Abstract
ABSTRACT Purpose: to identify the Scale of Auditory Behaviors perception after an acoustically controlled auditory training program. Methods: 23 individuals of both genders, aged 6 to 15 years, participated in this study. Inclusion criteria: to present auditory thresholds lower than 20 dBHL between 250 and 8000Hz, type A tympanometry and diagnosis of central auditory processing disorder confirmed by behavioral tests with indication of acoustically controlled auditory training which was performed in ten one-hour sessions. Hearing tests in progressively adverse listening conditions were used. In the first and last session of the acoustically controlled auditory training program, the individuals were submitted to the Scale of Auditory Behaviors. The appropriate statistical tests were applied considering a p-value less than 0.05. Results: questions Q1, Q2, Q4, Q7, Q8 and Q11 showed statistically significant results and improvement in behaviors after the acoustically controlled auditory training. On the other hand, questions Q3 and Q10 showed a tendency towards significance and the total score in the post time period increased in relation to the pre-moment, pointing to a statistically significant difference that represents complaint reductions. Conclusion: the subjective perception of the individuals and their family members could be identified by the application of SAB in the pre and post auditory training, revealing an improvement in auditory and attention behaviors.
Highlights
Central auditory processing (CAP) deals with the efficiency and effectiveness of the central nervous system related to the information received via the sense of hearing
There is a possibility of central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), which can result in changes in communication and /or learning[1,2,3].Characteristic behaviors of individuals with CAPD are alterations in oral communication or in the use of grammatical rules, as inversions of graphemes, changes in the notion of laterality, agitation, hyperactivity or apathy, impaired auditory memory and difficulty in understanding the acoustic message in noisy environments
Considering the patients and their families’ point of view are extremely important in the rehabilitation process the aim of this study is to identify the subjective perception of individuals and their families after an acoustically controlled auditory training (ACAT), using the Scale of Auditory Behaviors (SAB)
Summary
Central auditory processing (CAP) deals with the efficiency and effectiveness of the central nervous system related to the information received via the sense of hearing. There are several approaches for the treatment of CAPD, with the majority of programs including acoustically controlled auditory training (ACAT) and improved access to the acoustic signal. It includes the use of language, cognitive and metacognitive strategies, facilitating plasticity and cortical reorganization[1,2,3]. It must remain interesting enough to maintain the patient’s motivation, avoidingfrustration[4]
