Summary/Abstract: Communication and speech pathology in children is determined mostly by hearing loss and less frequently by neurological or psychological disorders. The pure tone hearing and the capacity of sound discrimination and voice perception are determinant in speech intelligibility and development of speech production, important factors conditioning cognitive and school performances and social integration. A particular condition is ANSD (auditory neuropathy spectrum disorders) with a rising prevalence in last years. Despite the good tonal hearing, these children cannot reach normal speech and cognitive development.
