Cochlear implants are currently the most effective technological resource to facilitate access to the hearing world for deaf people. Their use, especially when implanted early in children, reduces the impact of deafness on hearing as well as on the development of spoken language. To validate the first part of the Brazilian Scale of Hearing and Language Development (EDAL-1, in the Portuguese acronym) and to establish the normal curve in infants and children aged between 0 and 24 months old with normal hearing. This is an experimental study of a descriptive nature, conducted with 92 infants and children with normal hearing. Every infant/child was evaluated audiologically, and the EDAL-1 was applied to their parents. The responses were categorized by applying the EDAL-1 every 3 months for each child. The EDAL-1 was shown to be easily applied by the researcher and easily understood by the parents. It was possible to classify the sample every 3 months and describe the results. The average of the responses found in terms of scores for each age category shows an increasing scale following the evolution of the chronological age: 3 months-34.23 points; 6 months-54.68 points; 9 months-73 points; 12 months-82.5 points; 15 months-87 points; 18 months-91 points; 21 months-92.5 points, and 24 months-95.83 points. The normal curve for EDAL-1 was successfully established. The averages can be considered as the standard protocol for normality, serving as a reference for comparison with other populations.
人工耳蜗是目前帮助聋人融入听力世界最有效的技术手段。其使用，尤其是在儿童早期植入时，可减少耳聋对听力以及口语发展的影响。
验证巴西听力与语言发展量表（葡萄牙语首字母缩写为EDAL - 1）的第一部分，并建立0至24个月听力正常婴幼儿的正常曲线。
这是一项描述性的实验研究，对92名听力正常的婴幼儿进行。对每个婴幼儿进行听力评估，并将EDAL - 1应用于其父母。通过每3个月对每个孩子应用一次EDAL - 1对回答进行分类。
结果表明，研究人员很容易应用EDAL - 1，父母也很容易理解。每3个月对样本进行分类并描述结果是可行的。每个年龄组得分方面的回答平均值显示，随着实足年龄的增长呈上升趋势：3个月 - 34.23分；6个月 - 54.68分；9个月 - 73分；12个月 - 82.5分；15个月 - 87分；18个月 - 91分；21个月 - 92.5分，24个月 - 95.83分。
成功建立了EDAL - 1的正常曲线。这些平均值可被视为正常的标准方案，作为与其他人群进行比较的参考。
