“…10,26,34,41 Two studies included community-based samples and found that parentreported levels of anxiety were higher in HI than in NH participants, 34 whereas self-reported levels of anxiety were equal in both groups. 26 For children with profound losses and/or attending special schools, the 2 available studies both revealed more self-reported anxiety in HI compared with NH children. 10,41 So, HI individuals have at least as much anxiety as NH individuals, but it is plausible that they in fact experience more anxiety, especially the children with profound losses attending special schools.…”

“…For somatization, 6 different studies were carried out. [4][5][6]20,26,32 Some researchers found no difference in level of somatization between HI and NH children and adolescents, 5,26,32 while others reported more somatic complaints in HI individuals, 4,6,20 with a reported prevalence varying from 17% to 20% for HI participants. 4,6 These seemingly inconsistent outcomes could not be explained by differences in study samples, since community-based samples as well as samples derived from special schools were included in both groups.…”

“…On the other hand, according to some of these studies, aggression levels of these children are close to their peers with no hearing-impairment and other problems experienced are not caused by hearing impairment (Konuk, 2006;Remine & Brown, 2010). According to the results of several studies, many problems including aggressive behaviors are reduced with the development of social skills, problem solving and communication skills (Pakaslahti et al, 1996;Chang & Sanna, 2003;Fung & Tsang, 2007).…”

The aim of this study is evaluating aggression behaviors of children with hearing impairment and comparing them with their peers who do not have any kind of hearing problems. For this purpose, 81 children with hearing impairment and 80 children with no hearing problems between the ages of 10-17 years were included in the study (a total of 161 children). The data of the study were obtained by Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire and the General Information Form. According to the results of this study, the total aggressiveness varies depending on age and hearing children show less aggressive behaviors as they get older; however, in children with hearing impairment, no difference was observed in their aggressive behaviors depending on their ages; gender creates a difference in total aggression behaviors in both children groups with and without hearing impairment and boys show more aggression behaviors compared to girls; children, who received pre-school education, with impairment show more aggressive behaviors, the existence of another hearing impairment family member increases the physical and indirect aggression behaviors of children with hearing impairment.

“…These individuals may also display difficulties in abstract thinking and problem-solving skills [7], ability to form peer relationships, low self-esteem [8] and ultimately increased psychological distress [9]. Due to the aforementioned, individuals with hearing loss are at risks of health and environmental hazards, more susceptible to social maladjustment, poor quality of sleep and likelihood of internalizing depressive symptoms when compared to hearing peers [10].…”

Introduction: Hearing loss is a silent disability that reduces the hearing acuity of an individual and makes it difficult to perceive or interpret auditory signals. Persons with hearing loss are a heterogeneous group comprising of diverse and complex psychosocial characteristics of individuals who does not readily enjoy the empathy/sympathy received by other forms of disabilities that is readily visible. Hearing loss usually predisposes sufferers to resentment, hostility, rejection and subtle denial resulting to a cascading effect on socio-emotional development and could ultimately lead to depression.Objective: This study assessed the extent and trend of studies on depression among individuals with hearing loss which are domiciled online data bases and to establish the strengths and limitation of such studies in Nigeria. Methods:To conduct this systematic review, a thorough search across multiple databases was undertaken, based upon five search facets ("depression", "depressive symptoms", "hearing loss", "deaf" and "hard of hearing"). Five electronic databases, key texts and references in the articles identified were scrutinized for article that have in their title "depression" and "hearing loss". Results:Data gathered revealed that hearing loss is significantly associated with depression while the onset and degrees of hearing loss poses to be a major correlate of depressive symptoms among the elderly. The study revealed that there is a dearth of studies which distinguished between communication options, parental involvement, socioeconomic status or birth order of the Deaf respondents/participants in relation to depression in their studies. Conclusion:There is a great tendency for depression among the Deaf and/or hard of hearing which may as well instigate suicidal thoughts. This study observed a dearth of studies on depression and its associated symptoms among the Deaf and/or hard of hearing in Nigeria and the Sub-Sahara Africa. Therefore, psychologist and other mental health workers should not take for granted any depressive symptoms among persons with hearing loss.
