          Abstract

          Introduction

          Hearing loss may impair the development of a child. The rehabilitation process for individuals with hearing loss depends on effective interventions.

          Objective

          To describe the linguistic profile and the hearing skills of children using hearing aids, to characterize the rehabilitation process and to analyze its association with the children's degree of hearing loss.

          Methods

          Cross-sectional study with a non-probabilistic sample of 110 children using hearing aids (6–10 years of age) for mild to profound hearing loss. Tests of language, speech perception, phonemic discrimination, and school performance were performed. The associations were verified by the following tests: chi-squared for linear trend and Kruskal–Wallis.

          Results

          About 65% of the children had altered vocabulary, whereas 89% and 94% had altered phonology and inferior school performance, respectively. The degree of hearing loss was associated with differences in the median age of diagnosis; the age at which the hearing aids were adapted and at which speech therapy was started; and the performance on auditory tests and the type of communication used.

          Conclusion

          The diagnosis of hearing loss and the clinical interventions occurred late, contributing to impairments in auditory and language development.

          Resumo

          Introdução

          A deficiência auditiva pode comprometer o desenvolvimento infantil. O processo de reabilitação dos indivíduos com perda auditiva depende de intervenções eficientes.

          Objetivo

          Descrever o perfil linguístico e as habilidades auditivas de usuários de Aparelho de Amplificação Sonora Individual (AASI), caracterizar o processo de intervenção fonoaudiológica e analisar sua relação com o grau da perda auditiva das crianças.

          Método

          Estudo transversal com amostra não-probabilística composta por 110 crianças de 6 a 10 anos de idade, com perda auditiva de grau leve a profundo, usuárias de AASI. Foram realizados testes de linguagem, percepção de fala, discriminação fonêmica e desempenho escolar. As associações foram verificadas pelos testes χ2 de tendência linear e Kruskal-Wallis.

          Resultados

          Cerca de 65% das crianças apresentavam alteração do vocabulário, 89% de fonologia e 94% tiveram desempenho escolar considerado inferior. O grau da perda auditiva mostrou-se associado a diferenças nas medianas das idades de diagnóstico, de adaptação do AASI e de início da fonoterapia; do tempo entre diagnóstico e adaptação do aparelho auditivo; ao resultado dos testes auditivos e ao tipo de comunicação utilizada.

          Conclusão

          Independentemente do grau de perda auditiva, o diagnóstico e as intervenções necessárias ocorreram tardiamente, com prejuízo das habilidades linguísticas e auditivas destas crianças.
