“…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).…”

“…It should be noted, however, that there are limitations in interpreting these prior studies with regard to the importance of early identification and intervention for children with mild HL. Much of the available research was conducted with populations of children who did not have access to NHS, and thus the children were identified later, on average, than might be expected for children with mild HL born in the post-NHS era (Blair et al, 1985;Davis et al, 1986;Đoković et al, 2014;Wake et al, 2006;Wolgemuth et al, 1998).…”

Service Delivery to Children With Mild Hearing Loss: Current Practice Patterns and Parent Perceptions

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.

“…[12][13][14][15][16][17] Findings of suboptimal academic skills have been reported in school age children with mild bilateral HL. [27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35] Other investigators have reported delayed development of vocabulary and speech skills in children with unilateral HL. 36,37 Although it has been reported that children with unilateral rightsided HL have poorer performance on verbal tests than children with left ear unilateral HL, 16 our cohort was too small and diverse to test this hypothesis.…”

Expressive vocabulary of children with hearing loss in the first 2 years of life: impact of early intervention

et al. 2010

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the expressive vocabulary of children with hearing loss (HL) enrolled in early intervention (EI) p3 vs >3 months in the first 24 months and to compare with hearing controls. It was hypothesized that the number of words produced would be higher for children with HL enrolled in EI p3 vs >3 months.Study Design: This is a prospective longitudinal matched cohort study.Result: The children with HL produced fewer words than the children with hearing. In addition, children with HL enrolled in EI p3 months had a larger expressive vocabulary percentile score compared with children with HL enrolled >3 months. Children with mild HL enrolled in EI p3 months had the greatest growth in vocabulary between 12 to 16 and 18 to 24 months. Conclusion:Although multiple factors are associated with expressive vocabulary growth of children with HL, enrollment in EI p3 months has sustained beneficial effects on expressive vocabulary at 18 to 24 months.

“…Using this technique, the carotid artery need not be sacrificed and the normal pulsatility to the systemic flow is maintained. The risk for central nervous system complications (bleeding, microthrombi or infarct) seems to be less in VV-ECMO than in VA-ECMO (33 (35,36). It seems, therefore, to be important to detect HL at an early stage and provide early intervention.…”

OBJECTIVE:To determine the prevalence of hearing loss in school-age children who have undergone neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) treatment and to identify any effects of hearing loss on speech-and language development. DESIGN:Prospective longitudinal follow-up study within the framework of a structured post-ECMO follow-up program.SETTING: Outpatient clinic of a level III university hospital. RESULTS:Tone audiometry was performed by standardized protocol in 136 children aged 5 to 12 years. Hearing loss was considered clinically significant when >20dB. Hearing was normal in 75.7% of children. Five children (3.7%) had bilateral sensorineural or combined hearing loss; 3 of them received special audiological care (2.2% of total sample). Of the 24 children with congenital diaphragmatic hernia, 19 (79.2%) had normal hearing; and only 2 (8.3%) had mild SNHL, unilateral in one of them.Follow-up at 24 months of age had shown normal verbal and non-verbal developmental scores.Language development and intelligence median (range) scores at 5 years of age were also normal: receptive language development 104 (55-133); syntactical development 104 (68-132); and lexical development 101 (50-141) for 89 children; intelligence quotient was 104 (68-132) in 106 children.Scores did not differ between those with normal hearing, and those with mild hearing loss, or those with moderate to severe hearing loss (p=0. 800, p=0.639, p=0.876, and p=0.886, for the respective developmental tests). CONCLUSIONS:We found normal language development and intelligence in a cohort of neonatal ECMO survivors. The prevalence of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss was in accordance with that of larger series in the United States -which exceeds the prevalence in the normal population.3
