Introduction: Otitis media is a prevalent disease that can cause harmful effects in children development as auditory processing disorder. The questionnaires are tools that can show behavioral changes resulting from auditory training programs.

Objective: To analyze the effect of auditory training in children with a history of otitis media considering auditory processing behavioral tests and the responses of the Scale of Auditory Behaviors questionnaire.

Methods: 16 children with history of otitis media (8-14 years) with normal hearing (<20dBHL for 250-8000Hz, tympanogram type A). The auditory processing was assessed by following tests: Dichotic Digits, Pitch Pattern Sequence - Humming and Verbal, Gaps in Noise and Synthetic Sentence Identification with Ipsilateral Competing. Besides that, it was performed The Scale of Auditory Behaviors questionnaire in pre and post auditory training conditions.

Results: Comparing the pre and post intervention results, we observed statistically significant values for the tests: Dichotic Digits [RE: 0.007 - LE: 0.004], Pitch Pattern Sequence â?" 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]. The questionnaire presented p-value <0.05 for questions related with hearing in noise (p = 0.001), hearing floating (p = 0.002), distraction (p = 0.049), short attention span (p = 0.011), inattention (p = 0.026) and final score (p = 0.003).

Conclusions: The results suggest that Scale of Auditory Behaviors questionnaire is an accurate tool for monitoring the rehabilitation of the central auditory system.
