title: Evaluation of the auditory system of farm workers exposed to pesticides

description: Purposes to evaluate the peripheral auditory system, by means of pure tone audiometry for farmers living in areas of heavy use of pesticides in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Methods 70 individuals of genders, 35 farmers and 35 non-farmers, with ages between 25 and 59 years, residents Campos dos Goytacazes, were enrolled into the study. All subjects had their peripheral hearing evaluated by means of pure tone audiometry at frequencies of 250, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 6,000 and 8,000 Hz. Individuals with alterations in external and middle ear and/or with a otologic complaint were excluded from the study. In addition, interview was conducted regarding health issues, socioeconomic status, education and exposure to pesticides. Hearing loss was considered if hearing thresholds were equal or more than 25 dB at any frequency tested. Results the Odds Ratio of hearing loss was 3.67 times (95% CI: 2.08 - 6.48) higher among agricultural workers (94.3%) when compared to non-agricultural workers (25.7%). Furthermore, most of the hearing alterations were observed in the higher frequencies. Conclusion this study suggests that the agricultural activity and possible exposure to pesticides increases the risk of hearing loss.

title: Listeners? preferences regarding the regional accent on formal and informal communication context

description: Purpose to analyze the preferences of listeners as the regional accent and accent softened in the context of formal and informal communication. Methods three TV news presenter recorded vehicle-phrases in situations of regional and soft accent. The recordings were presented to 105 judges, who heard pairs of words and asked which of the two pronunciations preferred to talk about television news presenters (formal context), for native speakers of the local community (informal context) and to the speech itself (context informal). Results the presence of listeners preferred the understated accent in a formal context (presentation of television news in all language variants studied (p &lt;0.0001) and, on the other hand, preferred the presence of regional accents (p &lt;0.0001) in informal context. however, speaks for itself, within the informal context, there was a general preference for regional accent or understated, statistical significance only for palatalization of / S / in medial coda (p &lt;0.0001) and not palatalization of dental (p &lt;0.0001), both characteristics of regional accents, and the non-occurrence of monophthongization (p &lt;0.0001) and matching vowel (p &lt;0.0001), characterized as understated accent. Conclusion listeners prefer to speaks with an accent softened in a formal communication but prefer the regional accent within an informal context, especially in less educated speakers.

title: Vocal self-assessment and auditory-perceptual assessment of voice in women with thyroid disease

description: Purpose to compare the vocal self-assessment and auditory-perceptual assessment of voice in women with thyroid disease. Methods the study was performed in 40 female patients, mean age of 49,50±10,40 years, using a visual-analogue scale (EAV) to perform the vocal self-assessment of voice and auditory-perceptual analysis by speech and language pathologist. The patient considered the usual emission of voice in its self-assessment and for the vocal analysis by speech and language pathologist voice samples was recorded with the patient emission of 1 to 20 counting. Descriptive analysis considered mean, median and standard deviation. It was used the Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests to compare means and the Spearman test to verify correlation between voice evaluations.The level of significance was 5%. Results 19 (47.5%) patients reported complaints of dysphonia. Means and standard deviations of the VAS patient and the VAS speech therapist were 32.58 ± 27.99 and 37.23 ± 15.92, respectively, with no statistically significant difference. Patients with vocal complaint had worse scores on self-assessment when compared with those who did not complain. There was no statistically significant difference between these groups in terms of perceptual assessment. There was no statistically significant correlation between the perception that the individual has over her voice and speech therapist assessment. Conclusion there was no difference between means of vocal self-assessment and auditory-perceptual assessment by the speech and language pathologist; vocal self-assessment was worse in patients with vocal complaints; there was no correlation between evaluations.

title: Signs and symptoms of the autonomic dysfunction in teachers

description: Purpose to compare signs of general autonomic dysfunction related to the voice in teachers with and without complaints. Methods adhibition of the Questionnaire of Autonomic Dysfunction (QAD) in 83 teachers, including 60 women and 23 men, with an average age of 37,6. The participants were distributed in two groups, with or without voice complaints, defined according to number of symptoms marked in the Protocol of Signs and Voices Symptoms. Results the group with voice complaints presented an average of 13,7 symptoms in the QAD of autonomic dysfunction and the group without complaints 7,7 (p=0,001). Considering only voice related neurovegetative signs, the group with complaints presented an average of 4,7 symptoms and the group without complaints 1,8 (p&lt;0,001). When compared to the group without voice complaints the most predominant voice related symptoms in the group with voice complaints were: fatigability when speaking (p&lt;0,001), need of constantly swallowing (p=0,014), sore throat (p=0,001), neck pain while speaking (p=0,003), temporomandibular pain or discomfort (p=0,017), constant need to yawn (p=0,023), frequent throat clearing (p=0,010) and tension in the head while speaking (p=0,019). The symptoms observed in the group without complaints were: nose obstruction (33,3%), difficulty breathing through the nose (29,2%) and sneezing (25%). Conclusion the group with voice complaints showed more number of neurovegetative symptoms, particularly on issues related to the voice, than the group without complaints.

title: Speech language pathology and audiology as a higher education option: exploratory study

description: Purpose to identify factors that led Speech and Language Pathology and Audiology students to choose the career as well as the information they would have liked to receive before entering College. Methods exploratory, descriptive, cross-sectional study. SLP-Audiology students of undergraduate courses in the University of São Paulo (Bauru, São Paulo and Ribeirão Preto campus) and graduate students (Bauru campus) were asked to complete, anonymously, an online questionnaire consisting of 10 questions about their career choices and about the sources and adequacy of information regarding the SLP-Audiology profession before college entrance examination. Results the questionnaire was answered 201 individuals (144 undergraduates and 57 graduates). SLP-Audiology was the first career option for 119 (59.2%) of the participants. Interest in the profession was the motivator of choice for 42% of the participants. For 58% of respondents, the University status, the candidate/vacancy ratio and the influence of family members, among others, led to the SLP-Audiology career choice. Profession guides were the main sources of information and 80% of respondents were not satisfied with the information received before entering College, most indicating they would like to learn more about the areas where SLP-Audiologists can work. Conclusion factors unrelated to career affinity where the motivator for the choice of SLP-Audiology profession for most participants. There is need to intensify the information process about this career especially among high school students.

title: Monitoring for newborn hearing screening programmes: an integrative review

description: In Brazil, hearing loss diagnosis does not occur in early years. Among various factors that could explain this fact is that the parents do not know well about hearing health for their children, and then do not attend for the follow-up. This literature review had as main goal to describe how the follow up has been done in Brazil, especially regarding to the audiologic exams, regarding to the follow up by the family, and regarding to educations activities for the health professionals. In order to achieve that, an integrative review of the literature was done, leaded by the question: How the audiologic follow up has been done for the newborn hearing screening programs? It was used the the following databases: Lilacs, Medline, IBECS and CidSaúde using combinations of the terms “follow-up studies”, “hearing” and “newborn screening”. Initially, 1130 articles were screened by titles and abstracts. Then, 21 full articles were pre-selected by title and summary. Twelve articles answered the question of this review. The results indicated that tests for hearing screening and audiologic were used more Evoked otoacoustic emissions and auditory brainstem response, and behavioral assessment, tympanometry and acoustic reflexes. Three studies reported the presence of educational programs and only one specified professionals realized that, being the nurse what else made these activities. The percentage of families who joined the monitoring varied considerably. It was interesting to see that those recommendations from local and international entities to perform the audiologic, seeking a standard of quality and effectiveness in the programs and the quality of the audiological evaluation.

title: The generalization through the treatment with fricatives: favorable environments versus unfavorable and neutral environments

description: The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the occurrence and the types of generalization observed through the treatment of the fricatives /z/, /ʃ/ and /ʒ/ in two groups of children, one using words with favorable phonological contexts and another with unfavorable and neutral contexts. Six children with phonological disorder between 4:7 and 7:8 year-old participated in the study, with their parents’ authorization. There were speech-language and complementary evaluations to diagnose the phonological disorder. The subjects were matched according to the severity of the phonological disorder, sex, age and aspects of the phonological system in relation to the altered phonemes. Half the children were treated with words in which the phonemes /z/, /ʃ/ and /ʒ/ were in favorable phonological environments and the other half with unfavorable and neutral environments. There were eight sessions and, after them, a new speech evaluation was performed in order to verify the types of generalization that were obtained. The generalization percentages were compared between the groups by statistical test Mann-Whitney (p&lt;0.05). At the end of therapy, it was observed an increasing in generalization percentage for all the subjects. In the comparison between the groups, no statistical difference was found to the analyzed generalizations. However, there was an advantage to for the favorable group regarding to the generalizations “to another position in the word” and “inside a sound class”. The obtained results can be related to the small number of subjects or to other factors mentioned in the article.
