Introduction
Among the currently-applied auditory processing tests, dichotic listening tests have been widely used, since they allow investigating the hemispheric and inter-hemispheric function and their respective skills to process the received auditory information.
Objective
To obtain normality reference measures with the new dichotic sentence i...

METHODS:
27 subjects were evaluated...
To present and describe a new strategy and protocol for obtaining the Sentences Recognition Indexes (SRI), using the Lists of Phrases in Portuguese test (LPP), considering words in the analysis of responses; to analyze and compare the results using the previous and the new strategies by checking their applicability and suitability.
To consider each...
PURPOSE:
to investigate the presence of complaint and hearing loss in a group of active older people and verify the relation between self-perceived hearing condition and audiologic findings.
METHODS:

METHOD: 13 children and teenage...
INTRODUÇÃO: Na rotina clínica do audiologista, são frequentes as queixas de dificuldade de compreensão de fala em ambiente ruidoso. Testes audiológicos que utilizam sentenças como estímulo, têm sido objetos de pesquisa, pois além de verificarem real habilidade auditiva do paciente, proporcionam uma aproximação direta com situações de comunicação e...
INTRODUÇÃO: Estudo clínico e experimental. Indivíduos com audição normal podem ser prejudicados em situações de comunicação desfavoráveis, o que interfere negativamente na inteligibilidade de fala. OBJETIVO: Verificar e comparar o desempenho de adultos jovens, normo-ouvintes, com e sem queixa clínica de dificuldade para entender a fala no ruído, ut...
PURPOSE: to determine the thresholds for sentence recognition in quiet (SRTQ) and in noise (SRTN) in order to estimate the benchmarks for young normal hearing adults. METHODS: the study included 240 individuals of both genders, aged between 18 and 30 year old with at least with high school education. Measurements were obtained using the Portuguese...
