Abstract

Purpose: to analyze the test results of speech perception and spoken language in children with hearing loss and auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, users of hearing aids or cochlear implants.

Methods: a systematic review of the literature based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Consultation was performed in databases, considering studies from 1996 to 2021, selecting the studies that presented the results of speech perception or spoken language in children with bilateral auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, with no structural alterations of the ear and/or vestibulocochlear nerve, or other associated impairments. Descriptive analysis was performed.

Literature Review: among 1,422 studies found, 15 were included. Variability in the sample size, types of studies, evaluation procedures and methodological questions were observed. The cochlear implants and hearing aids contributed to the development of speech perception and spoken language in children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, since skills such as auditory comprehension and speech intelligibility, were achieved.

Conclusion: 15 studies suggest that cochlear implants and hearing aids may be effective for speech perception and spoken language development in children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, with no other associated impairments. The need for further research with a high methodological rigor is highlighted.

Resumo

Objetivo: analisar os resultados de testes percepção da fala e linguagem falada de crianças com espectro da neuropatia auditiva, usuárias de aparelho de amplificação sonora individual ou implante coclear.

Métodos: revisão sistemática da literatura, baseada no guideline Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses. Levantaram-se, em bases de dados, estudos entre 1996 e 2021, que apresentavam os resultados de percepção da fala ou linguagem falada de crianças com espectro da neuropatia auditiva bilateral, sem alterações estruturais da orelha/nervo vestíbulo-coclear, ou comprometimentos associados. Os dados foram analisados descritivamente.

Revisão da Literatura: dentre 1422 estudos encontrados, 15 foram incluídos. Observou-se variabilidade no tamanho das amostras, tipos de estudos, procedimentos de avaliação e questões metodológicas. O implante coclear e o aparelho de amplificação sonora individual contribuíram para o desenvolvimento da percepção da fala e linguagem falada de crianças com espectro da neuropatia auditiva, pois foram alcançadas habilidades, como a compreensão auditiva e inteligibilidade da fala.

Conclusão: 15 estudos sugeriram que o implante coclear e o aparelho de amplificação sonora individual podem ser efetivos para o desenvolvimento da percepção da fala e linguagem falada de crianças com espectro da neuropatia auditiva sem outros comprometimentos associados. Ressalta-se a necessidade de pesquisas com alto rigor metodológico.
