Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the responsiveness of cochlear nerve to electrical stimulation in patients with cochlear nerve deficiency(CND), to compare their results with those measured in implanted children with normal-sized cochlear nerves, and to investigate the characteristics of the cochlear nerve injury of children with CND. Methods: Participants were children who underwent cochlear implantation at Shandong Provincial ENT Hospital from January 2012 to January 2020, including CND group and control group. The CND group included 51 subjects (male:20; female: 31) who were diagnosed with CND and had normal cochlea. For the CND group, four children had been bilaterally implanted, the mean implantation age was (2.7±1.5) years old. The control group included 21 subjects (male:10; femal:11) who had normal-sized cochlear nerve and normal cochlea. For the control group, all children had been unilaterally implanted except one, and the mean implantation age was (3.0±1.9)years old. Three subjects in the CND group used CI422 electrode arrays, and all the other subjects used CI24RECA/CI512 electrode arrays. The electrically evoked compound action potentials (ECAP) had been tried to record for each electrode using Custom Sound EP software (v. 4.3, Cochlear Ltd.) at least six months post first activation. Furthermore, ECAP amplitude growth functions (AGF) were measured at multiple electrode locations across the electrode array. Generalized linear mixed effect models with the subject group and electrode location as the fixed effects and subjects as the random effect were used to compare results of ECAP measurements. Results: In the control group, ECAP could been recorded at all electrodes (100%), but it could only be recorded in 71% (859/1 210) electrodes in the CND group. Additionally, the percentage of electrodes with measurable ECAP decreased from electrode 1 to electrode 22 in the CND group. Compared to the control group, the ECAP thresholds significantly increased, the ECAP amplitudes and AGF slopes significantly decreased, and the ECAP latency significantly increased in the CND group (P<0.01). GLMM showed that the stimulating site had a significant effect on the ECAP threshold, maximum amplitude, and AGF slope (P<0.01), but had no significant effect on the ECAP latency (P>0.05) in the CND group. However, the stimulating site had no significant effects on the ECAP measurements in the control group. Furthermore, the functional status of cochlear nerve varied greatly among CND group. From electrode 1 to electrode 22, the ECAP thresholds gradually increased, the ECAP maximum amplitudes and AGF slopes gradually decreased in the CND group. Conclusion: Compared with patients with normal-sized cochlear nerve, not only the number of residual spinal ganglion neurons reduce,but also the function of spinal ganglion neurons damages in CND patients. The degree of cochlea nerve deterioration varies greatly among CND patients. Generally, the deterioration of cochlear nerve tends to increase from the basal to the apical site of the cochlea.

OBJECTIVE@#To explore whether the characteristic responses to sound stimulations of the auditory neurons in the striatum is regulated in different behavioral states.@*METHODS@#The auditory neurons in the striatum of awake C57BL/6J mice were selected for this study. We recorded the auditory response of the striatum to noises over a long period of time by building a synchronous in vivo electrophysiological and locomotion recording system and using glass microelectrode attachment recording. By analyzing the running speed of the mice, the behavioral states of the mice were divided into the quiet state and the active state, and the spontaneous activity and evoked responses of the auditory neurons in the striatum were analyzed in these two states.@*RESULTS@#Compared with those recorded in the quiet state, the spontaneous activity of the auditory neurons in the striatum of the mice increased significantly (37.06±12.02 vs 18.51±10.91, P < 0.001) while the auditory response of the neurons decreased significantly (noise intensity=60 dB, 3.45±2.99 vs 3.04±2.76, P < 0.001) in the active state.@*CONCLUSION@#Locomotion has a significant inhibitory effect on the auditory response of the striatum, which may importantly contribute to the decline of sound information recognition ability in the active state.

Introduction: Neonatal hearing loss (NHL) is a relevant health problem due to its high incidence and the effects it may have both on the mental and psychological development of the patient. Neonatal hearing screening (NHS) is essential for the identification of patients at risk of NHL. Objective: To identify the characteristics of patients with abnormal NHS test results at the Hospital Universitario Clínica San Rafael. Design: Cross-sectional descriptive observational study. Materials and methods: Biological and clinical characteristics were identified in patients with abnormal otoacoustic emissions and/or auditory evoked potentials (AEP) performed between 2018 and 2020. Patients involved were divided into 2 groups according to the presence of risk factors for NHL. Results: 9027 patients were screened, 223 (24.7%) had abnormal results, but 19 patients were excluded. 204 patients were included in total, 46 (22.5%) of which were high risk (HR) and 158 (77.5%) were low risk (LR). NHS in LR patients was performed before the first month of life on 78.5% of cases and 21.4% of HR patients. The most frequent characteristics were mechanical ventilation (45.6%), intensive care unit admission (43.5%), craniofacial abnormality (15.2%) and hyperbilirubinemia greater than 20 mg/dL (10.8%). Conclusion: Efforts and resources should be optimized as means to perform hearing screening tests before the first month of life on 100% of patients. Complementary studies should be performed with the aim to identify the final auditory diagnoses of patients with abnormal results, as well as the type of treatment and auditory rehabilitation offered.

Introduction: Infants born with low birth weight in relation to their gestational age are more prone to neonatal and infant morbidity and mortality. Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potential (BAEP) is a useful tool to investigate the neuroelectric activity of the auditory pathway of brainstem. Objective: To investigate the birth weight and gestational age effect on the infants' auditory pathway. Methods: cross-sectional study, conducted in a public hospital from January 2017 to December 2018 composed by small-for-gestational-age (SGA) born infants in the study group, and appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) infants, as control group. Both groups were similar in relation to gestational age, risk indicators for hearing loss, and age at the moment of audiological evaluation. All of them were submitted to the exams of transient otoacoustic emissions and BAEP. Results: 172 infants participated, with an average age of 1.3 months for those born SGA and 1.5 months for AGA. In the evaluation using the BAEP, there was a significant increase only in the values of the absolute latencies; however, the median values of both absolute and interpeak latencies were similar between them. Conclusion: The birth weight and gestational age effect in infants born weighing less than the 10th percentile, did not demonstrate impairment on the auditory pathway in the first month of life.

Abstract Introduction The cortical auditory evoked potential allows the possibility of objectively evaluating the entire auditory system, which is desirable in the pediatric population. Bone conduction auditory stimulation is recommended in the differential diagnosis of conductive hearing loss. However, there are not many studies of cortical auditory evoked potential using bone conduction. Objective The aim of this study was to characterize the response of cortical auditory evoked potential through bone conduction in normal-hearing neonates using an automated response analysis equipment. Methods This study included 30 normal-hearing neonates, without risk factors for hearing loss. The equipment used was the HEARlab automated response analysis and the cortical responses were evaluated at the frequencies of 500-4000 Hz through bone conduction, at intensity ranging from 0 to 60 dBnHL. The latencies and amplitudes were manually marked by experienced judges. Results Cortical auditory evoked potential responses were detected in 100% of the evaluated subjects and there was no difference regarding the cortical response of the neonates in relation to the variables of gender, ear and masking use. At an intensity of 60 dBnHL for the frequencies of 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz the latencies were 234; 241; 239 and 253 ms and the amplitudes were 15.6; 8.4; 6.2; 6.3 µV. The mean thresholds were 23.6; 28; 31 and 33.1 dBnHL, respectively. Conclusion It was possible to measure the cortical auditory evoked potential response in the neonatal population using bone vibrator as sound transducer and to draw the profile of the cortical auditory evoked potential latencies and amplitudes by frequencies at the intensity of 60 dBnHL and at the threshold.
Resumo Introdução O potencial evocado auditivo cortical traz a possibilidade de avaliar de forma objetiva todo o sistema auditivo, o que é desejável na população infantil. A estimulação auditiva por condução óssea é recomendada no diagnóstico diferencial da perda auditiva condutiva. Entretanto, não há muitos estudos de potencial evocado auditivo cortical com o uso do vibrador ósseo. Objetivo Caracterizar a resposta do potencial evocado auditivo cortical por vibrador ósseo em neonatos normo-ouvintes com equipamento de análise automática de resposta. Metodologia A pesquisa incluiu 30 neonatos normo-ouvintes e sem fator de risco para deficiência auditiva. Foi usado o equipamento de análise automática de resposta HEARlab e foram avaliadas as repostas corticais na frequências de 500 a 4000 Hz por vibrador ósseo, na intensidade de 0 a 60 dBnNA. As latências e amplitudes foram marcadas manualmente por juízes experientes. Resultados Foram detectadas respostas de potencial evocado auditivo cortical em 100% dos sujeitos avaliados. Não houve diferença na resposta cortical dos neonatos para as variáveis: sexo, orelha e uso do mascaramento. Para as frequências de 500, 1000, 2000 e 4000 Hz foram observadas as latências de 234; 241; 239 e 253 ms, as amplitudes de 15,6; 8,4; 6,2; 6,3 µV, na intensidade de 60 dBnNA, e os limiares médios de 23,6; 28; 31 e 33,1 dBnNA, respectivamente. Conclusão Foi possível obter a resposta do potencial evocado auditivo cortical na população neonatal com vibrador ósseo como transdutor de som e traçar o perfil das latências e amplitudes dos potencial evocado auditivo cortical por frequência nas intensidades de 60 dBnNA e no limiar.

Objective: To investigate the variation regularity and influencing factors of cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) evoked by pure tone, syllable and tone stimuli in cochlear implant (CI) children. Methods: Cortical auditory evoked potential (CAEP) responses were collected from 46 CI children in the sound field. Pure tones with frequencies of 1 kHz and 2 kHz were used as the standard and the deviant respectively in the pure tone stimulation condition. The Chinese Mandarin tokens/ba/-/pa/and/ba1/-/ba4/pairs were used as the stimuli respectively in the syllable and tone stimulation condition. The latency, amplitude and presence rate of P1 and mismatch negative(MMN) were obtained and the correlation between the difficulty of auditory task, the age of hearing month, the duration of severe-profound hearing loss, the wearing history of hearing aid before CI, the hearing threshold of the better ear before CI and the latency and amplitude of P1 and MMN were analyzed. All statistical analyses and figures were conducted using SPSS 25.0. Results: The P1 presence rate of pure tone, syllable and tone group was 100% (17/17), 100% (13/13) and 75.0% (12/16), respectively, with significant difference (χ²=8.214, P=0.016). There was significant difference between pure tone group and tone group (χ²=4.836, P=0.028), but no significant difference between pure tone group and syllable group, syllable group and tone group. The MMN presence rate of pure tone, syllable and tone group was 94.1% (16/17), 84.6% (11/13) and 62.5% (10/16), respectively, but no significant difference among the three groups with different auditory tasks(χ²=0.066, P=0.066). No significant difference was observed among the three groups of different auditory tasks in the latency and amplitude of P1 and MMN. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the latency of P1 was positively correlated with the difficulty of auditory task and the hearing threshold of the better ear before CI, and negatively correlated with hearing age and the history of hearing aid before CI. The latency of MMN was positively correlated with the difficulty of auditory task, and negatively correlated with hearing age. Conclusions: The P1 presence rate of pure tone auditory task is significantly higher than that of tone auditory task. The difficulty of auditory task, hearing age, the history of hearing aid before CI, and the hearing threshold of the better ear before CI has significant effects on the P1 latency. The difficulty of auditory task and hearing age has significant effects on the MMN latency.

RESUMO Objetivo Avaliar os achados audiológicos de recém-nascidos expostos à sífilis materna, tratada adequadamente na gestação. Métodos Estudo de coorte única não concorrente, realizado em um hospital público. Fizeram parte da amostra recém-nascidos filhos de mães que apresentaram sorologia positiva para sífilis e que realizaram o tratamento adequado durante a gestação, compondo o grupo estudo, e recém-nascidos sem indicadores de risco para deficiência auditiva, grupo comparação. Resultados Participaram do estudo 90 recém-nascidos, sendo 41 do grupo estudo e 49 do grupo comparação. No exame de emissões otoacústicas por estímulo transiente, todos apresentaram presença de resposta bilateralmente e, na comparação das amplitudes de respostas nas bandas de frequências de 3,0 kHz, 3,5 kHz e 4,0 kHz observou-se menor amplitude de resposta no grupo exposto, com diferença estatisticamente significativa para a frequência de 4 kHz à direita. Na análise das respostas do exame de potencial evocado auditivo de tronco encefálico, não se observou assimetria de resposta entre as orelhas que sugerisse alteração retrococlear e nem diferenças nos valores das latências absolutas ou intervalos interpicos, entre os grupos. Conclusão As respostas eletroacústicas foram discretamente inferiores nos recém-nascidos exposto à sífilis materna, enquanto que as respostas eletrofisiológicas foram semelhantes às encontradas na população de baixo risco para deficiência auditiva.
ABSTRACT Purpose To evaluate the audiological findings of newborns exposed to maternal syphilis, properly treated during pregnancy. Methods This was a single, non-concurrent cohort study conducted in a public hospital. The sample included newborns whose mothers had positive syphilis serology and who underwent adequate treatment during pregnancy, composing the study group, and newborns without risk indicators for hearing loss, as a comparison group. Results Ninety newborns participated in the study, 41 were the study group and 49 were the comparison group. In the transient evoked otoacoustic emissions test, all newborns showed a bilateral response, and when comparing the amplitudes of responses in the 3.0 kHz, 3.5 kHz and 4.0 kHz frequency bands, a smaller amplitude of response in the studied group with a statistically significant difference for the frequency of 4 kHz on the right was observed. An analysis of the response of the brainstem auditory evoked potential test showed no asymmetry of response between the ears that suggest a retrocochlear alteration, nor difference in the values of absolute latencies or interpeak intervals between groups. Conclusion The electroacoustic responses were slightly lower in newborns exposed to maternal syphilis, whereas their electrophysiological responses were similar to those found in the population at low risk for hearing loss.

OBJECTIVES: To analyze central auditory maturation in term and preterm infants during the first 3 months of life by comparing the latency and amplitude of cortical auditory-evoked potential at different frequencies. METHODS: In this study, 17 term and 18 preterm infants were examined; all had tested positive on the neonatal hearing screening test. Cortical auditory potential was investigated during the first and third months of life. The response of the cortical auditory-evoked potential was investigated at frequencies of 500, 1000, 2000, and 4000 Hz. The latency and amplitude of the cortical response were automatically detected and manually analyzed by three researchers with experience in electrophysiology. The results were compared using analysis of variance and the Bonferroni test. A significance level of 5% was used for all analyses. RESULTS: Latency values of cortical auditory-evoked potential in the first month of birth were significantly higher than those in the third month, and latency values of the preterm group were higher than those of the term group, regardless of the frequency and time of evaluation. In general, the latency of the cortical auditory-evoked potential was higher at high frequencies. Amplitude values in the third month of life were significantly higher than those in the first month for term and preterm infants. CONCLUSION: Central auditory maturation was observed in both groups but with different results between those born at term and preterm, with latencies of cortical auditory-evoked potential higher for the preterm group and at high frequencies.

RESUMO Objetivo Identificar e analisar quais são os achados característicos dos Potenciais Evocados Auditivos Corticais (PEAC) em crianças e/ou adolescentes com Transtorno do Espectro do Autismo (TEA) em comparação do desenvolvimento típico, por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura. Estratégia de pesquisa Após formulação da pergunta de pesquisa, foi realizada uma revisão da literatura em sete bases de dados (Web of Science, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Lilacs, Scielo, Science Direct, e Google acadêmico), com os seguintes descritores: transtorno do espectro autista (autism spectrum disorder), transtorno autístico (autistic disorder), potenciais evocados auditivos (evoked potentials, auditory), potencial evocado P300 (event related potentials, P300) e criança (child). A presente revisão foi cadastrada no Próspero, sob número 118751. Critérios de seleção Foram selecionados estudos publicados na integra, sem limitação de idioma, entre 2007 e 2019. Análise dos dados: Foram analisadas as características de latência e amplitude dos componentes P1, N1, P2, N2 e P3 presentes nos PEAC. Resultados Foram localizados 193 estudos; contudo 15 estudos contemplaram os critérios de inclusão. Embora não tenha sido possível identificar um padrão de resposta para os componentes P1, N1, P2, N2 e P3, os resultados da maioria dos estudos demonstraram que indivíduos com TEA podem apresentar diminuição de amplitude e aumento de latência do componente P3. Conclusão Indivíduos com TEA podem apresentar respostas diversas para os componentes dos PEAC, sendo que a diminuição de amplitude e aumento de latência do componente P3 foram as características mais comuns.
ABSTRACT Purpose To identify and analyze what are the characteristic findings of Cortical Auditory Evoked Potentials (CAEP) in children and / or adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) compared to typical development, through a systematic literature review. Research strategies Based on the formulation of a research question, a bibliographic survey was carried out in seven databases (Web of Science, Pubmed, Cochrane Library, Lilacs, Scielo, Science Direct, and Google Sholar), with the following descriptors: autism spectrum disorder (transtorno do espectro autista), autistic disorder (transtorno autístico), evoked potentials, auditory (potenciais evocados auditivos), event related potentials, P300 (potencial evocado P300) e child (criança). This review was registered in Prospero, under number 118751. Selection criteria Were selected articles published, without language limitation, between 2007 and 2019. Data analysis The characteristics of the latency and amplitude aspects of the P1, N1, P2, N2 and P3 components present in the CAEP. Results 193 studies were located; however, 15 original articles were included the inclusion criteria for this study. Although it has not been possible to identify any pattern of response for the P1, N1, P2 and N2 components, the results of the selected studies have demonstrated that individuals with ASD may present a decrease in amplitude and increase in latency of the P3 component. Conclusion Individuals with ASD may present different responses to the components of the CAEP, and the decrease of the amplitude and increase of the latency of the P3 component were the most common characteristics.

OBJECTIVES: We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a binaural auditory training program with vocal duets by comparing skills through outcomes from behavioral and electrophysiological assessment instruments at three moments: before the intervention, moment one (M1); immediately after training, moment two (M2); and 3 months after, moment three (M3). METHODS: This interventional, longitudinal, prospective, and uncontrolled study was approved by our Research Ethics Committee. Binaural auditory training with vocal duets (ATVD) was applied in 10 adults with normal audiometric thresholds and auditory processing disorders. ATVD used four different vocals of a public domain song sung in a cappella as stimuli. Participants were asked to register any perceived difference in frequency for each syllable of the song during 30-minute sessions twice a week. The number of sessions required ranged from 12 (6 hours) to 20 (10 hours). RESULTS: Regarding behavioral tests, the dichotic consonant-vowel test showed significant evidence of an improved advantage in the left ear (LE) in the non-forced condition and a significant reduction in the number of errors at M2 and M3 in the forced left condition. The speech-in-noise test and frequency pattern test showed a significant reduction in impaired results at M2 and M3. Electrophysiological results showed a significant increase in the LE amplitude in the P3 long-latency auditory evoked potentials test, as well as a decrease in the auditory brainstem response test (III-V and I-V inter-peak latencies in the right ear and wave I and I-III inter-peak latencies in LE). CONCLUSION: The effectiveness of ATVD was evidenced, and the results were maintained after 3 months.

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to describe and compare the performance of older adults with normal hearing and hearing impairments in mismatch negativity (MMN), correlate MMN with cognitive tasks and central auditory processing (CAP), and identify normal values for MMN in older adults. METHODS: This study had 54 participants. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used to assess cognition and the random gap detection test (RGDT), dichotic digit test (DDT), and speech to noise (SN) test were used to evaluate CAP. MMN was elicited with the verbal stimulus /da/ (frequent) and /ta/ (rare), and the latency, amplitude, duration, and area were analyzed. RESULTS: When comparing the normal-hearing group to those with hearing loss, there was no significant difference in MMN. When correlating MMN with MoCA, RGDT, DDT, and the SN test, there was a weak correlation between the MMN amplitude and the RGDT and DDT. When comparing the MMN of participants with normal and altered cognitive aspects and those with normal and altered DDT, the MMN duration was found to be affected by the DDT. The mean latency value of the MMN in the normal-hearing group was 199.8 ms, the amplitude was -2.2 µV, area was 116.1 µV/ms, and duration was 81.2 ms. CONCLUSION: Mild hearing loss did not influence MMN. There was no correlation between MMN and cognitive aspects, and there were weak correlations with CAP. Alterations in CAP led to longer durations in MMN. Normal values for MMN in adults aged between 60 and 77 years were generated.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the relationship between cognitive performance and long-latency auditory evoked potentials in an elderly population. METHODS: The sample consisted of adults between 20 and 58 years of age and elderly adults between 60 and 70 years of age. The screening procedures adopted were an inspection of the external auditory canal, tonal and vocal audiometry, tympanometry, brain stem auditory evoked potential, the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test, and long-latency auditory evoked potential. RESULTS: The latency and amplitude values of cortical components by age group showed significant differences under the following conditions: (i) signals evoked by the speech stimulus /da/ and by the pure-tone stimulus at 2,000 Hz for the N2 amplitude (p=0.008 and p=0.001, respectively) , which were both higher for adults, and (ii) signals evoked by the speech stimulus /da/ for N1 latency (p=0.018) and by the pure-tone stimulus at 2,000 Hz for P2 latency (p=0.017), which were both higher in the elderly population. The cognitive component (P300) showed a significant difference when evoked by speech stimuli, with higher latency in the elderly population (p=0.013). When correlated with cognitive processes, the latency and amplitude of cortical potentials showed direct and medium-strength correlations between abnormal scores obtained on the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test and P2 amplitude (p<0.001 and r=0.452). CONCLUSION: There is a relationship between long-latency potentials and cognitive performance in the elderly, which was observed by the increase in the P2 amplitude and the impairment of the process of sound decoding.

Resumo Objetivo Avaliar os achados dos Potenciais Evocados Auditivos de Longa Latência (PEALL) em crianças com Transtorno dos Sons na Fala (TSF) após terapia fonoaudiológica. Método Estudo clínico longitudinal e prospectivo em um grupo de 14 crianças com TSF, de cinco a sete anos de idade, de ambos os sexos. Foram aplicadas as provas de Nomeação de Figuras e Imitação de palavras, para as quais foi calculado o índice de gravidade Porcentagem de Consoantes Corretas. Foram registrados os PEALL com estímulo de fala e foram analisados os valores de latência e amplitude dos componentes P1, N1, P2, N2 e P3. Cada criança foi avaliada em dois diferentes momentos: avaliação inicial e após 12 sessões de terapia fonoaudiológica. Resultados Os resultados mostraram que após terapia fonoaudiológica, o valor do índice de gravidade Porcentagem de Consoantes Corretas aumentou e um maior número de componentes foi observado nos registros dos PEALL nas crianças com TSF. Também foi observado um aumento estatisticamente significativo na amplitude do componente P3, demostrando que modificações anatomofisiológicas ocorreram no sistema nervoso auditivo central após intervenção, proporcionando melhora nos resultados dos PEALL. Conclusão Após terapia fonoaudiológica, foi observada melhora no desempenho fonológico das crianças, aumento no número de componentes presentes nos PEALL, bem como aumento na amplitude do componente P3, demonstrando que ocorreu plasticidade na via auditiva após um curto período de intervenção fonoaudiológica.
Abstract Purpose To analyze the results of Long-latency Auditory Evoked Potentials (LLAEP) in children with Speech Sounds Disorder (SSD) after speech therapy. Methods Longitudinal and prospective clinical study at 14 children with SSD, with ages ranging from five to seven years, of both genders. Were applied Picture Naming task and Imitation task, and from these tasks it was calculated the Percentage of Consonants Correct index. For an analysis of the LLAEP with speech stimulus and recorded the latency and amplitude values of P1, N1, P2, N2 and P3 components. Each child was evaluated in two different moments: initial evaluation and after 12 sessions of speech therapy. Results It was observed that after twelve sessions of speech therapy the value of Percentage of Consonants Correct index increased, and a greater number of components were observed in the LLAEP records of children with SSD, as well as a statistically significant increase in the amplitude of the P3 component, demonstrating that anatomical and physiological changes occurred in the central auditory nervous system after intervention, resulting in improved of the LLAEP results. Conclusion After speech therapy, improvement in the children's phonology was observed, and there was an increase in the number of components present in the LLAEP, as well as an increase in the amplitude of the P3 component, demonstrating that plasticity occurred in the auditory pathway during these three months of therapeutic intervention.

Introdução: a triagem auditiva neonatal (TAN) está disposta na Lei nº 12.303/2010, a qual, obriga a realização do teste da orelhinha em todos os hospitais e maternidades do Brasil. Porém, vários estados brasileiros ainda não atingiram o nível de cobertura satisfatória desse programa conforme preconizado. Objetivo: analisar a cobertura da triagem auditiva neonatal no período entre 2011 a 2018 nas macrorregiões do Estado da Bahia. Metodologia: estudo ecológico, quase-experimental, realizado por meio do tabulador genérico de domínio público desenvolvido pelo DATASUS. Resultados: a produção ambulatorial dos procedimentos da TAN no Estado da Bahia obteve crescimento considerável ao longo do período do estudo, porém os achados apontaram que as taxas de crescimentos anuais apresentaram um comportamento irregular no seu crescimento. Observou-se que a média das taxas de cobertura na Bahia é inferior à média nacional e muito discrepante quando comparada a média universal. Conclusão: os achados demonstraram que o Estado da Bahia segue com taxas de cobertura da TAN inferior ao preconizado pelo COMUSA (Comitê Multiprofissional de Saúde Auditiva), apresentando distribuição irregular na realização dos procedimentos, ausência de recursos tecnológicos em algumas macrorregiões, o que compromete o princípio da universalidade da TAN no Estado.
Introduction: the newborn hearing screening (NHS) is set out in Law Nº 12.303/2010, which requires the ear test to be performed in all hospitals and maternity hospitals in Brazil. However, several Brazilian states have not yet reached the level of satisfactory coverage of this program as recommended. Objective: to analyze the coverage of newborn hearing screening, between 2011 and 2018, in the macro-regions of the State of Bahia. Methodology: ecological, quasi-experimental study, carried out using the generic public domain tab developed by DATASUS. Results: the NHS procedures in the State of Bahia achieved considerable growth over the period of the study, however the findings pointed out that the annual growth rates showed an unstable behavior in their growth. It was observed that the average coverage rates in Bahia are lower than the national average and very different when compared to the universal average. Conclusion: the findings showed that the State of Bahia continues to have NHS coverage rates lower than recommended by COMUSA (Multiprofessional Hearing Health Committee), unstable distribution in the performance of procedures, there are no technological resources in some macro-regions, which compromises the principle of universality of NHS in the state.

Objetivo: descrever o acompanhamento audiológico de uma criança com exame sorológico positivo para sífilis. Caso Clínico: E.G.M.L, com sorologia positiva para sífilis, com dois dias de vida, obteve resultado "falha" na Triagem Auditiva Neonatal, com Emissões Otoacústicas Evocadas Transientes. Encaminada para o ambulatório da Clínica Escola de Fonoaudiologia, da Universidade Estadual da Bahia, retornou com quatro meses, quando realizou reteste das Emissões Otoacústicas Evocadas Transientes, que permaneceram ausentes; também se submeteu à imitanciometria, onde foram obtidas curvas timpanométricas "pico único". A avaliação da condução nervosa com Potencial Evocado Auditivo do Tronco Encefálico do Tronco Encefálico mostrou-se normal na orelha esquerda, com limiares eletrofisiológicos presentes até a intensidade de 50 dB. Porém, houve despertar do sono e não foi possível avaliar a orelha direita. Em nova reavaliação, aos oito meses, a condução nervosa pelo mesmo processo apresentou normalidade na orelha direita. As condições nutricionais de E.G.M.L. eram então críticas, com desnutrição acentuada. O atendimento no âmbito audiológico foi temporariamente suspenso e houve encaminhamento para o setor de fisioterapia e nutrição da Universidade do Estado da Bahia. Discussão: o levantamento de questões audiológicas, em grupos de risco para alterações auditivas, visa à reabilitação e à garantia das condições ideais de comunicação. Neonatos com detecção precoce de alterações auditivas são candidatos ideais à amplificação e reabilitação. Conclusão: crianças com risco para sífilis congênita precisam ser avaliadas na Triagem Auditiva e acompanhadas no seguimento. Entretanto, algumas vezes torna-se difícil conscientizar a família. Essa continuidade é importante para assegurar a integridade dos sentidos e, no caso da audição, para favorecer o desenvolvimento adequado da criança.
Objective: to describe the audiologic follow-up of a child testing positive in the serological test for syphilis. Case: E.G.M.L. has positive syphilis serology and within two days of life presented a Newborn Hearing Screening result considered fail and Transient-evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAE). She was referred to the outpatient clinic of the Clinical School of Speech-Language Therapy of State University of Bahia (UNEB) to where she returned after four months to submit to a retest of TEOAE which remained absent and an immittance test that presented a single-peaked tympanometric shape. The evaluation of nerve conduction related to Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) was normal in the left ear presenting thresholds up to 50 dB. However, as she awakened, it was not possible to assess the right ear. However, in a new reassessment, which only occurred when she was at eight months of age, the nerve conduction related to ABR was normal in the right ear. The nutritional status of E.G.M.L at eight months of age was critical, she was severely undernourished. The hearing care service was temporarily suspended, then she was referred to the UNEB physiotherapy and nutrition sector. Discussion: the purpose of the survey on audiological issues among infectious risk groups is to make an early diagnosis of hearing disorders in order to promote rehabilitation and improve communication functions. Neonates with hearing loss at such a young age are the best candidates for amplification and rehabilitation. Conclusion: Children at risk for congenital syphilis need to be evaluated in terms of Hearing Screening and to be monitored, even though it sometimes becomes difficult to convince the family about that. It is important to keep this process in order to assure the integrity of the senses, especially in terms of the audiologic system, and to promote the adequate development of the child.

Abstract Introduction: The study of the threshold level of cortical auditory response in adults has been investigated in previous studies. Due to maturational issues, little is known about these responses in neonates. Technological advances with automatic analysis devices now allow investigation in specific populations. Thus, new studies are needed to establish the feasibility of using this auditory potential to identify the lowest levels of responses in children. Objective: Verify and compare latency and amplitude in 80 dBnNA and the minimum level of cortical auditory response in term and preterm neonates. Methods: A cross-sectional, comparative study involving 59 neonates, 35 full-term births and 24 preterm births, with positive results in the Neonatal Hearing Screening. The Hearlab system was used to investigate the P1i auditory potential with tone burst stimulus at frequencies of 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz. The minimum response level search ranged from 80 to 0 dBNA and was detected automatically. The results were compared between groups, evaluating the latency and amplitude in 80 dBNA and the minimum level of cortical auditory response. Results: The mean values obtained for the minimum level of cortical auditory response in term group were 26 ± 8.81; 26.14 ± 6.97; 29 ± 7.65 and 29.43 ± 7.04 dBNA and for preterm neonates of 31.96 ± 10.41; 34.13 ± 11.34; 33.64 ± 11.03 and 37.73 ± 11.92 dBNA, for the frequencies of 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz, respectively. There was a difference between groups for the latency of P1i at 4000 Hz and the minimum response levels at 500, 1000 and 4000 Hz, with higher values for preterm infants. Conclusion: It was possible to obtain latency and amplitude values at 80 dBnNA and the minimum level of cortical response in term and preterm newborns, with different results between groups, with higher values in those born preterm.
Resumo Introdução: A investigação do nível mínimo de resposta auditiva cortical tem sido alvo de diferentes estudos em adultos. Devido a questões de maturação, pouco se sabe sobre essas respostas em recém-nascidos. Com o avanço tecnológico, dispositivos de análise automática surgiram com o objetivo de retomar essa avaliação em populações específicas. Assim, novos estudos são necessários para verificar a viabilidade do uso desse potencial auditivo na obtenção de níveis mínimos de respostas na criança. Objetivo: Verificar e comparar latência e amplitude em 80 dBnNA e o nível mínimo de resposta auditiva cortical em recém-nascidos a termo e pré-termo. Método: Estudo transversal, comparativo, envolvendo 59 neonatos, 35 nascidos a termo e 24 pré-termos, com resultados positivos na triagem auditiva neonatal. O sistema Hearlab foi utilizado para investigar o potencial auditivo P1i com estímulo tone burst nas frequências de 500, 1000, 2000 e 4000 Hz. A busca do nível mínimo de resposta variou de 80 a 0 dBNA e foi detectado automaticamente. Os resultados foram comparados entre os grupos, avaliando a latência e amplitude em 80 dBNA e o nível mínimo de resposta auditiva cortical. Resultados: Os valores médios obtidos para o nível mínimo de resposta auditiva cortical no grupo nascido a termo foram 26 ± 8,81; 26,14 ± 6,97; 29 ± 7,65 e 29,43 ± 7,04 dBNA e para recém-nascidos pré-termos foram de 31,96 ± 10,41; 34,13 ± 11,34; 33,64 ± 11,03 e 37,73 ± 11,92 dBNA, para as frequências de 500, 1000, 2000 e 4000 Hz, respectivamente. Houve diferenc¸a entre os grupos para a latência de P1i em 4000 Hz e os níveis mínimos de resposta em 500, 1000 e 4000 Hz, com valores maiores em Pré-termos. Conclusão: Foi possível obter valores de latência e amplitude em 80 dBnNA e o nível mínimo de resposta cortical em recém-nascidos a termo e Pré-termos, com resultados diferentes entre osgrupos, com valores maiores em pré-termos.

Abstract Introduction: The brainstem auditory evoked potential with speech stimulus, BAEP-speech, has been applied to observe how speech sounds are manifested in the brainstem. This tool can be used in children to assess central auditory processing, allowing preventive and early interventions. Objective: To assess the results found in the brainstem auditory evoked potential with speech stimulus in the pediatric population with and without oral language disorders, through a systematic literature review. Methods: The search was carried out in the scientific databases Portal BVS, Pubmed, Lilacs, Medline, Scielo and Web of Science, OpenGrey.eu, DissOnline, OpenDoar, OAIster and The New York Academy of Medicine. A systematic literature review was performed using the descriptors: auditory evoked potentials, children and their synonyms, combined by the Boolean operators AND and OR. The search filter "age: child" was used. The studies were independently read by peers and, in case of disagreement regarding the inclusion of studies, a third researcher was consulted. Original case-control articles that performed BAEP-speech without competitive noise, carried out in the pediatric population without and with oral language disorders, were included. Result: 14 articles published between 2008 and 2019 were included in this review. Methodological variability was observed in the exam, with the syllable / da / being the most frequently used as the stimulus. When performing the average of the groups, it was observed that the population with specific language disorders showed greater latency delays in the sustained portion, lower amplitude values and VA complex slope. The group with phonological disorders had higher values in the transient portion of the responses. Conclusion: Children with language disorders of different etiologies have different patterns of BAEP-speech responses when compared to children with typical development.
Resumo Introdução: O potencial evocado auditivo de tronco encefálico com estímulo de fala (PEATE-fala) tem sido aplicado para observar como os sons da fala se manifestam no tronco encefálico. Essa ferramenta pode ser usada em crianças na avaliação do processamento auditivo central, permite intervenções preventivas e precoces. Objetivo: Conhecer os resultados encontrados no potencial evocado auditivo de tronco encefálico com estímulo de fala na população pediátrica com e sem transtornos de linguagem oral, por meio de revisão sistemática da literatura. Método: As buscas foram feitas nas bases de dados científicos Portal BVS, Pubmed, Lilacs, Medline, Scielo e Web of Science, OpenGrey.eu, DissOnline, OpenDoar, OAIster e The New York Academy of Medicine. Foi feita revisão sistemática da literatura, com os descritores auditory evoked potentials, children e seus sinônimos, combinados pelos operadores booleanos AND e OR. Foi usado o filtro de pesquisa "idade: criança". A leitura dos estudos foi feita por pares de forma independente e em caso de discordância na inclusão de estudos um terceiro pesquisador foi consultado. Foram incluídos artigos originais do tipo caso-controle que fizeram o PEATE-fala sem ruído competitivo na população pediátrica sem e com transtornos de linguagem oral. Resultado: Foram incluídos 14 artigos publicados entre 2008 e 2019 na presente revisão. Foi observada variabilidade metodológica na realização do exame, a sílaba /da/ foi a mais usada para estimulação. Ao se fazerem médias dos grupos, observou-se que a população com distúrbio específico de linguagem apresentou maiores atrasos de latência na porção sustentada, menores valores de amplitude e slope do complexo VA. O grupo com transtorno fonológico obteve maiores valores na porção transiente das respostas. Conclusão: Crianças com alterações de linguagem de diferentes etiologias apresentam padrões de respostas do PEATE-fala distintos quando comparadas às crianças com desenvolvimento típico.
