RESUMO

Introduction. The process of audiologic evaluation is very important and dynamic. It occurs then the characterization of the auditory loss (degree, type and configuration), the determination of the necessities and expectations, the election of the hearing aid, being chosen its physical and eletroacustics characteristics. After that, the verification of the amplification prescribed during the programming of the hearing aid is carried through and, finally, the validation, to verify the effect in the auditory perception and the development of speaks. With this they stand out the importance of the diagnosis and the establishment of necessary auditory thresholds in the indication and adaptation of the hearing aid in children and the necessity of a knowledge deepened on the subject, that subsidizes the improvement of the politics and services of attention to the auditory health. Objetivo.Discribed and to argue the process of lapsing, verification and validation in the adaptation of hearing aid (Device of Individual Sonorous Amplification) for children of 3 the 36 months of age, inserted in a service of auditory health. Methodology. They had been selected and considered for it analyzes 10 citizens that were in attendance in the Centro Audição na Criança (CeAC), had been collected the data in the handbook of the service on the audiológico diagnosis, the indication and adaptation of the amplification and had been gotten given through measures in situ, audiometria with visual reinforcement with AASI and test of perception of speaks; in each specific case. From it analyzes had been chosen 2 citizens that had better allowed the quarrel of: Establishment of the auditory thresholds for the lapsing of characteristics acoustics of the AASI.The process of verification of the lapsing of the characteristics of the AASI: waited and the found one. Results. The results gotten with the quarrels of the two cases had disclosed that the determination of the audiométricos thresholds in the studied cases was determinative in the lapsing of the characteristics of the AASI. We presented different values of RECD in the two ears, being justified by the asymmetry of external acoustic meato that was visualized through the auricular mold. In the studied cases the value indicated in the software of the company does not correspond to the values gotten in the process of verification in coupler 2 cc. Reaction for the sounds was observed of says in both the casesConclusion. This study it allowed some reflections on the determination of the thresholds for the lapsing of the amplification. The mensuração of the RECD must be measured in the two ears when the anatomical difference will be visualized in the auricular mold. Adjustments of until 20dB had been necessary so that the parameters prescribed for software were gotten in the coupler 2cc. These results confirm the necessity of the process of verification in the coupler in the routine of the indication of AASI. The organization of a protocol with all the carried through procedures made possible one better understanding of the process and was basic in the decisions in such a way in the establishment of the thresholds as in the verification and validation of the characteristics of the AASI. It made possible the organization of a protocol suggestion that can contribute for the clinical interpretation of the available examinations in the first year of life
