“…Three types of mental health conditions were measured, each using different tools/scales: Six studies evaluated stress and anxiety, including through the Stress Inventory for Disabled Children [45], two questions from the Perceived Stress Scale[46], The Fear Survey Schedule for Children‐Revised (FSSC‐R) and Revised Children’s Manifest Anxiety Scale [47], Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) [48], Self‐Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) [49] and Spielberger State and Trait Anxiety Inventory [50]. In three studies, depression was evaluated using the Geriatric Depression Scale‐15 [51], Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) [48] and Superego Paranoid Depression Scale [50]. Another five studies measured behavioural and emotional disorders, using the Human Figure Drawing Test, Child Behaviour Checklist (CBCL) [52], Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) [53], Rutter’s Scale B‐2 [54], or an unspecified standardised interview [55].…”

“…Four studies measured the association between depression and hearing loss. Sogebi et al (2015) assessed 130 elderly patients (60–94 years) with clinically diagnosed hearing loss from Nigeria and found that people with hearing loss had significantly higher levels of depression than controls without hearing loss ( P < 0.05) [51]. Cetin [48] found people with hearing loss had higher depression scores than control subjects ( P < 0.05).…”

objective Hearing loss can have far-reaching effects on social, emotional and cognitive development, but few studies have addressed the link with mental health conditions. We conducted a systematic review of the association between hearing loss and mental health conditions in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs).methods We searched six electronic databases using predetermined criteria to retrieve original research reporting mental health in people with hearing loss. We considered quantitative studies measuring any type of mental health conditions according to the ICD10 classifications of 'Mental and behavioural disorders' in relation to any measure of hearing loss. We assessed risk of bias using a set of criteria according to the SIGN50 guidelines.results We included 12 studies evaluating 35 604 people with hearing loss in 10 countries. Poorer mental health (measured as stress and anxiety, depression, and/or behavioural and emotional disorders) was more common among people with hearing loss compared to those without in 10 studies. One study found no difference in mental health outcomes between people with hearing, visual and no impairment. Another study reported that after hearing aids, those with severe hearing loss had significant improvement in psychosocial function, compared to no change among those without hearing loss. Overall, one study was judged to be high quality, seven medium quality and four low quality.conclusions Included studies showed a trend towards poorer mental health outcomes for people with hearing loss than for those without. However, our findings indicate that very few high-quality studies have been conducted in LMICs.keywords hearing loss, mental health, low-and middle-income countries Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 3 (good health and well-being), SDG 10 (reduced inequalities), SDG 17 (partnerships for the goals)

“…Therefore, the comorbidity of disorders that are risk factors for dementia or functional disability -such as presbycusis and NPS -is very common in the elderly, as many of them are related with the aging process (Livingston et al, 2017). Accordingly, previous studies that accounted for the variables related to functional limitations in subjects with presbycusis found that functional impairment is associated with multiple conditions, such as older age, comorbidities, cognitive impairment, and more severe hearing loss (López-Torres Hidalgo et al, 2009;Solheim et al, 2011;Sogebi et al, 2015). Even in high-functioning elderly, subjective perception of hearing loss increases the risk of intellectual Abbreviations: ADL, activity of daily living; AES, apathy evaluation scale; DPOAE, distortion product otoacoustic emissions; PCD, presbycusis with cochlear dysfunction; PCF, preserved cochlear function; PTA, pure tone average; NPS, neuropsychiatric symptoms.…”

“…Previous studies have also demonstrated a high prevalence of mental health conditions in people with hearing loss [8,9], although evidence is predominantly from high-income countries. One study from Nigeria found that older people experiencing hearing loss showed poorer scores for their activities of daily living and functionality, especially within the emotional domain, which related to depression [26].…”

There are 466 million people globally with disabling hearing loss, many of whom can benefit from hearing aids. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of providing hearing aids on poverty, mental health, quality of life, and activities, among adults in Guatemala. A nonrandomised before and after study was conducted, with a comparison group to assess for secular trends. Adult cases with bilateral hearing impairment were identified within 150 km of Guatemala City, as well as age- and sex-matched comparison subjects without disabling hearing loss. All participants were interviewed with a semistructured questionnaire, and cases were offered hearing aids. Participants were reinterviewed 6–9 months later. We interviewed 135 cases and 89 comparison subjects at baseline and follow-up. At baseline, cases were poorer than comparison subjects with respect to individual income (p = 0.01), household income (p = 0.02), and per capita expenditure (PCE) (p = 0.003). After provision of hearing aids, median household income improved among cases (p = 0.03). In the comparison group, median individual income (p = 0.01) and PCE (p = 0.03) fell between baseline at follow-up. At follow-up, there were also improvements in productive time use, quality of life, and depressive symptoms among cases, but these were less apparent in the comparison group. In conclusion, this study has demonstrated a positive effect of hearing aids in improving quality of life, economic circumstances and mental health among Guatemalan adults.
