RESUMO

The cleft lip and palate is a congenital craniofacial malformation characterized by the lip and/or palate not joining. Several consequences can occur from this rupture such as alterations in speech, swallowing, chewing, dental and hearing. As a result of this, these patients need to undergo reconstructive surgeries, and the age it will happen is fundamental for the development of the auditory and orofacial functions to be within expected levels or close to them. There is great relation between the fissure and alterations of the middle ear, having as consequence the momentaneous sensory deprivation, or even the hearing deficiency. Sensory deprivation causes damage to the development of the auditory abilities and sequentially to the language and speech development. In view of what has been stated, the objective of this work was to verify the auditory sustained, divided and selective attention, and phonological awareness ability in children with cleft palate with intervention between the ages of 9 and 12 months. 40 subjects were evaluated, aged between seven and 11 years of age, with cleft palate, without auditory deficiency, who had received primary palatoplasty between the 9 and 12 months of age. We evaluated the auditory sustained, divided and selective abilities, and phonological awareness by means of THAAS, DD, PSI and CONFIAS, respectively. The results were abnormal in 22 (55%), 18 (45%), 13 (32.5%) and three (7.5%) for respective tests THAAS, DD, PSI and CONFIAS. Correlation was found only between PSI, and CONFIAS tests (p=0,02895). We can conclude that higher percentages of performance within expected for age occurred for the tests of auditory divided attention (DD) and selective attention (PSI). The THAAS was the test of auditory attention with bigger alteration. Few patients presented alterations in the test that evaluated the phonological awareness ability.
