Deficits in one or more of these skills characterize central auditory processing disorder. Given the presence of this disorder, auditory training is indicated as a set of strategies designed to activate the auditory system and improve the processing of acoustic signals. Electrophysiological measures such as cortical auditory evoked potential may serve as a valuable supplement to the behavioral assessment of auditory processing. When associated with noise, temporal masking is assessed. It is characterized as an alteration in the perception of a sound in the presence of another auditory stimulus. Individuals with this disorder are more susceptible to post-masking effects due to difficulties in understanding speech in noisy environments. This study reports the case of a 25-year-old adult diagnosed with central auditory processing disorder who underwent cortical auditory evoked potentials using speech stimulus preceded by noise. The acoustically controlled auditory training was conducted over 10 sessions, using the \"Afinando o Cérebro\" platform. Following intervention, improvements were observed in the participant's auditory skills, along with reductions in the latencies of the P1, N1 and P2 waves and in the N1-P1 and N1-P2 peak-to-peak amplitudes. These findings highlight the effects of acoustically controlled auditory training and contribute to a better understanding of the neurophysiological mechanisms involved in speech perception in noise among individuals with central auditory processing disorder.","PeriodicalId":46547,"journal":{"name":"CoDAS","volume":"38 3","pages":"e20250206"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13075958/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147692971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, the content was developed based on the analysis of two systematic reviews with high quality evidence to identify the main aspects to be assessed in acute vocal fatigue. Then, a committee of five voice experts - all with more than ten years of clinical and scientific experience - was formed to assess the relevance of the selected items, using a Likert-type scale in an online form. Overall content validity indexes (CVI) and item validity indexes (CVI-I) were calculated to assess the relevance of the items.Results: The data indicated that the clinical presentation of acute vocal fatigue can be assessed in three dimensions: the level of self-reported fatigue, physical discomfort, and restriction in voice use. These items were included in the scale, which also included an anamnesis section to characterize the patient and their vocal demands. In the first round of evaluation, a CVI of 0.96 was obtained, with CVI-I ranging from 0.8 to 1.0. After suggested adjustments, the second round presented CVI and CVI-I equal to 1.00.Conclusion: The items of the AFA-Voz Scale were considered excellent regarding their relevance for the evaluation of acute vocal fatigue.

Statistical analyses were performed using nonparametric tests, adopting a 95% confidence interval and a significance level of p < 0.05.Results: The highest performance was observed in the MLV condition in quiet, although this condition also showed greater response variability, suggesting a potential influence of evaluator-related characteristics. Performance in the MLV-in-noise and recorded-audio-in-quiet conditions was comparable, indicating that noise in live speech has an impact similar to changing the presentation mode from live to recorded speech. The lowest performance was observed in the recorded-in-noise condition, indicating that the combined effect of background noise and the absence of acoustic cues inherent to live speech negatively affects auditory performance.
