    Objective: This study aimed to compare the baseline transient otoacoustic emission (t-OAE) amplitudes and medial olivo-cochlear (MOC) efferent activity in children with specific learning disability (SLD) and children with normal development.Methods: The study was conducted in two groups. The patient group included 30 children aged 6 to 10 years and diagnosed with SLD, and the control group included 30 children in the same age range without SLD. The patient group included eight males and 22 females, and the control group included 14 females and 16 males. t-OAE and contralateral suppression test were performed in both groups.Results: In the first t-OAE measurements, a statistically significant difference was observed between the patient and the control group at frequencies of 1400, 2000, 2800, and 4000 Hz, but no such difference was observed at 1000 Hz frequency. In the control group, significantly better emission amplitudes were observed. No differences were found at any frequency between the patient and the control groups after suppression. When the subjects in the two groups were compared among themselves, there was a statistically significant difference between the before and after suppression scores in the patient group except at 4000 Hz. Likewise, an important difference was also observed in all frequencies in the control group.Conclusion: This study shows that suppression effects of t-OAE on children diagnosed with SLD and children with no SDL are not significantly different

    Amaç: Bu çalışmada, özellikle okul çağındaki çocuklarda, özel öğrenme güçlüğü tanısı koymak için psikiyatrik, medikal ve psiko-pedogojik durumun kapsamlı olarak incelenmesini içermenin gerekliliğinin yanı sıra işitsel değerlendirmenin önemini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya Mayıs-Haziran 2016 aylarında Özel Emine Demirel Özel Eğitim ve Rehabilitasyon Merkezi’nde kamu hastanelerinden yada üniversite hastanelerinden engelli sağlık kurulu raporu ile özel öğrenme güçlüğü teşhisi almış kayıtlı 6-10 yaş arası 30 çocuk hasta grubuna ve Mayıs-Haziran 2016 aylarında Özel Yeni Bilim Ilkokulu’nda eğitim alan ‘Gesell Gelişim Figürleri Testi’ , ‘Bender Gestalt Görsel Motor Algılama Testi’ ile özel öğrenme güçlüğü olmadığı tespit edilmiş 6-10 yaş arası 30 çocuk kontrol grubuna alınmıştır. Grupların hepsine öncelikle bir KBB uzmanı tarafından otoskopik muayene yapılmış ve gerekli olduğu durumlarda dış kulak yolunda bulunan buşon temizlenmiştir. Muayeneden geçen bireylere daha sonra Saf Ses Odyometri, Konuşma Odyometrisi, Akustik İmmitansmetrik İnceleme, Geçici Uyarılmış Otoakustik Emisyon (TEOAE) Ölçümü ve TEOAE ile MOK Refleks Ölçümü uygulanarak odyolojik değerlendirmeler yapıldı. Demografik veriler ve ölçümlerden elde edilen veriler SPSS 23.0 (IBM Corparation, Armonk, New York, United States) programı kullanıldı. Verilerin analizinde ANOVA Test, Kruskal Wallis Testi, Pearson Korelasyon ve Ki-Kare test istatistiği kullanıldı. Değişkenler %95 güven düzeyinde incelenmiş olup p değeri 0,05 ten küçük anlamlı kabul edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmamızda yer alan kontrol grubunun %46’sı kızlardan, %53,3’ü erkeklerden oluşurken, hasta grubunun ise %26,7’si kızlardan, %73,3’ü erkeklerden oluşmaktadır. Ayrıca kontrol grubunun ortalama yaşı 7,66 ±0,92 yıl ve hasta grubunun ise ortalama yaşı 8,26 ± 1,05’dir. Hasta ve kontrol grubu hastaların sağ ve sol kulağa ait işitme seviyesi bütün frekanslarda işitme eşikleri kontrol grubunda daha iyi bulunmuştur. Bu fark sağ kulakta 1000 Hz ve 2000 Hz hariç bütün frekanslar için istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olurken, sol kulakta bu fark 500 Hz ve 2000 Hz hariç bütün frekanslar için istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur. ‘Reproduktivite’ kontrol grubu olgularda sağ kulakta 79,70±4,35 ve sol kulakta 77,63±4,22 olarak hesaplanırken, hasta grubunda yer alan olgularda veriler sağ kulakta 67,40±5,26 ve sol kulakta 67,13±4,92 olarak olarak bulunmuştur. Hasta ve kontrol gruplarının sağ kulağa ait TEOAE ve Supresyonlu TEOAE amplitüd değerleri her iki grup arasında 1000 Hz ve 2800 Hz’de aralarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmazken 1400 Hz,2000 Hz ve 4000 Hz’de her iki grup arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunduğu belirlendi. Sol kulakta ise her iki gruparasında sadece 1000 Hz’de aralarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmazken 1400 Hz, 2000 Hz, 2800 Hz ve 4000 Hz’de her iki grup arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunduğu saptandı. Her iki grubun sağ ve sol kulak da SUPSNR verilerinde iki grup arasında 1000 Hz, 2000 Hz ve 2800 Hz aralarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmazken, 1400 Hz ve 4000 Hz her iki grup arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunduğu belirlendi. Sonuç: Çalışma sonucunda özel öğrenme güçlüğü olan çocuklarda işitsel fonksiyonların bozuk olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen bu verilerin, literatür ile uyumlu olduğu görülmüştür. Objective: In this study, especially in school-age children, psychiatric for diagnosing specific learning disability, medical and psycho-pedagogical as well the situation of inclusion to be studied in detail the requirements as aimed to demonstrate the importance of the visual assessment. Methods: The study in the May-June 2016 month Special Emine Demirel Special Education and Rehabilitation Center public hospitals or university hospitals impaired health report with specific learning difficulties to diagnose received registered 6-10 years old 30 child patients and May-June 2016 months special New Science Primary School in the field of education 'Gesell Developmental Test Figures', 'Bender Visual Motor Gestalt Test' with specific learning difficulties between 6-10 years old have been found to be 30 children were the control group. otoscopic examination by an otolaryngologist all the priorities of the group and made the plug of the outer ear which has been cleaned where necessary. then the examination of the individual pure tone audiometry, speech audiometry, acoustic İmmitansmetrik Review, transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) applying the MOC reflex measurements with measurement and TEOAE audiological evaluations were performed. Demographic data and data obtained from measurements using SPSS 23.0 (IBM Corporation, Armonk, New York, United States) program was used. In data analysis ANOVA test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson correlation test and chi-square statistics were used. The variables were analyzed in the 95% confidence level and p-value less than 0.05 was considered significant ones. Results: 46% of the control group patients in our study area, the URL of women, are composed of 53.3% men, 26.7% of patients were female, 73.3% consists of men. In addition, a control group of patients with a mean age of 7.66 ± 0.92 years and the average age of the patients was 8.26 ± 1.05 in patients. Patient Ear and Hearing Aide Level of the right and left of the control group patients in the control group were better hearing thresholds at all frequencies. This difference is statistically significant, while all frequencies except for 1000 Hz and 2000 Hz in the right ear, left ear, this difference was statistically significant for all frequencies except the 500 Hz and 2,000 Hz. 'Reproductivity' cases in the control group 79.70 ± 4.35 in the right ear and left ear was calculated as 77.63 ± 4.22, in cases where data on patients in the right ear, left ear 67.40 ± 5.26 and 67.13 ± It was found to be 4.92. Patient and of the right ear of the control group TEOAE and suppression of TEOAE amplitude values between the two groups at 1000 Hz and 2800 Hz between statstically significant relationship there was no 1400 Hz, 2000 Hz and 4000 Hz was determined that no significant relationshipbetween the two groups . On the left ear in both groups only between 1000 Hz there was no significant relationship between statstically as 1400 Hz, 2000 Hz, 2800 Hz and 4000 Hz was found a statistically significant relationship between the two groups. 1000 between the two groups on the right and left ear contains the Supsa data in two groups Hz, 2000 Hz and 2800 Hz between statstically significant relationship is absent, 1400 Hz and 4000 Hz was determined that there is a significant relationship between the two groups. Conclusion: The auditory function in children with specific learning difficulties in the results of the study were found to be defective. The obtained data were shown to be consistent with the literature
