Abstract

The SNAC has several functions, among them are the location, lateralization and discrimination of children. Sound lateralization is one of the main non-everyday choices, since it allows searching and focusing on important children and discriminating the sounds of the environment. So, believe that you have a minimum time necessary, from the stimulus, so that the individual can efficiently locate the side that proves the sound stimulus. Objective: To standardize the Click Ordering Lateralization Test (COLT) in adults with normal hearing. Method: Participated in the study 40 subjects, with half of the participants representing each sex. The indicators were individually evaluated and used as inclusion criteria. Inclusion criteria are as follows: 18 and 40 years and presentation tympanometry and normal audiometry. Participants will be submitted to the COLT test. They will be annotated and calculated for the results that will subsequently be submitted to a statistical analysis.
