Moderate Hearing Loss

The degree of speech development is not the same as that of hearing impairment and depends on the following factors: the degree of hearing impairment; the time of onset of the hearing analyzer defect; pedagogical conditions of the child after hearing analyzer dysfunction; specific characteristics of the child. Each of the above factors plays a major role in assessing children’s speech. Hearing and speech development in children are directly related. The more a child’s hearing, the more speech is affected. If the importance of hearing is low, then the deviation of speech is not pronounced. If there is a hearing loss, the child will remain deaf until special education begins. With moderate hearing loss, there are disturbances in the phonetic, lexical, grammatical side of speech. Hearing loss can occur at different times in a child’s life. The presence or absence of a secondary appearance of the defect depends on the time factor. The faster the impairment occurs, the more it affects the formation of speech function. In a child under the age of two, the ability to hear leads to a complete lack of speech if speech is not yet formed. By the age of 3-3.5, hearing loss leads to loss of formed speech. If special preparation is not started immediately, speech will be almost completely broken by the age of 4-5 with full hearing. At the age of 6-7 years, hearing loss leads to a sharp deterioration of the child's speech, and without special pedagogical assistance, speech gradually deteriorates.

This paper reviews the development of a provincial program to evaluate and train preschool children with hearing impairment of a degree sufficient to interfere with language and speech development. Problems relating to delay in diagnostic assessment and hence to early initiation of training are described, and some suggestions for overcoming them are made. It is suggested that physicians, and particularly pediatricians, have an important role in the resolution of these problems.

Background: Stroke survivors may suffer from a range of hearing impairments that may restrict their participation in postacute rehabilitation programs. Hearing impairment may have a significant impact on listening, linguistic skills, and overall communication of the affected stroke patient. However, no studies sought to systematically characterize auditory function of stroke patients in detail, to establish the different types of hearing impairments in this cohort of patients. Such information would be clinically useful in understanding and addressing the hearing needs of stroke survivors. Purpose: The present study aimed to characterize and classify the hearing impairments, using a detailed audiological assessment test battery, in order to determine the level of clinical need and inform appropriate rehabilitation for this patient population. Research Design: A case–control study. Study Sample: Forty-two recruited stroke patients who were discharged from a stroke unit and 40 control participants matched for age. Data Collection and Analysis: All participants underwent pure-tone audiometry and immittance measurements including acoustic reflex threshold, transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions, auditory-evoked brainstem response, and a central auditory processing assessment battery, performed in a single session. Hearing impairments were classified as peripheral hearing loss (cochlear and neural type), central auditory processing disorder (CAPD), and as a combination of CAPD and peripheral hearing loss. Results: Overall mean hearing thresholds were not significantly different between the control and stroke groups. The most common type of hearing impairment in stroke patients was the combination type, “peripheral and CAPD,” in the 61- to 80-yr-old subgroup (in 55%), and auditory processing deficits in 18- to 60-yr-olds (in 40%), which were both significantly higher than in controls. Conclusions: This is the first study to examine hearing function in detail in stroke patients. Given the importance of hearing for the efficiency of communication, it is essential to identify hearing impairments and differentiate peripheral and central deficits to define an appropriate intervention plan.

Background: Sensorineural-type hearing loss can occur in people who have chronic kidney disease (CKD) and with hemodialysis treatment. Sensorineural-type hearing loss is a hearing loss that occurs due to damage to the cochlear and the 8th cranial nerve. Hearing loss in CKD undergoing HD can occur at both high and low frequencies. Purposed: The aimed of this study was find out incidence of hearing loss and correlation of Hearing Impairment between Risk Factors Hypertention and Diabetes Melitus Type 2 in CKD patients with hemodialysis treatment. Methods: This study was observational analytics. The sample examined in this study were all CKD patient with hemodialysis treatment based criteria study. The hearing impairment were examined using audiometry. For statistic test using Spearman correlation test with significance level p = 0.05. Results: Fifteen patients (28.8%) with normal hearing. Patients who experience hearing loss as many as 37 patients (71.1%). Most of them were mild degree hearing loss, 29 patients (55.8%). Six patients (11.5%) were moderate hearing loss, and two patients (3.8%) were moderate hearing loss. Based on the results of the Spearman rho test showed that p=0.602 for hypertention and   DM type 2 was p= 0.102 Conclusion: There was no correlation of hearing impairment between risk factors Hypertention and DM type 2 in CKD patients with hemodialysis treatment.

The aim of the study is a spatial and statistical analysis of hearing loss of various types (conductive, sensorineural, mixed) and deafness in the adult population of the Chelyabinsk region, assessment of its dynamics and the impact of environmental stress in the place of residence. The study materials were data from the regional audiological center of the Chelyabinsk regional clinical hospital for the period from 2016–2020. Epidemiological issues of the spread of diseases were studied using the methods of spatial analysis, in the R software environment. The main tasks of spatial analysis were to visualize a point pattern from the geographical coordinates of the patient’s places of residence, assess the properties of the spatial process that generates this point pattern, test the hypothesis about the spatial randomness of this process and the influence of the ecological situation on it. It was found that more than half of all primary visits were patients with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. The number of patients who applied for the year during the observation period fluctuates within the average. Of all hearing impairments, the highest values of relative incidence are characteristic of sensorineural hearing loss, which has a direct relationship with age. The intensity of detection in patients with hearing impairment and deafness is directly related to the size of the living population. The existing division into zones with different ecological situations does not have a statistically significant (p <0.05) effect on the ratio of the number of patients with hearing impairments to the population.

Evidence suggests that musicians may be more susceptible to developing a hearing impairment due to increased exposure to loud sounds over the lifespan. Hearing impairments can affect musical performance behaviours, yet research suggests they do not significantly affect ensemble synchrony unless the hearing loss is severe or profound. This study investigated the effect of reduced auditory feedback on ensemble synchrony, looking behaviour and playing level. Four violinists, with self-reported normal hearing, formed two duos in acoustically-isolated rooms separated by a glass window. Each player received feedback from their own and their co-performer’s playing attenuated by 0, 10, 20, 30 and 40 dB. Video recordings of their looking behaviours were coded and signed asynchronies were identified in the audio files. The strongest effects found were bi-directional changes to playing levels as a result of auditory feedback levels, which increased when a player’s own feedback was reduced and reduced when co-performer feedback was attenuated. Violinists’ looking behaviour was found to increase when co-performer feedback was attenuated by 20 dB or more relative to their own, such that they glanced more frequently and looked for longer towards their partners. There were no effects of auditory attenuation on ensemble synchrony, even with 40 dB attenuation. The results indicate that “self-to-other” sound level ratios are more likely to prompt compensatory musical performance behaviours than an individual’s hearing ability.

It is difficult to determine exactly the effects of chronic otitis media on early language development, in part because we do not know whether hearing loss resulting from otitis media is intermittent or constant, and in part because it is difficult to assess the precise language ability of very young children. This paper focuses on those aspects of language development which one might expect hearing impairment to affect, and presents several hypotheses about the possible effects of mild-to-moderate hearing loss on the earliest stages of language development.

An extensive psychoeducational evaluation was administered to 40 hearing-impaired children to investigate the effects of degree of hearing impairment, age, and other factors on intellectual, social, academic, and language behavior. Although children varied greatly in performance, hearing loss of any degree appeared to affect psychoeducational development adversely, leading to the conclusion that even minimal hearing loss places children at risk for language and learning problems.

Audiological assessment of 86 children with congenital cytomegalovirus infection revealed progressive hearing loss in four of 12 subjects with sensorineural hearing impairments. Case descriptions are presented documenting the progression of the hearing loss. In view of the findings, children with congenital cytomegalovirus should be monitored closely to insure detection of possible delayed or progressive hearing impairment and delivery of appropriate habilitative services.

The purpose of this investigation was to describe the audiological findings in hearing loss secondary to maternal rubella. The mothers of all but three of the 80 subjects contracted rubella during the first trimester of pregnancy. Over 75.0% sustained the infection during the second or third month of gestation. The greatest incidence of additional congenital defects was found in those instances in which maternal rubella occurred during the first month of pregnancy. In almost all instances, all other congenital abnormalities had been identified prior to diagnosis of hearing impairment. Therefore, careful attention should be given to the possibility of undiagnosed hearing impairment being present in children whose mothers contracted rubella during the time of pregnancy. Audiograms were available for 55 of the subjects. The majority of these 55 subjects demonstrated hearing impairments classified as moderately severe to profound in degree. Ear differences were found in only 16 (29.0%) of the 55 children. No audiometric configuration emerged as representative of hearing impairment secondary to maternal rubella. Nevertheless, 40% of the audiograms were falling in pattern. The majority of the subjects demonstrated sensorineural impairments. However, about one-fourth exhibited mixed-type losses, according to the audiogram.

The aim of the study is a comparative analysis of medical and social indicators of audiological care for children with hearing impairments in two regions of the Russian Federation and the development of recommendations for its improvement. Methodology. The study was carried out on the basis of children’s audiology centers in St. Petersburg and Novosibirsk. At the first stage, the organization of audiological care for children in the region and the results of audiological screening were analyzed: coverage, frequency of detection of hearing loss. At the second stage, we analyzed the data from outpatient records of children with hearing impairments registered in audiology centers. The age at which the diagnosis was made, the age of primary hearing aid, the type of hearing aid, and the type of educational organization attended by the child were assessed. At the third stage, a screening examination of hearing was carried out in primary school students of a comprehensive school using otoscopy, tympanometry, registration of otoacoustic emission, and tone threshold audiometry. Results. The analysis showed that all components of medical care in the regions comply with international recommendations. Despite this, less than 10% of children with hearing impairment receive it in accordance with the time standard for early care «1-3-6», which involves the detection of hearing impairment at the age of 1 month, diagnosis of hearing impairment at 3 months, at 6 months - hearing aids and psychological and pedagogical assistance to a child and his family. The main reasons for the late diagnosis of hearing impairments in children and, as a consequence, the late start of their rehabilitation have been established: not all children go through the 1st stage of universal audiological screening of newborns, some children with a positive result of the 1st stage of screening do not enter the 2nd stage for diagnostic examination of hearing; children with auditory neuropathy and hearing loss of various etiologies that occur after birth «drop out» from the current audiological screening procedure. Conclusion. A system of measures is proposed to solve the problem of early detection of hearing impairments in children: 1) control of the 1st stage of audiological screening of newborns and the transfer of information about children to be examined at the 2nd stage to the audiology center; 2) the introduction of additional audiological screenings for children at the age of 1 year and upon admission to school; 3) increasing the awareness of pediatricians, neurologists and the population about the causes, diagnosis and rehabilitation of hearing impairment in children; 4) actions aimed at preventing the occurrence of hearing impairment in children (vaccination, treatment of otitis media, hearing hygiene, etc.).
