    (2018) MATSUMURA, Erika; MATAS, Carla Gentile; MAGLIARO, Fernanda Cristina Leite; PEDRENO, Raquel Meirelles; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; SANCHES, Seisse Gabriela Gandolfi; CARVALLO, Renata Mota Mamede
    Introduction: Obstructive sleep apnea causes changes in normal sleep architecture, fragmenting it chronically with intermittent hypoxia, leading to serious health consequences in the long term. It is believed that the occurrence of respiratory events during sleep, such as apnea and hypopnea, can impair the transmission of nerve impulses along the auditory pathway that are highly dependent on the supply of oxygen. However, this association is not well established in the literature. Objective: To compare the evaluation of peripheral auditory pathway and brainstem among individuals with and without obstructive sleep apnea. Methods: The sample consisted of 38 adult males, mean age of 35.8 (+/- 7.2), divided into four groups matched for age and Body Mass Index. The groups were classified based on polysomnography in: control (n = 10}. mild obstructive sleep apnea (n = 11) moderate obstructive sleep apnea (n=8) and severe obstructive sleep apnea (n = 9}. All study subjects denied a history of risk for hearing loss and underwent audiometry, tympanometry, acoustic reflex and Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response. Statistical analyses were performed using three-factor ANOVA, 2 factor ANOVA, chi-square test, and Fisher's exact test. The significance level for all tests was 5%. Results: There was no difference between the groups for hearing thresholds, tympanometry and evaluated Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response parameters. An association was observed between the presence of obstructive sleep apnea and changes in absolute latency of wave V (p = 0.03). There was an association between moderate obstructive sleep apnea and change of the latency of wave V (p = 0.01). Conclusion: The presence of obstructive sleep apnea is associated with changes in nerve conduction of acoustic stimuli in the auditory pathway in the brainstem. The increase in obstructive sleep apnea severity does not promote worsening of responses assessed by audiometry, tympanometry and Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response.

    Efferent inhibition of otoacoustic emissions in preterm neonates
    (2015) CARVALLO, Renata Mota Mamede; SANCHES, Seisse Gabriela Gandolfi; IBIDI, Silvia Maria; SOARES, Jordana Costa; DURANTE, Alessandra Spada
    Introduction: Abnormalities in auditory function of newborns may occur not only because of preterm birth, but also from the use of medications and from diseases related to prematurity. Objective: To analyze the inhibitory effect from stimulation of the olivocochlear efferent system on transient evoked otoacoustic emissions in preterm neonates, comparing these data with those from full-term neonates. Methods: This was a prospective, cross-sectional, contemporary cohort study with 125 neonates, pooled into two groups: full-term (72 full-term neonates, 36 females and 36 males, born at 37-41 weeks of gestational age); and preterm (53 neonates, 28 males and 25 females, born at <= 36 weeks of gestational age, evaluated at the corrected gestational age of 37-41 weeks). Otoacoustic emissions were recorded using linear and nonlinear click-evoked stimuli, with and without contralateral stimulation. Results: The inhibitory effect of the efferent pathway in otoacoustic emissions was different (p = 0.012) between groups, and a mean reduction of 1.48 dB SPL in full-term births and of 1.02 dB SPL in preterm births was observed for the non-linear click-evoked stimulus. Conclusion: The results suggest a reduced inhibitory effect of the olivocochlear efferent system on otoacoustic emissions in preterm neonates.

    “Benefits of the pedicled osteoplastic flap as a surgical approach of mastoidectomy in cochlear implant surgery”
    (2022) LOPES, P. T.; BENTO, R. F.; GEBRIM, E. M. Mello Santiago; BECK, R. M. de Oliveira; CARVALLO, R. Mota Memede; SANCHES, S. G. Gandolfi; LESSER, J. C. Cisneros
    Objective: To evaluate the esthetic and functional results of an osteoplastic flap for mastoid cavity closure in cochlear implant surgery. Study design: Double-blind, prospective, randomized clinical trial. Setting: tertiary referral center. Intervention(s): On hundred and twenty-six patients were randomized in 2 groups for cochlear implant surgery. Cases (n: 63) underwent simple mastoidectomy using an anteriorly pedicled osteoplastic flap for mastoid closure. In controls (n: 63), a traditional periosteal flap was used. Evaluation with the POSAS questionnaire was performed 1 year after surgery to assess surgical wound esthetics. Sixteen patients from each group had postoperative CT-scans and wideband tympanometry to assess mastoid aeration and middle ear absorbance. Gender and time after surgery were correlated. Main outcome measure(s): Evaluation of the quality of the surgical wound with the application of a questionnaire validated in the medical literature and translated into Portuguese language called POSAS, considering the perception of the blinded patient and doctor regarding the surgical technique proceeded. A lower POSAS score suggests better esthetics of the surgical wound. Secondary outcomes are volumetric measurement of aeration inside mastoid cavity using 3D computer tomography exam, which aims to analyze the influence of fibrocicatricial retraction in the surgical wound into the mastoid and the interference of its aeration volume in the absorption of sound in the middle ear, using the wideband tympanometry exam. Results: The POSAS questionnaire in the Case group showed a lower level of local pain and itchiness, a skin color and thickness more similar to the surrounding skin and less irregularity and stiffness, with no influence from time after surgery and gender compared to the Control group. The median tomographic volume was 6.37 cc in the cases and 4.60 cc in controls. Wideband tympanometry showed general smaller sound absorbance in the Case group results, specially, at 1000 Hz frequency. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed with the osteoplastic flap. Conclusions: This technique is an effective and safe alternative to alleviate common problems of mastoid surgery for cochlear implantation. In addition to esthetic benefits, it has less interference in middle ear physiology of sound absorbance and less fibrous tissue into the mastoid cavity during the follow-up of more than 1 year.

    Middle ear muscle reflex measurement in neonates: Comparison between 1000 Hz and 226 Hz probe tones
    (2015) LYRA-SILVA, Kilza Arruda de; SANCHES, Seisse Gabriela Gandolfi; NEVES-LOBO, Ivone Ferreira; IBIDI, Silvia Maria; CARVALLO, Renata Mota Mamede
    Introduction: Middle ear muscle reflex (MEMR) evaluation assists in diagnosing hearing problems because normal responses depend on preconditions of a healthy auditory system. Studies in neonates recording the acoustic reflex with 226 Hz probes have described high rates of absence. Other studies using a high frequency probe have found higher rates of presence in normal neonates. However, few studies have compared results between low and high frequency probes in the same newborns. Objective: To comparatively assess the ipsilateral acoustic reflex recorded by 226 Hz and 1000 Hz probes in newborns. Method: A total of 77 newborns, with the presence of transient otoacoustic emissions, underwent tympanometry, wideband acoustic immittance, and ipsilateral reflex investigations with 226 Hz and 1000 Hz tone probes. Results: The acoustic reflex was activated at a much lower intensity with all activating stimuli using the 1000 Hz probe compared with the values of the 226 Hz probe. There was a higher incidence of ipsilateral acoustic reflexes recorded by the 1000 Hz tone probe compared to the 226 Hz tone probe. There was no correlation between the acoustic reflex thresholds and otoacoustic emissions. Conclusion: In newborns, the acoustic reflex measurements obtained with the 1000 Hz probe showed advantages over the 226 Hz probe.

    Alteration of distortion product otoacoustic emission input/output functions in subjects with a previous history of middle ear dysfunction
    (2012) CAMPOS, Ualace De P.; SANCHES, Seisse G.; HATZOPOULOS, Stavros; CARVALLO, Renata M. M.; KOCHANEK, Krzysztof; SKARZYNSKI, Henryk
    Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of sub-clinical alterations on the amplitudes and slopes of the DPOAE input-output responses from subjects with previous history of middle ear dysfunction. Material/Methods: The study included 15 subjects with and 15 subjects without a history of otitis media in the last 10 years. All participants were assessed with acoustic immittance, pure-tone audiometry, and DPOAEs. For the later, I/O functions and I/O slopes were estimated at 1501, 2002, 3174, 4004 and 6384Hz. Results: No statistically significant differences were found between the 2 groups in terms of behavioral thresholds. The group with a previous history of middle ear dysfunction presented significantly lower mean DPOAE amplitudes at 2002, 3174 and 4004 Hz. In terms of DPOAE slopes, no statistically significant differences were observed at the tested frequencies, except at 3174 Hz. Conclusions: Middle ear pathologies can produce subclinical alterations that are undetectable with traditional pure-tone audiometry. The data from the present study show that reduced amplitude DPOAEs are associated with a previous history of middle ear complications. The corresponding DPOAE slopes were affected at only 1 tested frequency, suggesting that the cochlear non-linearity is preserved. Considering these results, it remains to be elucidated to what degree the DPOAE amplitude attenuation interferes with higher-order auditory tasks.

    Simetria das medidas timpanométricas e as respostas das emissões otoacústicas transientes em neonatos
    (2014) SILVA, Liliane Aparecida Fagundes; SILVA, Kilza de Arruda Lyra e; SANCHES, Seisse Gabriela Gandolfi; CARVALLO, Renata Mota Mamede de
    OBJETIVO: verificar a ocorrência de simetria maior ou igual à 70%, entre as orelhas, comparando os resultados da timpanometria nas frequências de 226 e 1000Hz com as respostas das emissões otoacústicas em neonatos. MÉTODOS: foram avaliados 39 neonatos, em média com 60 horas de vida, sendo 20 do sexo feminino e 19 do sexo masculino. Cada recém-nascido foi submetido à avaliação timpanométrica com as sondas de 226 e 1000 Hz, e avaliação das emissões otoacústicas transientes em ambas as orelhas. Os resultados foram submetidos a testes estatísticos. RESULTADOS: na análise da amostra pode-se observar ocorrência de simetria <70% nas respostas das emissões otoacústicas em 74,4% do total de neonatos. Por outro lado, na timpanometria, houve uma maior ocorrência de simetria ≥ 70%, tanto para sonda de 226 quanto para 1000Hz (76,9% e 84,6%, respectivamente). No que diz respeito ao gênero e orelha, as diferenças encontradas em cada teste não foram significantes, embora tenha sido observada maior amplitude de respostas de emissões otoacústicas na orelha direita. CONCLUSÃO: os resultados sugerem haver simetria no sistema auditivo em sua porção mais periférica, e início de assimetrias a partir da cóclea.

    (2013) SILVA, Kilza Arruda de Lyra e; UROSAS, Juliana Granja; SANCHES, Seisse Gabriela Gandolfi; CARVALLO, Renata Mota Mamede
    PURPOSE: To characterize the normal values of acoustic energy reflectance obtained with pure-tone stimulation in neonates prior to hospital discharge. METHODS: Seventy-seven infants (37 girls and 40 boys) were evaluated by measuring acoustic reflectance using pure-tone stimuli, transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions, and tympanometric probe frequencies of 226 Hz and 1 kHz. RESULTS: At low frequencies (258-750 Hz), greater energy reflectance was observed, while at medium frequencies (1-3 kHz), greater energy absorption was observed. There was no difference between ears or between genders. CONCLUSION: Normal energy reflectance values were obtained for the studied population. The data indicate a reflectance curve with a distinct configuration for the studied age.

    Influence of obstructive sleep apnea on auditory event-related potentials
    (2022) PEDRENO, Raquel Meirelles; MATSUMURA, Erika; SILVA, Liliane Aparecida Fagundes; SAMELLI, Alessandra Giannella; MAGLIARO, Fernanda Cristina Leite; SANCHES, Seisse Gabriela Gandolfi; LOBO, Ivone Ferreira Neves; LORENZI-FILHO, Geraldo; CARVALLO, Renata Mota Mamede; MATAS, Carla Gentile
    Purpose To evaluate the influence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the P300 response of auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) and to correlate the electrophysiological findings with OSA severity. Methods Patients with no OSA and mild, moderate, and severe OSA according to polysomnography (PSG) with normal hearing and no comorbidities were studied. Individuals with a body mass index (BMI) >= 40 kg/m(2), hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, the use of chronic medications, and a risk of hearing loss were excluded. All patients underwent full PSG and auditory ERP measurement using the oddball paradigm with tone burst and speech stimuli. For P300 analysis (latencies and amplitudes), normal multiple linear regression models were adjusted with the groups (No OSA, Mild OSA, Moderate OSA, Severe OSA), age, BMI, and Epworth score as explanatory variables. Results We studied 54 individuals (47 males) aged 35 +/- 8 years with a BMI of 28.4 +/- 4.3 kg/m(2). Patients were divided according to the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) derived from PSG into no OSA (n = 14), mild (n = 16), moderate (n = 12), and severe OSA (n = 12) groups. Patients with severe OSA presented prolonged P300 latencies with tone burst stimuli compared to patients with no OSA and those with mild and moderate OSA. Conclusion Severe OSA is associated with impairment of the P300 response of auditory ERPs, suggesting a decrease in the processing speed of acoustic information that may be mediated by the level of somnolence.

    The influence of (central) auditory processing disorder on the severity of speech-sound disorders in children
    (2016) VILELA, Nadia; BARROZO, Tatiane Faria; PAGAN-NEVES, Luciana de Oliveira; SANCHES, Seisse Gabriela Gandolfi; WERTZNER, Haydee Fiszbein; CARVALLO, Renata Mota Mamede
    OBJECTIVE: To identify a cutoff value based on the Percentage of Consonants Correct-Revised index that could indicate the likelihood of a child with a speech-sound disorder also having a (central) auditory processing disorder. METHODS: Language, audiological and (central) auditory processing evaluations were administered. The participants were 27 subjects with speech-sound disorders aged 7 to 10 years and 11 months who were divided into two different groups according to their (central) auditory processing evaluation results. RESULTS: When a (central) auditory processing disorder was present in association with a speech disorder, the children tended to have lower scores on phonological assessments. A greater severity of speech disorder was related to a greater probability of the child having a (central) auditory processing disorder. The use of a cutoff value for the Percentage of Consonants Correct-Revised index successfully distinguished between children with and without a (central) auditory processing disorder. CONCLUSIONS : The severity of speech-sound disorder in children was influenced by the presence of (central) auditory processing disorder. The attempt to identify a cutoff value based on a severity index was successful.

    Development of auditory perception in preschool children
    (2020) VILELA, Nadia; SANCHES, Seisse Gabriela Gandolfi; CARVALLO, Renata Mota Mamede
    Objective: The aim of this study was to determine whether the auditory skills presented by five-year-old children can predict their performance in auditory processing (AP) tests at seven years old. Design: Thirty five children were evaluated for AP at two different times. At evaluation 1, the children were between 5 years 2 months and 6 years 1 month of age, and at evaluation 2, they were between 7 years 1 month and 7 years 8 months of age. The interval between the evaluations ranged from 18 to 23 months. After evaluation 2, the 7-year-olds were classified according to their performance on central AP tests. The children were divided into three groups: GI included nine children with at least two AP tests that scored two standard deviations below the mean and the presence of a speech complaint; GII included 18 children with at least two AP tests that scored two standard deviations below the mean and no speech complaints; and GIII included eight children with no more than one test scored two standard deviations below the mean and no speech disorders complaint. The analysis was performed considering each test individually and as a battery of applied tests. From the results obtained, a discriminant analysis was performed to assess the differences in test performance between the groups when the children were 5 years old. Results: The discriminant analysis showed that with the results obtained during evaluation 1, it was possible to predict which group 74.3% of the children would be classified into after evaluation 2. The percentage of correct classifications for each group was 77.8% for GI, 66.7% for GII and 87.5% for GIII. That is, 87.5% of the children who were classified as GIII after evaluation 2 had already demonstrated good auditory performance in the tests applied at 5 years of age. Conclusions: Children who exhibited lower scores on AP tests at 7 years of age had demonstrated poor auditory perception at 5 years of age. This finding is relevant because it offers the possibility of stimulating or training these auditory skills in preschoolers to foster their development.
