Objective: Compare if localization of sounds and words discrimination in reverberant environment is different between children with dyslexia and controls.

Method: We studied 30 children with dyslexia and 30 controls. Sound and word localization and discrimination was studied in five angles from left to right auditory fields (-90o, -45o, 0o, +45o, +90o), under reverberant and no-reverberant conditions; correct answers were compared.

Objective: To identify the natural tendencies of hits and calculate the cutoff for a test group of central auditory processes (CAP): binaural fusion, filtered words, dichotic digits, frequency patterns and duration patterns and ambient sounds in normal 5-, 7-, 9- and 11-year-old children.

Material And Methods: We studied 369 children (738 ears) who attend public schools in Puebla City, administering 6 CAP tests (two binaural and four monaural); we used an audiometer at 50dB SL re-threshold at 1 kHz, from a CD recorded at the CCECADET-UNAM-INR (Centre for Applied Science and Technological Development at the National Autonomous University of Mexico and the National Institute for Rehabilitation).

Results: We determined the cutoff points for the six tests.
