there was significance between age in HINT value functions just for noise in front. Conclusion:The significative differences in the speech perception results among the different conditions of hearing in noise in the studied population suggest caution in choosing the stimulus in speech perception evaluation in noise in auditive deficiency children. So, researches in this line are necessary to establish the parameters and variables related to their application and results interpretation.

“…In an ideal room, both systems were similar, and only for the poor environment, the desktop FM system was the most effective one in terms of speech perception due to the proximity of the microphone and the CI Anderson and Goldstein (12) . Participants presented better speech recognition with the three types of amplification system.…”

PURPOSE: This review aimed at presenting the benefits regarding the speech perception in noise shown by children who wear hearing aid devices and/or cochlear implants with the Frequency Modulation (FM) System at school. RESEARCH STRATEGY: A bibliographic survey was conducted in an electronic database with standardized search until the year 2012, and a manual search was performed by using specific keywords. SELECTION CRITERIA: For the selection and evaluation of the scientific studies chosen in the search, criteria were established covering the following aspects: type of study, participants, adopted intervention, and evaluation of results. DATA ANALYSIS: The FM system was verified to improve speech perception and speech threshold in noise in all studies. RESULTS: Regarding the performance as to type, the best results were obtained when children used the personal FM system, followed by the table and the sound field systems. CONCLUSION: After extensive review of national and international literature, it was concluded that the studies indicate the need for further research concerning mainly the impact of the FM system on the school performance of children who have sensory devices coupled to the FM system. Findings in the literature with relation to the publications focused on speech perception in noise did not relate educational and auditory aspects.

“…Although ear-level FM provides the better signal-to-noise ratio as compared with sound-field options, 48 this choice of FM coupling may not always be the most practical based on the needs of the child. As is the case with personal amplification, choices for FM need to be made on an individual basis considering the environment in which the device will be used, age of the child, degree and configuration of hearing loss, and use of a hearing aid.…”

“…Anderson and Goldstein 48 found that classroom amplification systems did not provide benefit beyond that of the children's personal hearing aids. In situations where there is a classroom amplification system in place, a trial with ear-level FM may be recommended.…”

Children with minimal or mild bilateral hearing loss and unilateral hearing loss are at higher risk for academic, speech-language, and social-emotional difficulties than their normal hearing peers. The choice to fit infants with moderate or greater degrees of bilateral hearing loss has been standard practice for most clinicians, but for those with minimal or mild bilateral hearing loss or unilateral hearing loss, the fitting of hearing technology must be based on limited data. Evidence does not yet exist to support all the management decisions that an audiologist must make upon identifying an infant with minimal or mild bilateral hearing loss or unilateral hearing loss. It is not yet known which children are at the greatest risk for educational problems nor is it known if the provision of early amplification in this population will help a child avoid later difficulties. Some of these considerations and current hearing technology options for children with minimal or mild bilateral hearing loss or unilateral hearing loss are reviewed in this article.
