“…Less consistent HA use may not appear to be a cause for alarm because children with mild HL have significant residual hearing and some access to the speech spectrum even when unaided. On the other hand, evidence suggests that children with mild HL show as much benefit from HAs as children with moderateto-severe HL on measures of articulation and language (Tomblin, Oleson, Ambrose, Walker, & Moeller, 2014). Further research has shown that daily HA use influences language outcomes in early school-age children with mild HL, particularly for morphosyntactic acquisition (Walker, Holte, et al, 2015).…”

Purpose This study investigates clinical practice patterns and parent perception of intervention for children with mild hearing loss (HL). Method Ages at and delays between service delivery steps (first diagnostic evaluation, confirmation of HL, hearing aid [HA] fitting, entry into early intervention) were investigated for 113 children with mild HL. Comparisons were made to children with moderate-to-severe HL. Parents of children with mild HL reported reasons for delays and their perceptions of intervention and amplification for their children. Results Seventy-four percent of children with mild HL were identified through the newborn hearing screen; 26% were identified later due to passing or not receiving a newborn hearing screen. Ninety-four percent of children with mild HL were fit with HAs, albeit at significantly later ages than children with moderate-to-severe HL. Most parents indicated that their children benefited from HA use, but some parents expressed ambivalence toward the amount of benefit. Conclusions Audiologists appear to be moving toward regularly providing amplification for children with mild HL. However, delays in HA fittings indicate that further educating professionals and parents about the benefits of early amplification and intervention is warranted to encourage timely fitting and consistent use of HAs.

“…13 Intervention during this "critical" or "sensitive" period of rapid brain growth is characterized by neurogenesis, axonal and dendritic proliferation, synaptogenesis, cell apoptosis, synaptic pruning, and myelination with gliogenesis, and is often associated with the best possible outcomes. 1,13 In fact, several studies have demonstrated that early detection of hearing loss through newborn or neonatal hearing screening (NHS) programs accompanied by timely provision of hearing devices by the first year of life is associated with significant developmental outcomes and substantial cost savings, [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] although robust studies on the long-term economic benefits are still needed. 23 Other benefits of EHDI are summarized in Table 1.…”

Newborn or neonatal hearing screening (NHS) is offered routinely in high-income countries as an essential and mandatory intervention for the early detection of infants with permanent congenital or early-onset hearing loss. However, NHS is rarely offered presently in the vast majority of low-and middle-income countries, which account for over 80% of the incidence and burden of permanent congenital or early-onset hearing loss worldwide. This review provides an overview of the current status of NHS programs in the most developmentally disadvantaged low-and middle-income countries with a per capita income of approximately US$6,000 or less against the backdrop of relevant recommendations for effective NHS programs. It highlights the key obstacles to the delivery and uptake of NHS services based on a review of available literature from the eligible countries. It proposes strategies for addressing these challenges and examines the crucial role of pediatricians and primary care physicians in providing leadership for the requisite multidisciplinary efforts to develop and promote effective NHS services in low-and middle-income countries.

“…Para minimizar os efeitos negativos da perda auditiva é essencial o uso de recursos tecnológicos, como próteses auditivas e implante coclear, que possibilitem a reabilitação auditiva da criança em fase inicial do desenvolvimento e aquisição da linguagem 1 . Os primeiros anos de vida das crianças com deficiência auditiva ou surdez são essenciais para o desenvolvimento da linguagem e audição.…”

Objetivo: Este artigo tem como objetivo descrever as habilidades pragmáticas e caracterizar a modalidade comunicativa de crianças surdas em situação de comunicação cotidiana, a partir da percepção dos familiares. Métodos: Estudo descritivo e qualitativo. Foi desenvolvido com familiares e crianças surdas de um programa de reabilitação auditiva de uma universidade pública federal. Foi aplicada com os familiares a Primeira Parte: Avaliação do Perfil Pragmático do “Protocolo de Avaliação das Habilidades Comunicativas e de Linguagem de Crianças Surdas”. A análise dos dados foi realizada em quadro de registros composto por checklist, no qual foi assinalada a ocorrência de 33 habilidades comunicativas e a modalidade em que ocorreram. Os dados foram tabulados em planilha e submetidos à análise gráfica e descritiva pelo programa STATISTICA 9.1. Resultados: A maioria das habilidades pragmáticas estavam presentes em todas as crianças do estudo. A maior ocorrência de habilidades correspondeu a seção “Resposta para a Comunicação”, seguido de “Intenções Comunicativas” e por último “Interação e Conversação”. Relacionado às habilidades da seção “Variação do Contexto” a maioria das crianças é capaz de adequar a maneira de comunicação ao contexto ao qual estão inseridas. Na percepção dos familiares a modalidade comunicativa preferencial das crianças foi a visuo espacial (40,3%), seguido de bimodalidade (18,8%) e oral auditiva (15,4%). Conclusão: Os familiares foram capazes de descrever os comportamentos linguísticos das crianças surdas. Dessa maneira, compreendem que suas crianças possuem habilidades comunicativas e apresentam condições de estabelecem um diálogo com um interlocutor.
