“…Children with UCHL usually do not show much inconvenience in life than those with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), possibly because they still have two normal functioning cochleae and a normal bone conduction hearing pathway. Although children with UCHL tend to have better school performance than those with SNHL, most of them still report communication and behavioral problems and need some sort of resource assistance [ 51 , 52 ]. Recently, a neuroimaging study has revealed abnormally high brain activities in the left inferior temporal gyrus of UCHL patients, which is positively associated with the duration of hearing loss [ 53 ].…”

Bone conduction devices (BCDs) are widely used in the treatment of conductive hearing loss (CHL), but their applications on unilateral CHL (UCHL) patients remain controversial. To evaluate the effects of BCDs in UCHL, a systematic search was undertaken until May 2023 following the PRISMA guidelines. Among the 391 references, 21 studies met the inclusion criteria and were ultimately selected for review. Data on hearing thresholds, speech recognition, sound localization, and subjective questionnaire outcomes were collected and summarized. Moderate hearing threshold improvements were found in UCHL patients aided with BCDs. Their speech recognition abilities improved significantly. However, sound localization results showed wide individual variations. According to subjective questionnaires, BCDs had an overall positive influence on the daily life of UCHL patients, although several unfavorable experiences were reported by some of them. We concluded that the positive audiological benefits and subjective questionnaire results have made BCDs a credible intervention for UCHL patients. Before final implantations, UCHL patients should first go through a period of time when they were fitted with non-implantable BCDs as a trial.

Nos proponemos comparar el desarrollo del lenguaje y la discriminación auditiva de un grupo de niños de 3 a 15 años diagnosticados y tratados precozmente de hipoacusia congénita, de cualquier grado (leve a profunda) uni o bilateral, con otro de normoyentes. Se evaluaron 143 niños (57 con hipoacusia bilateral, 20 unilateral y 66 normoyentes). Se estudió la discriminación auditiva mediante el test EDAF y se analizó el lenguaje, utilizando en los niños de 3 a 6 años la prueba de PLON-R y a partir de los 6 años la batería BLOC-SR. Para conocer las características socio-culturales del grupo familiar, los padres rellenaron un cuestionario. Considerando en conjunto todos los grados de hipoacusia, en el rango de 3 a 6 años, hay un retraso de la competencia lingüística en relación con los normoyentes, que es mayor en la hipoacusia bilateral (1,6 DS) que en la unilateral (0,9 DS). Estas distancias se acortan en el periodo de 7 a 10 años y prácticamente desaparecen en el de 11-15 años. La morfosintaxis es el área del lenguaje con mayores alteraciones. La discriminación fonológica de palabras y la memoria secuencial auditiva guardan una estrecha relación con la evolución del lenguaje hablabdo. En la hipoacusia congénita el desarrollo global del lenguaje se retrasa en el periodo de 3 a 6 años, mejorando con la edad, hasta los 15 años. Se mantienen las diferencias individuales que no dependen solo de la pérdida auditiva, sino de la intervención audiológica, logopédica y educativa. La morfosintaxis es el aspecto más vulnerable.
