BACKGROUND: this article was produced based on a review of articles published since 2005 in four major national journals in the fields of Speech (Pró-Fono Revista de Atualização Científica, Revista Brasileira de Otorrinolaringologia, Revista CEFAC and Revista Sociedade Brasileira de Fonoaudiologia) on the temporal aspects of hearing. This study points out to three addressed issues: temporal aspects, temporal ordering and temporal resolution. PURPOSE: to delineate the profile of knowledge production in the area of auditory temporal aspects with reference to four national journals. CONCLUSION: the survey conducted in this research showed that there is a small number of national studies related to the issue concerning the temporal aspects of hearing. Considering only the four national journals, less than 9% of the scientific production addressed this issue.
