| Popis: | Objective To identify the natural tendencies of hits and calculate the cut-off for a test group of central auditory processes (CAP): binaural fusion, filtered words, dichotic digits, frequency patterns and duration patterns, and ambient sounds in normal 5-, 7-, 9-, and 11-year-old children. Material and methods We studied 369 children (738 ears) who attend public schools in Puebla City, administering 6 CAP tests (2 binaural and 4 monaural); we used an audiometer at 50 dB SL re-threshold at 1 kHz, from a CD recorded at the CCECADET-UNAM-INR (Centre for Applied Science and Technological Development at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and the National Institute for Rehabilitation). Results We determined the cut-off points for the 6 tests. Conclusion This information represents an advance in the normative standards in the field of psychoacoustic tests for CAP in Spanish and in the socio-educational context prevalent in Mexico. It is important to evaluate these results against CAP disorders. |
