In September of 2004, the Ministry of Health established the National Policy on Hearing Health Care, which aims to organize a line of comprehensive care in relation to hearing health. The Municipal Health Department has organized a network of references and cross references with Hearing Health Services, seeking among other things, the continuation of the rehabilitation process. Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of the process with reference to speech therapy, based on the procedures set forth in the Hearing Health Network Health Department of the Municipality of São Paulo, with a service of high competency. Methods: This study was conducted between January 2010 and July 2012 at the Child Hearing Center (CeAC), by using a process of recording and monitoring to assess hearing health. For the purposes of the study, forty-one (41) children were referred to the Integrated Center for Hearing Health (NISA) each coming from the boroughs of their region, to conduct speech therapy. There was periodic contact with families, in order to exchange information regarding the process, i.e. initiation of therapy services near speech-language pathology; in housing; the time interval between referral and initiation of therapy and frequency of attendance. Results: In characterizing the subjects, we observed that 56.1% of the males, compared of the females; 58,5% had profound hearing loss, 7.3% have Implant Cochlear, while 31.7% are under evaluation for surgery. Another 29.2% have other disabilities. In addition, it was observed that regional hearing loss houses have become more common in the North (36.6%) and South (34. 1%), since the CeAC study was introduced to these regions. Of the subjects analyzed 48.8% started speech therapy during the study period. Of these, 12.2% are queued and waiting for jobs, 22% failed therapy from the study and opted against searching for therapy in other services. Therefore, we established the relationship between the variables of age, gender, cochlear implant, the educational level of the parent / guardian; degree of hearing loss and region of residence of the subject. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between these variables and getting vacancies for speech therapy. With regard to region of residence, over 60% of children who live in the southeast and south were in attendance. Conclusions: The fact of having a pre-scheduled time for attendance at NISA, seems to influence and accelerate the vacancies in the regions that have this appointment. The process was effective in reference to 50% of subjects from the perspective of achieving compliance, but did not show effectiveness in terms of the precepts of NEHAP, as regards frequency of therapy on a weekly basis and availability of vacancies for services
