| Sumario: | INTRODUCTION: Central Auditory Processing (CAP) refers to the way the central auditory nervous system processes and utilizes auditory information. It is a multidimensional brain function essential for auditory comprehension. The auditory skills involved in CAP include sound localization, auditory figure-ground, binaural integration and separation, temporal ordering and resolution, binaural interaction, and auditory closure. In Brazil, when one of these skills is impaired, it is diagnosed as Central Auditory Processing Disorder, identified through specific behavioral tests that assess each auditory skill. Spatial hearing is another crucial auditory skill, involving the interpretation of the spatial pathways through which sounds reach the listener. Three instruments related to spatial hearing are available, namely: Listening in Spatialized Noise (LiSN), the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ49) and its short 12-item version (SSQ12), and the Spatial Hearing Questionnaire (SHQ). The LiSN is currently being translated and adapted into Brazilian Portuguese but has not yet been completed. The SSQ, although already translated and adapted into Brazilian Portuguese, is a questionnaire that does not exclusively assess spatial hearing. Therefore, due to the scarcity of validated instruments, this skill is seldom investigated in Brazil. Hyperacusis, in turn, is an intolerance to loud sounds, often associated with an abnormal perception of sound intensity. Recent studies show a relationship between hyperacusis and the skills involved in CAP, including spatial hearing. Individuals with hyperacusis, both adults and children, tend to avoid noisy environments, which can lead to social isolation. It is important for health professionals, such as speech-language pathologists and otolaryngologists, to have a thorough understanding of hyperacusis to provide accurate guidance to patients, helping to minimize the associated detriments and improve the quality of life of individuals with this condition. |
