RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: Auditory processing depends on the auditory pathways integrity. Efferent auditory system may be assessed in humans by two non-invasive and objective methods: acoustic reflex and otoacoustic emissions suppression. OBJECTIVE: Analyze efferent auditory system activity by otoacoustic emissions suppression and acoustic reflex sensitization in human subjects with auditory processing disorders. METHOD: Fifty children with auditory processing disorders (study group) and thirty-eight children without auditory processing disorders (control group) have being evaluated using clicks otoacoustic emission suppression with and without ipsilateral and contralateral white noise; tone bursts otoacoustic emission suppression in 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz with and without contralateral white noise and acoustic reflex in 500, 1000, 2000 and 4000 Hz with and without ipsilateral and contralateral facilitator. RESULTS: The higher clicks otoacoustic emission suppression was up to 1.50 dB for the control group and up to 1.26 dB for the study group. The higher tone burst otoacoustic emission was up to 2.69 dB for the control group and up to 2.79 dB for the study group. The higher acoustical reflex sensitization was up to 18.17 dB for the study group and up to 17.38 dB for the control group. There was no significant statistical difference between results for control group and study group to otoacoustic emission suppression (except for 2000 Hz) and acoustical reflex sensitization. CONCLUSION: Study group presented smaller otoacoustic emission suppression than control group and study group presented higher acoustical reflex sensitization than control group.
