Abstract

Objective

(s): This study aims to evaluate the changes in temporal auditory processing skills in children who underwent bilateral ventilation tube insertion (VTI) due to Otitis Media with Effusion (OME) and the effect of these changes on speech comprehension in noisy environments.

Methods

This is a case-control study. In total, 60 children were included in the study in two groups. The control group included 30 children aged 11 to 15, who had normal hearing thresholds and normal immitancemetric evaluation, and were not diagnosed with OME. The study group included 30 children, aged 11–15 who underwent bilateral VTI surgery after their diagnosis of OME during the ages of 3–10 and currently had normal hearing thresholds and normal immitancemetric values. Each group underwent the Turkish Matrix Test (TMT), Random Gap Detection Test (RGDT), Frequency Pattern Test (FPT), Duration Pattern Test (DPT), and Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential Test (CAEP).

Results

When the temporal processing tests (FPT, DPT, RGDT) were compared, a significant difference was obtained between the study group and the control group (p < 0.05). With the TMT, significantly lower scores were obtained in the study group compared to the control group (p < 0.01). In addition, the latency values in the cortical auditory evoked potential test were longer in the study group compared to the control group, but these results were not statistically significant (p > 0.05).

Conclusion

As a result of the study, it is concluded that the central auditory processing skills were affected in children with a history of bilateral VTI due to OME. Temporal processing tests, Turkish Matrix Test and Cortical Auditory Evoked Potential tests can be recommended as reliable and easily applicable tests, together with traditional hearing test methods in children with a history of OME, in order to evaluate comprehension skills in classroom noise.

评估有通气管病史儿童的听觉处理能力和晚期潜伏期。

目的：（s）：本研究旨在评估因患中耳炎并伴有流脓（OME）而接受双侧通气管插入术（VTI）的儿童的颞叶听觉处理能力的变化，以及这些变化对嘈杂环境下言语理解能力的影响：这是一项病例对照研究。本研究分为两组，共纳入 60 名儿童。对照组包括 30 名 11 至 15 岁的儿童，他们的听阈正常，听力评估正常，未被诊断为 OME。研究组包括30名11至15岁的儿童，他们在3至10岁期间被诊断为OME后接受了双侧VTI手术，目前听阈和听力测量值均正常。每组儿童都接受了土耳其矩阵测试（TMT）、随机间隙检测测试（RGDT）、频率模式测试（FPT）、持续时间模式测试（DPT）和皮层听觉诱发电位测试（CAEP）：将时间处理测试（FPT、DPT、RGDT）进行比较，研究组与对照组之间存在显著差异（P 0.05）：研究结果表明，因 OME 而有双侧 VTI 病史的儿童的中枢听觉处理能力受到了影响。时间处理测试、土耳其矩阵测试和皮层听觉诱发电位测试，与传统的听力测试方法一起，可作为可靠且易于应用的测试方法，推荐给有OME病史的儿童，以评估他们在课堂噪音中的理解能力。

期刊介绍： The purpose of the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology is to concentrate and disseminate information concerning prevention, cure and care of otorhinolaryngological disorders in infants and children due to developmental, degenerative, infectious, neoplastic, traumatic, social, psychiatric and economic causes. The Journal provides a medium for clinical and basic contributions in all of the areas of pediatric otorhinolaryngology. This includes medical and surgical otology, bronchoesophagology, laryngology, rhinology, diseases of the head and neck, and disorders of communication, including voice, speech and language disorders.
