| Abstract: | Purpose: to describe the results of preschooler hearing and language screening and the association between them. Methods: a study with 75 children enrolled in preschool. The language was screened with the Behavior Observation Guide for 0-to-6-Year-Old Children. The hearing of chil dren up to 1 year and 11 months old was screened with meatoscopy, acoustic immittance, behavioral hearing assessment, and otoacoustic emissions, while those in the age range 2 years or older were screened with meatoscopy, acoustic immittance, and play pure-tone audiometry. The children who failed the screening were referred for diagnosis. The results of the hearing and language assessments were compared with the McNemar test. Results: of the 75 children screened, 18 (24%) failed the hearing tests and 11 (15%) failed the language test. Hearing impairment was confirmed in 12 (66%) of those referred for diagnosis, and language impairment, in 10 (90%) of them. There was no association between hearing and language impairments (p = 0.230). Conclusion: hearing and language impairments were found in preschoolers. Although they were not associated, they can impact academic performance. This result empha sizes the need for developing strategies to implement preschooler screening programs that include hearing and language. |
