“…Children with aural atresia receive higher rates of speech therapy and other educational interventions than normal-hearing children (Jensen, Grames, & Lieu, 2013; Kesser, Krook, & Gray, 2013). Management options include canalplasty to recreate the external auditory canal, which has been shown to improve hearing and sound localization (Moon et al, 2014), or amplification using either a middle ear implant or bone conduction device, both of which improve directional hearing (Agterberg et al, 2014). …”

Asymmetric and unilateral hearing losses in children have traditionally been underappreciated, but health care practitioners are now beginning to understand their effect on development and the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms. The common wisdom among medical and educational professionals has been that at least one normal hearing or near-normal hearing ear was sufficient for typical speech and language development in children. The objective of this review is to illustrate to the non-otolaryngologist the consequences of asymmetric and unilateral hearing loss in children on developmental and educational outcomes. In the process, etiology, detection, and management are discussed. Lastly, implications for further research are considered.

“…For example, words originate from one loudspeaker, and noise or a competitive signal is simultaneously sent from a different source (Arndt et al, 2011;Buss et al, 2008;Gantz et al, 2002;Hassepass et al, 2013;Litovsky, Parkinson, Arcaroli, & Sammeth, 2006;Tyler et al, 2002;Tyler, Noble, Dunn, & Witt, 2006). Localization tests usually require subjects to identify the location among an array of loudspeakers from which the sound was emitted (Chang et al, 2010;Dunn, Tyler, & Witt, 2005;Grantham, Ashmead, Ricketts, Labadie, & Haynes, 2007;Kuk, Korhonen, Lau, Keenan, & Norgaard, 2013;Moon et al, 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the changes over time of the Spatial Hearing Questionnaire (SHQ; Tyler, Perreau, & Ji, 2009) and the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ; Gatehouse & Noble, 2004) in adults with simultaneous bilateral cochlear implants by collecting data for 2 years after implantation. Method Nineteen postlingual subjects participated in this study. Average age at implant was 63 years. The subjects' data were included in this retrospective analysis only if they completed both questionnaires. We compared subjects' SSQ and SHQ scores to word recognition and sound localization performances. Results The study showed SHQ and SSQ scores continuously improved up to 1 year postimplantation, with the most improvement occurring within the first 6 months of implantation. After 1 year, the scores reached a plateau. This is consistent with laboratory tests from the same 19 subjects, and they showed high correlations ( p < .05). The present study also showed a high degree of correlation between SHQ and SSQ scores. Conclusions Both the SSQ and SHQ scores improved up to 12 months postimplantation, with the most improvement during the first 6 months of implantation. Both were consistent with laboratory tests. There was a high degree of correlation between SHQ and SSQ scores.

Comparison of Outcomes of Surgery Versus Implantable Device for the Treatment of Hearing Loss Associated With Congenital Aural Atresia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

et al. 2023

Objective To compare audiometric outcomes, complications, and revisions required for implantable bone-conduction devices (BCDs) versus atresia surgery for the treatment of hearing loss associated with congenital aural atresia. Databases Reviewed PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL. Methods Databases were searched for English articles from inception to July 1, 2022, for studies reporting audiometric outcomes or complications for either BCDs or atresia surgery for the treatment of congenital aural atresia. Main outcome measures included pure-tone audiometry, air-bone gap, speech reception threshold, associated complications, and rates of revision for each treatment option. Results We identified 973 abstracts, of which 89 were selected for data extraction and analysis. A total of 2,611 patients were included, 1,901 in the atresia surgery group and 710 in the BCDs group. A meta-analysis of single means was conducted for age and audiometric outcomes, and a meta-analysis of proportions was conducted for complications and revisions. The average short-term improvement in pure-tone audiometry for the BCDs group was 34.4 ± 1.6 dB compared with 22.4 ± 1.5 dB for the atresia surgery group, representing a significant difference (12.0 dB; 95% confidence interval, 11.9–12.2; p < 0.0001). A smaller proportion of complications were reported in the devices group (16.9%) compared with the atresia surgery group (45.7%). In addition, a smaller proportion of cases in the devices group required some degree of revision (17.8%) compared with the atresia surgery group (23.0%). Conclusions This study demonstrates that implantable BCDs have significantly better audiometric outcomes as well as a lower rate of complications and revisions required compared with atresia surgery.

Sound Localization Performance Improves After Canaloplasty in Unilateral Congenital Aural Atresia Patients

Abstract: Sound localization performance improved significantly after canaloplasty. Canaloplasty could provide better localization benefit and subjective improvement in spatial sensation to unilateral CAA patients.
