title: Development and validation of the Logical Model of the Neonatal Hearing Screening Program

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to develop and validate the logical model of the Neonatal Hearing Screening Program in the hearing health network. Methods: a methodological developmental research aimed to build the logical model of the Neonatal Hearing Screening Program and validate its content through a “consensus conference”. The research was carried out in three stages: 1) Literature review, analysis of the normative documents, and official recommendations regarding the Neonatal Hearing Screening; 2) Development of the logical model; 3) Validation of the logical model through rounds of consultation with specialists. Results: based on the documentary analysis, the logical model was designed in three dimensions: (1) Education in Hearing Health, (2) Neonatal Hearing Screening, and (3) Administration. It was validated based on the judgment of specialists in the field. After the validation process, three variables in the “process” and one in the “structure” aspects, were adjusted, whereas another two aspects in “process” were excluded. Conclusion: the logical model presented the dimensions, activities, and results of the Neonatal Hearing Screening Program in practical and clear terms. Hence, it is useful not only to communicate and announce its results, but also to offer support to future evaluative research in the field of neonatal hearing health.

title: Self-perception of voice in transgender people

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to describe the transgender people’s self-perception of voice. Methods: a total of 60 people participated in this cross-sectional study. They attended a reference outpatient center for the health of lesbians, gays, bisexuals, and transgender people. The data collection consisted of self-administered questionnaires, a participant’s profile questionnaire, and a voice self-assessment questionnaire. Results: most of the interviewees were young people who had never visited a speech-language-hearing therapist with the Public Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde); in general, they expressed interest in having such attention. The answers revealed an impact in the axes assessed, namely: “use of the voice in social life”, “mischaracterization of gender, due to the voice”, and “indication of dysphonia". Voice symptom characteristic of dysphonia was also identified in some people. Conclusion: transgender people are unsatisfied with their voices, which is an element that hinders the perception of the identified gender. It also has repercussions in their social, emotional, labor, and interpersonal lives. Hence, it is important to include speech-language-hearing therapy in the transgendering process, which is desired by most of the transgender people.

title: Evaluation of skin sensitivity in individuals presented with temporomandibular disorder

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to identify the occurrence of a difference in skin sensitivity between analogous points on the face in individuals with temporomandibular disorder. Methods: a total of 60 individuals of both genders, aged 18 to 73 years, participated in the study. People classified with TMD signs and symptoms with the Fonseca Anamnestic Questionnaire were included. The skin sensitivity was evaluated with a Semmes-Weinstein esthesiometer. Sensitivity change was defined in this study as the occurrence of a difference between analogous points on both hemifaces. The localization of the points followed the regional block anatomical description and was confirmed with a neuromuscular electrostimulation device. The collected data were analyzed statistically with a 5% significance level. Results: the occurrence of a difference in sensitivity between the analogous points had a significant association with age group and severity of TMD. However, no association was perceived between sensitivity change and gender. Conclusion: in the population studied, the more severe the temporomandibular disorder, the greater the skin sensitivity change on the face. Also, the older the person, the higher the number of analogous points with a difference in sensitivity.

title: Speech-language-hearing follow-up of preterm children: feeding and neuropsychomotor performance

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to establish the breastfeeding rates at hospital discharge and post-discharge, analyze neuropsychomotor development, and indicate the rehabilitation referral rate of preterm children attended by speech-language-hearing therapists. Methods: a total of 39 preterm children participated in the study. They were born at a Children and Maternity Hospital between August 2016 and January 2017 and were followed up by the speech-language-hearing therapists during the hospital stay. The Spearman’s statistical test was used. The p-value was set at 0.005; the correlation value was: r = 0.10 to 0.39, weak correlation; r = 0.40 to 0.69, moderate correlation; and r = 0.70 to 1, strong correlation. Results: of the 39 participants, 17 (43.6%) were discharged on exclusive breastfeeding; 4 (10.25%), on mixed milk feeding (breast and cup); 14 (35.9%), on mixed milk feeding (breast and baby bottle); and 4 (10.25%), on artificial milk feeding - baby bottle. After introducing solid food, 12.8% remained on breastfeeding, 38.4% on mixed milk feeding, and 48.7% in artificial milk feeding. Complementary feeding was introduced at 5 months (adjusted age). Auditory, motor and language development occurred as expected in 90% of the children, considering the milestone’s adjusted age. Conclusion: at hospital discharge, most infants were on exclusive or mixed breastfeeding. After discharge, mixed breastfeeding lasted longer, and low neuropsychomotor development impairment rates and rehabilitation referral rates were observed.

title: The use of voice in higher education: What the professors have to say?

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to describe the perception of university professors regarding their use of voice at work. Methods: a total of 247 higher education professors participated in this study. They answered a questionnaire on voice complaints, in which three complaints or more were considered indicative of a voice disorder. After the professors with a potential voice disorder were identified, a conversational interview was conducted with five professors to learn more on their perceptions on the use of voice at work. The study was approved by the research ethics committee of the institution of origin. The data were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed. Results: the age group 20 to 30 years old was the one that most presented voice problems. The most recently hired professors (up to five years of work), with a 40-hour weekly workload, were those who most reported voice complaints. The professors had a good perception of their voice and demonstrated good knowledge about it. Conclusion: although voice complaints were prevalent, the professors proved to be aware of how to take care of their voices.

title: Mobile web application for use in the Extended Family Health and Primary Care Center: content and usability validation

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to validate the content and usability of the “Network NASF” application, intended for the teams of the Extended Family Health and Primary Care Center (NASF-AB). Methods: eighteen specialists, researchers, and professionals from different fields of study participated to validate the content and usability of the application, carried out in four stages: adjustment of the instrument; administration of the Suitability Assessment of Materials (SAM); validation of the content by calculating the content validity index (CVI); and usability evaluation through the System Usability Scale (SUS), in this order. Results: the participants classified the material as valid regarding both its content and usability. The index achieved in the SAM was 83.5%, as four, out of the six topics in the instrument, had values over 0.78. Hence, these four were considered excellent, while the other two were considered good. The recommendations given by the specialized judges were accepted and the usability index (5.5%) was considered relevant. Conclusion: the application developed for NASF-AB professionals was considered valid regarding its content and usability.

title: Time-compressed speech test in adults with and without central auditory processing disorders

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze and compare the performance in the time-compressed speech test and the auditory behavior of adults with and without central auditory processing disorders. Methods: an observational, analytical, cross-sectional study with a total of 40 people of both genders aged 18 to 35 years participating in the study. They were submitted to anamnesis, basic audiological assessment, and a core battery of tests for central auditory processing - including the dichotic digits test (binaural integration), frequency pattern test, and time-compressed speech test (TCST). Based on the results of the dichotic digits and frequency pattern tests, the subjects were divided into two groups, with and without central auditory processing disorders. The auditory behavior was assessed with the Scale of Auditory Behavior (SAB) questionnaire. The Mann-Whitney and Fisher’s exact tests were used for the statistical analysis, setting the significance level at p &lt; 0.05. Results: no difference in performance was found between the groups regarding the ears. There was a difference between the groups only in the time-compressed speech test with monosyllable stimuli in the left ear (p = 0.026). Monosyllables were the words that resulted in most errors. Conclusion: it was verified that only the list of stimuli influenced the performance, differing the individuals with and without central auditory processing disorders. There was an association of auditory behavior, analyzed with the SAB questionnaire, with the performance in the TCST with the list of monosyllables. It is suggested that this list be used when assessing adults by the time-compressed speech test.

title: Auditory abilities stimulation in preschoolers

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: 1) to verify the intervention effects of an informal auditory training program to stimulate auditory abilities for sound localization and sequential memory for verbal and non-verbal sounds, at school environment in a group of preschoolers; 2) to investigate the influence of the gender and age variables on the result of the Simplified Auditory Processing Test (test and retest). Methods: a prospective, analytical and intervention study developed at a Municipal School of Early Childhood Education. Fifty-one preschool children of both genders, aged between 4 and 6 years, participated in this study. To evaluate the intervention effects of the informal auditory training program, pre-and post-intervention procedures were performed, that is: meatoscopy, tympanometry and Simplified Auditory Processing Test. Appropriate statistical tests were applied, by adopting the 5% (0.05) significance level. Results: the comparison of the preschoolers’ performance on the test and retest showed a significant improvement in all auditory abilities assessed. Preschoolers showed a better performance in sound localization ability and a worse performance for sequential memory of nonverbal sounds ability, for both test and retest. Conclusion: in this population, the informal auditory training program showed to be effective and the age variable influenced the result of the Simplified Auditory Processing Test.

title: Chronic pain and depression as factors associated with temporomandibular dysfunction in older adults with Parkinson's disease

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to investigate whether chronic pain and depression are factors associated with temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) in older adults with Parkinson's disease. Methods: a cross-sectional study using the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders questionnaire. The clinical variables studied were chronic pain, depression, nonspecific physical symptoms including and excluding items of pain, and dentures use. The associations between the dependent and independent variables were evaluated by the chi-square odds ratio, with a 95% confidence interval. Results: a total of 81 older adults met the eligibility criteria - 67% were males, 74% were married or had a partner, 43% reported earning 1 to 2 minimum wages, and 47% were in the moderate stage of Parkinson's disease. TMD was identified in 22% of the sample, 12% reporting chronic pain. The statistical analysis showed an association between TMD and chronic pain (p = 0.001, OR = inf, 95% CI = 12.13 - inf) and between TMD and moderate-to-severe depression (p = 0.014, OR = 4.8, 95% CI = 1.14 - 23.51). Conclusion: it was verified that chronic pain and moderate-to-severe depression were the factors associated with TMD in older adults presented with Parkinson's disease.

title: Sustained auditory attention ability in children based on the breathing mode

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze the auditory behavior and the performance in the Sustained Auditory Attention Ability Test (SAAAT) of children with different breathing modes. Methods: a total of 30 individuals (19 males and 11 females), ranging from seven to 11 years old, participated in the research. They were distributed into nasal-breathers, mouth-breathers, and oronasal-breathers groups. The Scale of Auditory Behaviors (SAB) questionnaire was applied to those responsible for the children, so as to characterize their auditory behavior. In the SAAAT, the following error patterns were analyzed: inattention, decreased vigilance, impulsivity, and total errors. For the inferential analysis, the Mann-Whitney, chi-square, and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests were used. Results: the individuals with mouth- and oronasal-breathing modes had more complaints in the SAB questionnaire when compared with nasal-breathers. Regarding the SAAAT, it was found that the age group of seven to eight years was the one that had the worst performance in the test. The groups with oral and oronasal breathing had more errors, with a statistically significant difference between the groups for inattention and total errors. Conclusion: it can be concluded that individuals with oral and oronasal breathing had more complaints in the auditory behavior and worse performance in the SAAAT, especially for inattention and total errors.

title: Transcultural translation and adaptation of the Assessment Battery for Communication (ABaCo) for the Portuguese population

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to perform the transcultural adaptation and translation of the ABaCo battery for the Portuguese population and check its psychometric properties. Methods: initially, the translation and retroversion of ABaCo was done. A total of 40 participants without pathology were recruited. Two equivalent Forms (Form A and Form B) were used, consisting of linguistic, extralinguistic, paralinguistic and context scales. The instrument was also applied to 12 people who were in the chronic phase after severe or moderate traumatic brain injury (TBI). For statistical analysis the following tests were used: Mann-Whitney U test, Student t test for independent samples, Pearson's correlation (the value is considered significant when p ≤ 0.05) and Cronbach's alpha (the value is considered minimally acceptable when superior to 0.65). Results: TBIs’ participants showed lower results as compared to those without neurological pathology. The evidence was discriminatory for the population with TBI, although, on some scales, it was not, due to the ceiling effect. Differences were not found between the two Forms. The results also showed the existence of correlation of schooling and age with some of the components of ABaCo, as verified in the original version. No differences in gender-conditioned responses were found. The battery showed good metrical qualities with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.90 (Form A) and 0.71 (Form B), for the total sample. Conclusion: ABaCo has proved to be an appropriate instrument for assessing communication in the Portuguese adult population. Despite the limitations, this instrument is expected to be useful in the evaluation of the communication, following TBI.

title: Educational institutions as a field for speech-language-hearing research: an analysis of publications in brazilian journals

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to analyze and characterize the speech-language-hearing publications that have Brazilian educational institutions as their field. Methods: all the national active and inactive speech-language-hearing journals were accessed to analyze the titles and abstracts of all articles that referred to research in educational institutions. Articles addressing speech-language-hearing issues, developed in educational institutions, and published in the journals analyzed were selected. The articles found were categorized and analyzed. The categories considered the journal of publication, year of publication, the speech-language-hearing field of knowledge they approached, research context/type of educational institution, target audience, and procedures conducted in the educational institutions. Then, a descriptive statistical analysis was carried out. Results: the largest amount of research made in Brazilian educational institutions was published in CEFAC, in 2015. Such studies were mainly related to the field of language, most of them conducted with elementary school students, to collect data on their assessment and/or diagnosis. Conclusion: national speech-language-hearing research conducted in educational institutions has privileged practices in the fields of language and voice, in elementary school, with students and teachers.

title: Effect of spectral overlays on visual parameters and reading ability: an integrative review

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to provide an integrative review of indexed articles published from 2009 to 2019 on the effect of spectral overlays on visual parameters and reading ability. Methods: keywords were used to search seven databases. Duplicate entries, reviews, literature reviews, editor's comments, and congress abstracts were excluded, as well as papers that were not relevant, based on their titles and abstracts. A total of 52 articles, which were read in full, were eligible at this stage. Of these, 12 articles, published in Portuguese or English from 2009 to 2019, were included. Results: all 12 articles included evaluated the effect of overlays on the reading rate. There was an improvement in different visual parameters (ocular accommodation and eye movement), facial recognition, and reading (reading rate, relative efficiency, and comprehension). The use of overlays reduced visual stress regardless of refractive, orthoptic or cognitive disorders. The associated conditions investigated were autism spectrum disorder, Tourette syndrome, stroke, deafness, dyslexia, and auditory temporal processing disorder. Conclusion: the effectiveness of overlays in improving reading quality is consistently demonstrated in the literature. The reviewed articles showed that the overlays’ effect is more expressive when the visual stress is associated with conditions that present sensory alterations and cortical hyperactivity.

title: Relation between acoustic analysis of swallowing and the presence of pharyngeal residue and penetration/aspiration in resistant hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnea

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to evaluate the relationship between acoustic analysis of swallowing sounds and the presence of pharyngeal residue and penetration/aspiration detected by fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing in resistant hypertensive patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Methods: an observational study in which resistant hypertensive individuals diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea participated through the all-night polysomnography exam. The participants underwent an acoustic analysis of swallowing sounds, using a Doppler sonar and simultaneously a fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing. The acoustic parameters analyzed were initial frequency, initial intensity, first peak frequency, second peak frequency, final intensity and swallowing time. Independent samples of t-test and Mann-Whitney test were used for statistical analysis. The level of statistical significance adopted was 5%. Results: eighty five participants with average age of 58.3±6.3 years were evaluated. There was a statistically significant difference between groups with and without pharyngeal residue, in relation to the following parameters of swallowing acoustic signal: initial frequency and intensity, second peak frequency, final intensity and swallowing time. Only 10 milliliters of pudding consistency showed a statistically significant difference in the second peak frequency of the acoustic signal of swallowing between groups with and without penetration/aspiration. Conclusion: a relationship between measurements of swallowing acoustic signal and pharyngeal residue in this population was found, but not between swallowing sounds and penetration/aspiration.

title: Audiological assessment and otoacoustic emissions in patients with head and neck cancer

description: ABSTRACT Purpose: to describe the audiological and otoacoustic emission findings in patients who had head and neck cancer and compare them with individuals without the disease. Methods: a comparative, cross-sectional, observational study encompassing two groups: Study: individuals with a history of head and neck cancer, submitted to chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy; Control: individuals without the disease. The sample comprised 23 individuals in each group, matched for age and gender. Procedures in which the groups were compared: meatoscopy; pure-tone threshold and high-frequency audiometry; speech audiometry; transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions. Statistical tests: Pearson’s chi-square; Fisher’s exact; two-proportion Z-test; Wilcoxon; Mann-Whitney; Student’s t-test. Results: the comparison between the groups revealed statistically significant differences at the 3, 6, 8, 10, and 12.5 kHz frequencies in the pure-tone threshold audiometry, with better pure-tone auditory thresholds in the control group. No significant differences were observed between the groups in the otoacoustic emissions regarding the general response and frequency band. Conclusion: individuals with a history of head and neck cancer had higher pure-tone auditory thresholds than their controls, especially at the higher frequencies. This evidences the deleterious effect of ototoxicity on the peripheral auditory system of adults. The otoacoustic emissions were similar in the two groups.
