Evaluation of speech in noise abilities in school children

Communicative situations in our daily lives often occur in noise environments, competing with speech, especially in the school environment, inside and outside the classroom. The perception of speech in noise is one of the most complex tasks faced by listeners, being influenced by hearing thresholds and also the analysis of the temporal characteristics such as pitch, time and timbre of speech sounds1. Children are particularly vulnerable to the effects of noise in speech perception, yet little is known about the relationship mechanism between core processes and the perception of speech in noise2.
