SUMMARY:

“Introduction: Audiological assessment is indispensable in the diagnostic process of children with suspected Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) because, as well as the risk of hearing loss, delayed speech development and communication difficulties can be observed in ASD. Purpose: The aim of this study was to characterize the more effective techniques and interference in audiological assessment of children with autism spectrum disorders. Method: This is a cross-sectional study with 100 individuals aged between 1 and 5 years. The children were separated in two groups: 50 children with suspected or diagnosed ASD - the ASD Group (ASD) and 50 children with typical development - the Control Group (CG). Using a form developed by the authors of this study, the strategies and Interference aspects of the audiological assessment of children with suspected and/or diagnosed ASD were analyzed. Results: Difficulties such as non-acceptance of the earphone, non-motor conditioning, crying, irritability and difficulty sleeping or staying sleeping during click ABR were more frequent in the ASD group. Compared to the ASD group, the CG children progressed earlier to audiometry techniques considered more complex (play audiometry and pure tone audiometry). In the ASD group, there was success in obtaining hearing thresholds using visual reinforcement audiometry, even for children considered to be older. Conclusion: With appropriate techniques, it is possible to carry out behavioral audiological assessments in children with ASD. In the ASD group, in the case of older children, it was possible to perform click ABR with the child awake, using screens to maintain the technical quality of the test.”
