Loss Effect

There are about 466 million people (6.1% of global population) with hearing impairment registered in the world according to the data from WHO experts. Their number exceeds 13 million in Russian Federation, and more than 1 million are children. The results of the universal audiological screening program for newborns has shown that 1 child per 1000 newborns is born deaf, another 2–3 children grow deaf during the first years of life. The number of people with hearing impairment will reach 900 million people by 2050 according to the WHO forecasts. Prevention and early diagnosis of hearing loss and rehabilitation of children with such disorders are necessary for avoiding problems with social integration. This review presents the analysis of cognitive abilities development in children and adolescents with different types and degrees of hearing loss with regard to different approaches in their management and rehabilitation.

The world of football arguably brings together and unites people in support of their teams and countries, while inspiring young children and adolescents to dream of a professional career. Existing research in the field has sought to begin to understand what professional footballers experience on their journey through the game. However, much of this UK-based research has focused on first team players and their professional experiences, including transitions from youth team to first team and to retirement. This study, therefore, aimed to examine players during their youth academy scholarship at one English Championship club. This study focused on the transitional experiences of youth players from school to the academy and their resulting embodying of a footballer’s identity. Twelve semi-structured interviews with players aged 17–19, were conducted and then analysed by thematic analysis using figurational sociology concepts. Three different types of transition were identified. Among other reasons, early specialisation in football was a prevalent factor that partly influenced the way the players experienced their transition. The transition into the academy coincided with the transition from youth to adulthood that was arguably anything but linear as players managed the dominant sub-cultures present in the club.

Reduction of hearing is the most common sensory impairment among newborns with an incidence of 1-3 per 1000 births. Introduction of an Auditory Newborn screening program allows early identification of hearing impairment. Mainly, congenital hearing loss in early childhood is a result of genetic changes. Due to high frequency of GJB2 pathogenic variants, its molecular characterization among sensorineural hearing reduction cases is already conducted as a routine analysis in many countries. The aim of this study is to show our initial results in the effort to determine whether genetic screening along with the standard hearing screening in newborns is justified. Otoacoustic emission (OAE) method was conducted in 223 newborns at risk of hearing impairment. Among them, 7 did not pass the test in both ears while 9 exhibited one-sided hearing loss. In all 7 children with indication of profound bilateral deafness, the diagnosis was confirmed using auditory brainstem response. Genetic screening of GJB2 gene was performed in 6 of them. Genetic analysis of GJB2 revealed homozygous state of the most common pathogenic variant 35delG in 3 (50%) of the analyzed infants. In the remaining 3 no pathogenic variant was determined. The results indicate that performing auditory OAE together with genetic screening is justified. In newborns who have not passed the hearing screening test and have profound hearing loss, without other syndrome traits, screening for mutations of GJB2 gene should be conducted. Genetic screening enables establishment of early definite diagnosis for deafness and helps in conducting adequate therapy providing timely rehabilitation and social inclusion of deaf child. Key words: hearing loss, genetic screening, auditory screening, GJB2 gene

Neuroplasticity is a basic feature of neuronal system which provides function rebuilt or developmental dysfunction repair. Hearing impairment can have an impact on intelligence levels, organization and structure of cognitive processes. Cognitive capacities profiles of deaf people present neuropsychological results of functional reorganization of brain. 208 children were accepted for this study. Experimental group consisted of 126 children suffering from sensorineural hearing insufficiency. 26 children were diagnosed with right-sided hearing loss, 34 children were diagnosed with left-sided hearing loss and 66 children were diagnosed with bilateral hearing loss. Control group consisted of 82 normally hearing children, confirmed in audiometric assessment. In order to establish levels of cognitive abilities and intelligence in patients enrolled for the study polish adaptation of Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-R) was administered. Children with bilateral hearing loss obtained worse results in verbal scale compared to well hearing controls. Verbal intelligence in control group was statistically higher than in right-sided auditory dysfunction group. Control group average result in nonverbal scale was statistically significantly higher compared to left-sided hearing loss patients. Children with right-sided auditory dysfunction obtained higher results in nonverbal scale compared to children with left-sided auditory dysfunction. Left-sided hearing impairment group had higher scores in almost all subtests of verbal scale than right-sided hearing impairment group. Left-sided auditory disability enhances linguistic capacity, which indicates compensation abilities of left hemisphere responsible for verbal processes. Right-sided auditory disability enhances analytic processes, visual synthesis and image reasoning, which indicates compensation abilities of right hemisphere responsible for nonverbal processes.

Insidious Onset

Cognitive impairment and dementia are characterized by a progressive and devastating reduction in most cognitive abilities, functional independence, and social relationships. Dementia represents a substantial financial burden on society, one that is comparable to the financial burden of heart disease and cancer. Due to its insidious onset, cognitive impairment can be clinically silent for several years; therefore, diagnosis occurs late in the disease process, and treatment becomes almost useless. The identification of predictors of dementia may help identify the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the disease and lead to the development of a more effective medical diagnosis and therapy, and thus an early treatment. Review of the literature suggests that in those individuals with less cognitive impairment (normal/predementia group), hearing loss has an association with language comprehension, and when cognitive impairment increases (moderate or severe dementia group), the contributing effect of hearing loss as a cognitive ability-impairing factor also increases. Greater understanding of the links between hearing impairment and cognition may have important implications for the screening and diagnosis of cognitive decline in older people with hearing impairment.

Hearing impairment is common throughout the world, and it is estimated that 50% of all deafness and hearing impairment is preventable. The World Health Organization (WHO, 1999) estimates that there are 255 million people worldwide with a hearing impairment; of those, two-thirds live in the developing countries. Although hearing loss is not a death causing disease, the implication of hearing impairment for the individual, family, and community is tremendous. The far-reaching implications of hearing loss, both in terms of development of communication skills as well as social, economic, and quality of life issues, warrant highlighting the magnitude and severity of the problem. This disability cannot be “seen” and, therefore, has been low-profile. At the same time, hearing loss programs in India are less developed than programs for individuals diagnosed with blindness. It is well documented that hearing loss and deafness is preventable, provided it is detected early and managed properly through appropriate health education and program development.

Parental Suspicion

Introduction: Permanent hearing impairment is a significant and relatively common condition in newborns, affecting at least 1 child per 1000 live births. The early identification of hearing loss is very important in order to begin early rehabilitation and for optimizing normal development of language. Material and methods: We examined 70 children with parental suspicion of a hearing loss. Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry was performed and the group was divided into three subgroups. The following parameters were analyzed: the average age of hearing loss-identification, the time of parental first suspicion of a hearing loss, as well as risk factors for hearing impairment. Results and discussion: Of 70 children with parental suspicion of a hearing loss, in 17 cases normal hearing or mild hearing loss (up to 40 dB HL) was found (group I), 16 children were suffering from moderate and severe hearing loss (40 to 90 dB HL) (group II), and 37% of children were suffering from profound hearing loss (greater than 90 dB HL) (group III). Up to the age of 2, the diagnosis was made in 17.64% of children in group I, in 25% in group II, and in 58.8% in group III. The average age of hearing loss identification was 2.83, 3.32, 2.32 years in groups I, II, III, respectively, although parents suspected hearing problems at least one year earlier. Presence of hearing impaired family members as well as of risk factors were not sufficient reasons to get a medical check-up. Conclusion: The use of otoacoustic emission testing in routine clinical practice, as well as education of parents and pediatricians, was followed by earlier detection of hearing loss in regard to our previous study (10 years ago). The mean age of diagnosis in our region is still over 2 years, but establishment of a universal screening program may help reduce the age of hearing loss detection.
