Introdução: Durante a aquisição fonológica, existem variáveis linguísticas e extralinguísticas que podem influenciar na aquisição dos fonemas. Este estudo tem como alvo o /R/ produzido em cidades de diferentes regiões do Rio Grande do Sul. Objetivo: investigar se as variáveis linguísticas e a variável extralinguística sexo interferem na aquisição do /R/ em Santa Maria e em Crissiumal. Métodos: A pesquisa contou com 914 itens lexicais de 136 sujeitos, entre 1:6 e 4:2, com desenvolvimento fonológico típico, monolíngues, falantes do Português Brasileiro. Foi investigado o papel das variáveis linguísticas tonicidade, número de sílabas, contexto fonológico precedente e seguinte e posição na palavra, e da variável extralinguística sexo na aquisição do /R/ em onset simples. A análise estatística foi realizada por meio do Pacote Computacional VARBRUL. Resultados: A partir da análise estatística dos dados coletados, em Santa Maria, as variáveis linguísticas contexto seguinte e número de sílabas, e a variável extralinguística sexo foram estatisticamente significantes na produção do /R/. Em Crissiumal, além do contexto seguinte, a variável tonicidade foi considerada significante estatisticamente. Conclusão: Apesar de a variável contexto seguinte ter sido significante nos dois municípios, com base nos resultados obtidos, verificou-se que a maioria das variáveis linguísticas e extralinguística consideradas interferem de forma distinta na aquisição do r-forte quando este é produzido como fricativa velar/glotal (em Santa Maria) ou vibrante simples e múltipla (em Crissiumal).

“…Only the experienced and new users filled out the Client Oriented Scale of Improvement (COSI) ( Dillon et al, 1997 ; Emerson and Job, 2014 ) before and after the auditory program. This is a measure of HA benefit that helps patients determine listening situations where improved hearing ability is needed.…”

Auditory Perceptual Exercises in Adults Adapting to the Use of Hearing Aids

Older adults with age-related hearing loss often use hearing aids (HAs) to compensate. However, certain challenges in speech perception, especially in noise still exist, despite today’s HA technology. The current study presents an evaluation of a home-based auditory exercises program that can be used during the adaptation process for HA use. The home-based program was developed at a time when telemedicine became prominent in part due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The study included 53 older adults with age-related symmetrical sensorineural hearing loss. They were divided into three groups depending on their experience using HAs. Group 1: Experienced users (participants who used bilateral HAs for at least 2 years). Group 2: New users (participants who were fitted with bilateral HAs for the first time). Group 3: Non-users. These three groups underwent auditory exercises for 3 weeks. The auditory tasks included auditory detection, auditory discrimination, and auditory identification, as well as comprehension with basic (syllables) and more complex (sentences) stimuli, presented in quiet and in noisy listening conditions. All participants completed self-assessment questionnaires before and after the auditory exercises program and underwent a cognitive test at the end. Self-assessed improvements in hearing ability were observed across the HA users groups, with significant changes described by new users. Overall, speech perception in noise was poorer than in quiet. Speech perception accuracy was poorer in the non-users group compared to the users in all tasks. In sessions where stimuli were presented in quiet, similar performance was observed among new and experienced uses. New users performed significantly better than non-users in all speech in noise tasks; however, compared to the experienced users, performance differences depended on task difficulty. The findings indicate that HA users, even new users, had better perceptual performance than their peers who did not receive hearing aids.

“…The COSI is said to be an indicator of the relative and absolute ease of communication with a new HA (Dillon et al, 1997) and how well it satisfies a listener's real-life concerns (Cox, 2005). COSI results have correlated well with a global measure of HA benefit/ satisfaction (Dillon et al, 1997) and have supported findings of a commonality between benefit and satisfaction specifically for HA users with moderately severe to severe hearing loss (Emerson and Job, 2014).…”

Patterns of Aided Loudness Growth in Experienced Adult Listeners with Early-Onset Severe–Profound Hearing Loss

The variety of aided loudness growth patterns identified reflects the diversity known to characterize individuals with early-onset S/PHL. Loudness rating at the validation stage of HA fit with these listeners is likely to reveal nonnormal loudness, signaling need for further HA adjustment. High satisfaction, however, despite nonnormal loudness growth, suggests that listeners with poor auditory speech recognition may benefit more from aided loudness that supports pattern perception (via the time-intensity waveform of speech), different from most current-day prescription fits.
