“…39,41 Since OME may be silent in over 50% of cases, it is hard to study; finding it requires careful medical surveillance independently from symptoms. 24,25 In this study, the mean decreased vigilance value in the control group was 2, close to the value found by Feniman 5 when standardizing the SAAAT (1.5). The mean decreased vigilance value was 4 in the cleft lip and palate group, which was lower compared to controls and to the mean value in Feniman's paper.…”

“…The type of attentiveness that was assessed is not always specified, and is done by assessing the behavior of children; [24][25][26][27][28][29] other studies use individual tests to evaluate a specific type of attention. [30][31][32][33] Attention difficulties have been reported in subjects with reading impairment, 34 dyslexia, 35 aphasia, 36 sclerosis, 37 ADHD, 38 APD, 39 sleep deprivation,40 and cleft lip and palate.…”

Cl eft lip and palate (CLP) is a risk indicator to middle ear alterations, which may damage the development of auditory abilities such as attention that is essential to learn new skills, oral and written communication. Studies on attention process with CLP population are recent and poorly explored in the specific literature. Thus, this study aims to contribute with new subsidies in the field as it investigates the performance of children with CLP in Sustained Auditory Attention Ability Test (SAAAT). Material and Method: Comparison of SAAAT performance between children with CLP and children without it. Prospective study. Results: ANOVA was used as variance analysis model with two factors to study the variables such as group and gender. The CLP group showed an average of 2.5 units higher than the control group. This difference is between 0.7 and 4.4 with 95% certain. Conclusion: children with cleft lip and palate had poorer performance on SAAAT when compared to those without such craniofacial anomaly, considering attention reduction only.

“…Although it is clear that deafferentation perturbs cellular properties throughout the central auditory system (Kotak and Sanes, 1996;Vale and Sanes, 2000;Kotak et al, 2005;Walmsley et al, 2006;Wang and Manis, 2006), the effect of sound attenuation has not been established. Because there is considerable debate about the behavioral impact of conductive hearing loss alone (Feagans et al, 1987;Teele et al, 1990;Mody et al, 1999;Psarommatis et al, 2001;Roberts et al, 2002;Paradise et al, 2005), it is essential to establish whether or not central deficits occur. In the present study, we demonstrated that CHL led to distinct functional alterations within the ACx: short-term synaptic depression was increased, PSP latency increased, action potential adaptation declined, and the variability of PSP and spike latency increased.…”

Although sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is known to compromise central auditory structure and function, the impact of milder forms of hearing loss on cellular neurophysiology remains mostly undefined. We induced conductive hearing loss (CHL) in developing gerbils, reared the animals for 8 -13 d, and subsequently assessed the temporal features of auditory cortex layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons in a thalamocortical brain slice preparation with whole-cell recordings. Repetitive stimulation of the ventral medial geniculate nucleus (MGv) evoked robust short-term depression of the postsynaptic potentials in control neurons, and this depression increased monotonically at higher stimulation frequencies. In contrast, CHL neurons displayed a faster rate of synaptic depression and a smaller asymptotic amplitude. Moreover, the latency of MGv evoked potentials was consistently longer in CHL neurons for all stimulus rates. A separate assessment of spike frequency adaptation in response to trains of injected current pulses revealed that CHL neurons displayed less adaptation compared with controls, although there was an increase in temporal jitter. For each of these properties, nearly identical findings were observed for SNHL neurons. Together, these data show that CHL significantly alters the temporal properties of auditory cortex synapses and spikes, and this may contribute to processing deficits that attend mild to moderate hearing loss.

“…Within the New Zealand context, bilateral OME has been shown to have long-lasting consequences for language development, speech articulation, reading ability and classroom behaviour to age 11 [6]. A number of studies have reported significant associations between early childhood OME and attention or behaviour problems [27][28][29]. In addition, other otological sequelae due to untreated OME have been identified such as permanent perforation of the tympanic membrane, chronic suppurative otitis media, cholesteotoma, and ossicular erosion that may result in permanent hearing loss [30].…”
