“…These studies confirm the existence of a greater ASD risk in hearing-impaired subjects [7,8,32,39,40], suggesting that the social interaction difficulties suffered by these people are even worse because of sensory deprivation [8]. This situation underlines the need to identify cases earlier because these subjects require different and additional care [40].…”

Objective: The aim was to test the appropriateness of using autism spectrum disorder (ASD) screening tools in a hearing evaluation service. Patients and Methods: Forty-one children with a mean age of 2.8 years, of whom 33 (80.5%) were boys, were evaluated in an audiological diagnostic service using ASD screening tools that had been validated for use in Brazil and recommended by the Ministry of Health. Results: 82% of the subjects referred to the hearing diagnostic service over 18 months did not show any type of hearing loss, but 60% had early signs of autism. 10% had hearing loss and were at risk for autism. Conclusion: The data emphasize the importance of the awareness and the training of professionals working with young children in ASD screening. The data also suggest that screening young children in a hearing evaluation service may contribute to more timely identification of children at risk for ASD.

“…Surprisingly, there is no data in the literature regarding the investigation of suspected ASD among subjects undergoing hearing evaluation, although this type of evaluation is cited in studies conducted with ASD subjects [22,24,25,26,37,38,39]. …”

“…While there have been many studies using the ABR to characterize hearing and auditory function in individuals with AD, fi ndings have been mixed to date. Several investigators have reported prolongations in clickevoked ABR wave latencies and/or interpeak intervals (IPI) in children and adults with AD (Tanguay et al, 1982;Gillberg et al, 1983;Wong & Wong, 1991;Maziade et al, 2000;Tas et al, 2007;Kwon et al, 2007), however others report no group differences (Rumsey et al, 1984;Courchesne et al, 1985;Tharpe et al, 2006).…”

Efforts to correlate peripheral neurophysiologic function with perceptional deficits seen in autistic disorder (AD) have resulted in mixed findings, reflecting the high degree of heterogeneity observed in these individuals. We used the auditory brainstem response to study the effect of stress (high click presentation rate) on the auditory system in 20 children with AD (7-13 years) and 20 age-matched typically developing (TD) children. We report latency prolongations in children with AD vs. TD at waves I, III, and V that differed by ear of presentation: overall, left ear showed significant prolongations by group while right ear did not. The 'stressed' condition produced prolongations for both groups at each wave. At wave V, children with AD showed significant prolongations vs. TD, particularly for the right ear. For children with AD, wave V latency prolongations corresponded to language outcome as measured by VIQ, with longer prolongations associating with lower VIQ. Preliminary results provide evidence for reduced synaptic efficiency in auditory pathways in children with AD, which may form the neural bases for sensory reactivity and language impairment.

“…The DPOAE levels and SNRs at several frequencies in addition to the overall values for the TEOAE levels were higher in the autism group compared with those in the control group. Studies of the auditory characteristics of children with autism showed that the OAE responses in children with autism were either equivalent to those in typically developing children [6,12] or lower [20,21] . In a study on children with normal hearing, the TEOAE SNRs and DPOAE levels were similar in children with autism and typically developing control subjects [6] .…”

“…Also, OAEs are simple to measure, and the measurements do not greatly depend on the cooperation of the patient. According to the literature, such objective methods provide a practical way of detecting auditory problems in non-cooperative children [4,20] . Studies on the OAEs of children with and without autism revealed different results, with some showing no differences between groups and others showing a difference in the emission responses of children with autism [6,12,21] .…”

OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study is to investigate otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) in young children with autism compared with those in an agematched control group. MATERIALS and METHODS:Thirty-eight children with autism aged 3-6 years and 27 typically developing (normally developing) control subjects participated in this study. All the participants had normal hearing and middle-ear function. Auditory brainstem responses were used to determine the hearing status in the autism group. Transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) and distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were measured in the two groups. RESULTS:The TEOAE response level was higher in the autism group. Analysis of the DPOAE response showed that the mean emission levels at 1.5, 2 , 3, and 6 kHz and signal/noise ratios at 2, 4, 6, and 8 kHz were higher in the autism group (p<0.05). The greatest between-group differences were observed in the DPOAE signal levels at 2, 3, and 6 kHz (p=0.000). No statistically significant difference was found between the noise levels in the autism and control groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSION:The emission responses in the autism group were higher than those in the control group. The increase in DPOAEs at high frequencies may be related to the higher outer cell activation in the autism group. Further studies with larger sample sizes comprising younger children are needed to confirm the result and investigate the possible association between the increased OAEs and auditory sensitivity reported in autism.
