“…29 Difficulties with the rules of language, the meaning of words and the use of language in social contexts lead to comprehension, expressive communication and learning problems, and can result in reduced academic achievement. 29 In contrast, a number of studies have shown that children with hearing loss who are raised by parents with hearing loss often have psychosocial advantages over those who are born to hearing families, as they grow up in an environment where communication is naturally dependent on visual, not oral, cues. 24 A recent study used both parent-report and videotaped data from 116 severely and profoundly deaf and 69 hearing preschool-age children, and demonstrated that hearing-impaired children displayed more behaviour problems and greater difficulties with oral language, parent-child communication and sustained attention than hearing children.…”

HTA NIHR Health Technology Assessment programmeThe Health Technology Assessment (HTA) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was set up in 1993. It produces high-quality research information on the effectiveness, costs and broader impact of health technologies for those who use, manage and provide care in the NHS. 'Health technologies' are broadly defined as all interventions used to promote health, prevent and treat disease, and improve rehabilitation and long-term care. The research findings from the HTA programme directly influence decision-making bodies such as the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the National Screening Committee (NSC). HTA findings also help to improve the quality of clinical practice in the NHS indirectly in that they form a key component of the 'National Knowledge Service' . The HTA programme is needs led in that it fills gaps in the evidence needed by the NHS. There are three routes to the start of project...

“…The target condition for the majority of these screening programs is permanent hearing loss Ͼ35 dB HL in the better ear. This is because there is solid evidence that untreated hearing loss of this degree can have a negative impact on speech, language, and cognitive development, and subsequently on academic and vocational achievement (Carney & Moeller 1998;Matkin & Wilcox 1999;Wake et al 2005). Although it has been posited that slight or mild hearing loss (i.e., Ͼ15 and Ͻ35 dB) may also affect development, and there is conflicting evidence about this (Wake et al 2006;Tharpe 2008).…”

Slight-Mild Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Children: Audiometric, Clinical, and Risk Factor Profiles

et al. 2010

Objectives: Slight or mild hearing loss has been posited as a factor affecting speech, language, learning, and academic outcomes, but the risk factors for slight-mild sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) have not been ascertained. The two specific aims for this research were (1) to describe the audiometric and clinical characteristics of children identified with slight-mild bilateral SNHL and (2) to compare children with slight-mild SNHL with those with normal hearing (NH) with respect to potential risk factors for congenital or acquired for hearing loss. Design:A cross-sectional cluster sample survey of 6581 children enrolled in years 1 and 5 of Australian elementary school was completed. Children were screened for slight-mild SNHL, defined as a low-and/or high-frequency pure-tone average of 16 to 40 dB HL in the better ear, with air-bone gaps Ͻ10 dB. Children who did not pass the screen received air and bone conduction threshold and tympanometry tests to determine the type and degree of hearing loss. The parents of every child who participated in this study completed a questionnaire, before the hearing screening, to ascertain possible risk indicators. The questionnaire included items regarding the family's demographics, hearing status of family members, the presence of risk factors, and parental concern regarding the child's hearing.Results: Fifty-five children with slight-mild SNHL and 5490 with NH were identified. Of the group with SNHL, 39 children had a slight loss (16 to 25 dB HL) and 16 had a mild loss (26 to 40 dB HL). The majority of the losses were bilateral and symmetrical, and the mean pure-tone average for the better ear for all 55 children was 22.4 dB HL (SD, 5.2). The most prevalent risk factor was "neonatal intensive care unit/special care nursery admission," which was reported for 12.5% of the SNHL and 8.4% of the NH group. Reported use of personal stereos was a significant risk factor with an odds ratio of 1.7 (95% confidence interval ϭ 1.0 to 3.0, p ϭ 0.05). The questions relating to parental concern for their child's hearing had low sensitivity (Ͻ30%) and very low positive predictive values (Ͻ3%) for detecting slight-mild SNHL.Conclusions: Slight-mild SNHL had a prevalence of 0.88% among the school-aged population sampled, with the majority of these children exhibiting bilateral, symmetrical audiometric configurations. Conventional risk factors for hearing loss were not strongly predictive of slight-mild SNHL nor were parental concerns about the child's hearing ability. The association between slight-mild SNHL and the parent report of personal stereo use suggests that this type of noise exposure may be a risk factor for acquired hearing loss. This seems to be the first documentation of such an association in a large sample of young children.

“…Comparatively, in the USA, 1.6-2.1% of children under 18 years have hearing loss (3). Hearing loss due to otitis media can cause delayed language and speech development, and in students it can lead to difficulties in learning and poorer academic achievement (4).…”

Objectives. Chronic otitis media (COM) and associated hearing loss is a frequent problem for many Inuit children in Canada. In this study, we evaluated individuals aged 12-16 years living in Inukjuak, to determine the prevalence of middle ear disease and hearing loss, and the effect of hearing loss on academic performance. Methods. Otological examination, hearing test, medical and school file review were performed in November 1997. 88 individuals were seen. Results. Otological examination revealed maximal scarring in 1.8%, minimal scarring in 34.9%, normal eardrums in 49.1% and chronic otitis media in 16.9%. There were 62 individuals whose ear exams could be directly compared with a previous exam done in 1987. Of those, there were three ears that had developed COM and 4/13ears with COM in 1987 that had healed. Hearing tests found bilateral normal hearing in 80% (PTA <20dB), unilateral loss in 15% and bilateral loss in 5%. Hearing loss was associated with poorer academic performance in Language (p<.05). A similar trend was found in Mathematics but not in Inuttitut. Conclusion. Chronic otitis media remains a significant problem among the Inuit, with a prevalence of 16.9% in individuals aged 12-16 years. One in five in this age group has hearing loss, and this hearing loss impacts on academic performance.
