“…In the current work, the four-frequency PTA inclusion criterion incorporates characteristics of the children's high-frequency hearing, which is likely to result in a slightly higher PTA value than would be found using a three-frequency PTA due to sloping configurations of HL (Pittman & Stelmachowicz, 2003). This broader definition is also consistent with previous research including children with mild HL (Blair, Peterson, & Viehwig, 1985;Davis, Elfenbein, Schum, & Bentler, 1986;Fitzpatrick, Durieux-Smith, & Whittingham, 2010;Fitzpatrick et al, 2016;Fitzpatrick, Whittingham, & DurieuxSmith, 2014;Sininger, Grimes, & Christensen, 2010).…”

Purpose This study investigates clinical practice patterns and parent perception of intervention for children with mild hearing loss (HL). Method Ages at and delays between service delivery steps (first diagnostic evaluation, confirmation of HL, hearing aid [HA] fitting, entry into early intervention) were investigated for 113 children with mild HL. Comparisons were made to children with moderate-to-severe HL. Parents of children with mild HL reported reasons for delays and their perceptions of intervention and amplification for their children. Results Seventy-four percent of children with mild HL were identified through the newborn hearing screen; 26% were identified later due to passing or not receiving a newborn hearing screen. Ninety-four percent of children with mild HL were fit with HAs, albeit at significantly later ages than children with moderate-to-severe HL. Most parents indicated that their children benefited from HA use, but some parents expressed ambivalence toward the amount of benefit. Conclusions Audiologists appear to be moving toward regularly providing amplification for children with mild HL. However, delays in HA fittings indicate that further educating professionals and parents about the benefits of early amplification and intervention is warranted to encourage timely fitting and consistent use of HAs.

RESUMO Objetivo estabelecer relações entre valores do índice de inteligibilidade de fala - SII gerados na verificação dos aparelhos de amplificação sonora programados conforme regra prescritiva DSLm[i/o]v5 e uma proposta de classificação de indivíduos que considere a associação de grau e configuração de perdas auditivas. Método foram selecionadas 41 crianças com idades entre 4 e 80 meses, totalizando 78 orelhas para análise. Foram considerados os limiares auditivos nas frequências 250, 500, 1000, 2000 e 4000 Hz e analisados valores de SII para os sinais de entrada 65 dB NPS, obtidos na verificação dos AASI no equipamento Verifit®Audioscan. Resultados as perdas auditivas foram classificadas em cinco grupos homogêneos quanto às características audiológicas (grau e configuração audiométrica) e heterogêneos entre si. A partir dos grupos, determinaram-se três intervalos de valores de SII. Foram determinadas equações para classificação da perda auditiva conforme grupos e equações para determinação de valores de SII ajustado. Conclusão o valor de SII pode ser considerado um indicador da audibilidade para sons de fala para diferentes características de perdas auditivas e nortear avalições de comportamento auditivo. O SII tem relação mais forte com a associação das variáveis grau e configuração audiométrica, quando comparado com sua relação com o grau da perda auditiva isoladamente.

“…Fitzpatrick et al (2011, p. 610) also noted that " just over half (11 of 21) of the children in the profound group and in the severe group (fi ve of 11) exhibited speech production skills more than 1 SD below the mean for age-matched peers " . Along similar lines, Sininger, Grimes, and Christensen (2010) reported that 44 infants and toddlers with early-identifi ed mild-to-profound bilateral hearing loss performed signifi cantly below agematched hearing peers on standardized testing. The reasons for this diversity in speech outcome research warrants further discussion.…”
