背景：言语理解困难是耳鸣伴或不伴听力损失患者的一个非常常见的主诉。本研究旨在分析耳鸣是否干扰听力正常者的听觉处理和言语理解能力，目的：评估和比较听力正常者耳鸣和无耳鸣者的时间分辨力和选择性注意的听觉行为。选择45名个体，15名患有持续性耳鸣，30名没有耳鸣，并通过三项听觉处理测试进行评估：噪声中的言语测试，双耳分音数字测试和噪声中的间隙。结果：耳鸣对选择性注意和时间分辨能力无明显影响，两耳间差异无统计学意义。结论：耳鸣对选择性注意和时间分辨能力无明显影响。
BACKGROUND: speech comprehension difficulty is a very common complaint of individuals with tinnitus with and without hearing loss. This study was conducted in order to analyze if tinnitus interferes in auditory processing and speech comprehension in individuals with normal hearing levels.AIM: to asses and compare the auditory behavior of temporal resolution and selective attention of adults with normal hearing levels with and without tinnitus.METHOD: 45 individuals, 15 with continuous tinnitus and 30 without tinnitus were selected and assessed by three auditory processing tests: Speech in Noise Test, Dichotic Digits Test and Gaps in Noise. After that, the results of each group were compared by appropriated statistic's tests; one of them was ANOVA.RESULTS: there were no significant statistical differences between the groups and both ears.CONCLUSION: tinnitus did not interfere in the auditory abilities of selective attention and temporal resolution.
