The objective of the study was to describe, by a case report, the effectiveness of auditory training in the modification of the central auditory system of a child with complaints of change of speech and language. It is a retrospective study, through case report, of a child of the male gender of 02 years and 06 months with complaints of change of speech and / or language. In the evaluation of auditory evoked potential of encephalic stem observed presence of electrophysiological waves I, III and V with absolute latency and interpeak intervals within normal in the right ear and presence of waves I, III and V with absolute latency of the wave V high and interpeak intervals III-V and I-V high in the left ear. The electrophysiological threshold was of 70dBNA to the right and 40dBNA to the left. After evaluation the child was referred for speech therapy based on informal auditory training. To monitor auditory function, after 06 months of speech therapy, the child was referred for reassessment hearing. In the reassessment hearing the results were presence of electrophysiological waves I, III and V with absolute latency and interpeak intervals within normal in both ears with electrophysiological thresholds of 20dBNA bilateral. The auditory training program was effective in rehabilitating of the auditory skills.
