Abstract:

Introduction: There are different types of instruments that assist in the monitoring of auditory training programs. Questionnaires are an important monitoring tool in this process.

Objective: To compare the scores of Scale of Auditory Behaviors questionnaire and responses of auditory processing tests in pre and post auditory and visual training.

Method: 30 children aged from 8 to 14 years, underwent a bilateral myringotomy in the first five years of age, they were evaluated and divided into two groups: auditory training (Group 1) and visual training (Group 2). Both groups had air conduction threshold below 20 dBHL for octaves from 250 to 8000 Hz, 'A' type tympanogram with presence of ipsi and contralateral acoustic reflexes bilaterally.

Results: We observed a significant statistically difference in Group 1 results for Dichotic Digits [RE: 0.007 - LE: 0.004], Pitch Pattern Sequence - Humming [RE: 0.002 - LE: 0.001] and Verbal [RE: 0.000 - LE: 0.000], Gaps in Noise [RE: 0.001 - LE: 0.001], Synthetic Sentence Identification with Ipsilateral Competing [RE: 0.004 - LE: 0.001] and total questionnaire score (p=0.003). No significant statistically difference were found comparing pre and post visual training results considering the performance of the children in the behavioral tests and in the Scale of Auditory Behaviors questionnaire.

Conclusion: The analysis of the results showed that Scale of Auditory Behaviors questionnaire is an accurate tool for monitoring the rehabilitation of the central auditory system for and auditory and visual stimulation.
