to investigate the test-retest reliability of the AudBility program in typically developing children aged six-seven years.
29 children, male and female, right-handed, native Portuguese speakers and adequate school performance for the age group studied, underwent previous meatoscopy, immittance measurements and the AudBility program was applied, composed of a self-perception questionnaire and auditory tasks, being analyzed the abilities of sound localization, auditory closure, figure-ground, dichotic digits test, temporal resolution, and temporal ordering of frequency and duration. The program was designed and reapplied with an interval of one week under the same conditions. The performance in each task was presented from central tendency and dispersion data and was conducted using the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC), based on the 95% confidence interval (CI).
The analyses showed a positive and significant ICC (p<0.01) for the questionnaire and auditory tasks, except for auditory closure, in the right and left ears and figure-ground in the left ear. The questionnaire mean ICC was 0.742 and ranged from -0.012 to 0.698 for the auditory tasks.
Based on mean results and upper limit of the CI, the findings showed agreement between moments, classified as good for the questionnaire and moderate to good for five of the seven auditory analyzed tasks (ICC>0.05 and <0.9). The results of the reliability study represent an important parameter for validating the program for the studied age group.
调查 AudBility 程序在 6-7 岁正常发育儿童中的重测信度。
29 名儿童，男女不限，右利手，母语为葡萄牙语，且在研究年龄组中的学业表现良好，接受过先前的耳镜检查、声导抗测量和 AudBility 程序测试，该程序由自我感知问卷和听觉任务组成，分析了声音定位、听觉闭合、图形-背景、双耳分听数字测试、时间分辨率和频率及时长的时间顺序能力。该程序在相同条件下，间隔一周进行设计和重新应用。每个任务的表现均采用集中趋势和离散数据进行呈现，并使用基于 95%置信区间（CI）的组内相关系数（ICC）进行分析。
分析显示，问卷和听觉任务（除了右耳和左耳的听觉闭合以及左耳的图形-背景）的 ICC 为正且显著（p<0.01）。问卷的平均 ICC 为 0.742，而听觉任务的平均 ICC 范围为-0.012 至 0.698。
基于平均结果和 CI 的上限，发现两个时间点之间存在一致性，问卷的一致性被归类为良好，而对于七个分析的听觉任务中的五个任务，一致性为中等至良好（ICC>0.05 且<0.9）。该可靠性研究的结果为该程序在研究年龄组中的有效性提供了重要参数。
