- Eficácia do treinamento auditivo utilizando o software Programa de Escuta no Ruído (PER) em escolares com transtorno do processamento auditivo e baixo desempenho escolar(2018) BRASIL, Priscilla Donaire; SCHOCHAT, ElianeABSTRACT Purpose Investigate the efficacy of auditory training in students with auditory processing disorders and poor school performance using the software Programa de Escuta no Ruído (PER), which addresses auditory processing skills, specifically listening in noise. Methods Eighteen children aged 8-10 years, of both genders, participated in this study. All individuals participated in the following stages: pre-intervention assessment, intervention (consisting of placebo training, re-evaluation of auditory processing, and auditory training), and post-intervention assessment, so that the same individual is self-control. Results No statistically significant difference was observed between the pre-intervention assessment and the post-training auditory processing re-evaluation of the placebo, but statistically significant difference was found between the pre- and post-auditory training conditions. Conclusion The present study achieved its general objective. The PER software proved to be effective for the auditory training of students with auditory processing disorders and poor school performance.
- Tradução e adaptação de um software de treinamento da escuta no ruído para o português brasileiro(2018) CALARGA, Karenina Santos; ROCHA-MUNIZ, Caroline; JUTRAS, Benoît; SCHOCHAT, ElianeABSTRACT Purpose To translate and to adapt the software “LEB”, verify its effectiveness and playability in a group of students without hearing and / or learning complaints. Methods (I) Effectiveness was investigated by analyzing the performance of two paired groups before and after training in the compressed speech test. The trained group (TG), composed by 22 students aged 9 to 10 years old, received training with the software and the control group (CG), composed by 20 students of the same age, did not receive any type of stimulation; (II) after the training, the subjects of the TG responded to a qualitative evaluation about the software. Results The commands were understood and executed easily and effectively. The questionnaire revealed that LEB was well accepted and stimulating, providing new learning. The GT presented significant evolutions in comparison to the control group. Conclusions The success in the software’s translation, adaptation and gameplay process is evidenced by the observed changes in the auditory closure ability, suggesting its effectiveness for training speech perception in the noise.
- Auditory Processing Performance of the Middle-Aged and Elderly: Auditory or Cognitive Decline?(2018) MURPHY, Cristina F. B.; RABELO, Camila M.; SILAGI, Marcela L.; MANSUR, Leticia L.; BAMIOU, Doris E.; SCHOCHAT, ElianeBackground: Despite the well-established relationship between aging and auditory processing decline, identifying the extent to which age effect is the main factor on auditory processing performance remains a great challenge due to the co-occurrence of age-related hearing loss and age-related cognitive decline as potential confounding factors. Purpose: To investigate the effects of age-related hearing loss and working memory on the clinical evaluation of auditory processing of middle-aged and elderly. Research Design: Cross-sectional study. Study Sample: A total of 77 adults between 50 and 70 yr of age were invited to participate in the study. Data Collection and Analysis: The participants were recruited from a larger study that focused on the assessment and management of sensory and cognitive skills in elderly participants. Only participants with normal hearing or mild-to-moderate age-related hearing loss, with no evidence of cognitive, psychological, or neurological conditions were included. Speech-in-noise, dichotic digit, and frequency pattern tests were conducted as well as a working memory test. The hearing loss effect was investigated using an audibility index, calculated from the audiometric threshold. The performance on the digit span test was used to investigate working memory effects. Both hearing loss and working memory effects were investigated via correlation and regression analyses, partialling out age effects. The significance level was set at p < 0.05. Results: The results demonstrated that, while hearing loss was associated to the speech-in-noise performance, working memory was associated to the frequency pattern and dichotic digit performances. Regression analyses confirmed the relative contribution of hearing loss to the variance in speech-in-noise and working memory test to the variance in frequency pattern and dichotic digit test performance. Conclusions: The performance decline of the elderly in auditory processing tests may be partially attributable to the working memory performance and, consequently, to the cognitive decline exhibited by this population. Mild-to-moderate hearing loss seems to affect performance on specific auditory processing tasks, such as speech in noise, reinforcing the idea that auditory processing disorder in the elderly might also be associated to auditory peripheral deficits.
- Musical and temporal auditory skills in cochlear implant users after music therapy(2018) LIMA, Janaina Patricio de; LERVOLINO, Sonia Maria Aloes; SCHOCHAT, ElianePurpose: Verify the performance of musical perception and temporal auditory resolution and ordering skills in pre- and post-music therapy patients with cochlear implants (CI). Methods: Study participants were 11 postlingual CI users with mean age of 47.64 years. All individuals underwent 10 weekly music therapy sessions. Auditory assessment was conducted using the Montreal Battery of Evaluation of Amusia (MBEA) and the Frequency Pattern Test (FPT). All participants were submitted to a placebo condition prior to music therapy and were evaluated at three different times. Results: Significant improvement was observed in the subtests of contour and melody memory after music therapy. No placebo effect or difference in the FPT was observed after music therapy. Conclusion: Music therapy is a useful tool to improve musical skills in adult postlingual users of CI.
- Ongoing maturation in the time-compressed speech test(2018) RABELO, Camila Maia; ROCHA-MUNIZ, Caroline Nunes; SCHOCHAT, ElianeOBJECTIVES: To verify the neuromaturational influence in the ability of auditory closure, that is, to verify the performance of children and young adults in the ability of auditory closure, through the time compressed speech test (TCS). METHODS: Thirty children (8 to 10 years old) and 30 young adults (16 to 24 years old) with normal hearing without complaints (neurological, cognitive, auditory processing) who performed TFC (monosyllables and disyllables) with a compression ratio of 60% in both ears. Statistical analysis was performed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and ANOVA with repeated measures with a significance level of 0.05. The minimum statistical power was 80%. RESULTS: In the comparison between ears, there was no significant difference between groups for the monosyllables. For disyllables, the second ear tested was better in children, and the right ear was better than the left ear for young adults. In the comparison between modalities (monosyllables and disyllables), children did not show significant differences. The performance of the young adults was better in the disyllables in both ears. Comparing the age groups, the young adults were better than the children for both modalities and ears. CONCLUSION: The study has demonstrated the influence and impact of age (maturational factor) on TCS test performance, showing the importance of establishing normality patterns for various age groups to provide a standardized tool for evaluation of auditory closure ability.
