“…[16][17][18] These losses might be transient or more chronic in nature. Collectively, prospective studies of children with recurrent OME suggest that mild hearing loss associated with OME in early life is associated with poorer extended high-frequency hearing sensitivity and atypical auditory brainstem pathway indices (elevated crossed, but not uncrossed, middle ear acoustic reflex thresholds, and delayed wave V auditory brainstem response [ABR] latencies 19 ) at school age but not psychoacoustic or speech-in-noise tasks. However, other studies have demonstrated compromised deficits in binaural auditory tasks such as binaural release from masking 15,20 and speech-innoise listening.…”

Children with minimal or mild bilateral hearing loss and unilateral hearing loss are at higher risk for academic, speech-language, and social-emotional difficulties than their normal hearing peers. The choice to fit infants with moderate or greater degrees of bilateral hearing loss has been standard practice for most clinicians, but for those with minimal or mild bilateral hearing loss or unilateral hearing loss, the fitting of hearing technology must be based on limited data. Evidence does not yet exist to support all the management decisions that an audiologist must make upon identifying an infant with minimal or mild bilateral hearing loss or unilateral hearing loss. It is not yet known which children are at the greatest risk for educational problems nor is it known if the provision of early amplification in this population will help a child avoid later difficulties. Some of these considerations and current hearing technology options for children with minimal or mild bilateral hearing loss or unilateral hearing loss are reviewed in this article.

“…Secondary APD is when APD results from an initial peripheral hearing problem such as otitis media with effusion [2,7,10] . This is hypothesized to be a potential etiological factor in APD because repeated otitis media at a young age leads to repeated episodes of abnormal hearing.…”

Auditory processing disorder (APD) is a disorder that affects the perception of sound, both verbal and non-verbal. Patients who are generally diagnosed with APD present with abnormal hearing but have normal audiograms. There is no gold standard investigation for APD and no standardized criteria for diagnosis. Because of its disabling effect and the overlap that exists with other neurodevelopmental disorders, there is an urgent need to develop tools and criteria for appropriate diagnosis. There is a current significant focus in research on imaging techniques that can possibly be used in the future for the appropriate diagnosis of APD. Over the years, several imaging techniques have contributed significantly to defining this disorder. To date, no studies have reported the routine use of imaging for the diagnosis of APD.

“…Studies tend to focus on the harmful effects of prolonged and chronic otitis media with effusion (OME) in aspects of general health, behavior, academic performance, language, and hearing (1)(2)(3)(4)(5) . The effects of recurrent OME (ROME) on hearing acuity in the short and long terms are well documented (6,7) . However, results on the auditory central nervous system (ANCS), despite the vast amount of information available, are controversial (2,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) .…”

However, results on the auditory central nervous system (ANCS), despite the vast amount of information available, are controversial (2,(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16) . Studies focus on the premise of interdependence between episodes of OME and the change in tone thresholds, called fluctuating conductive hearing loss, because 80% children diagnosed with OME exhibit this kind of loss that acts as a sensory deprivation (8,15) .…”

“…Two prospective cohort studies, however, periodically monitored the occurrence of OME in early years of life and, through this monitoring, authors drew different conclusions using the same test, the Masking Level Difference test (7,8) . In one of the studies, it was reported that only children identified with OME in their first years of life, in approximately 45% of the auditory monitoring visits, showed lower results (8) .…”

PURPOSE: To study the temporal auditory ordering and resolution abilities in children with and without a history of early OME and ROME, as well as to study the responses according to age. METHODS: A total of 59 children were evaluated, and all of them presented pure tone thresholds within the normal range at the time of the conduction of the hearing tests. The children were divided into two groups according to the occurrence of episodes of recurrent otitis media. Then, each group was divided into two subgroups according to age: 7- and 8-year olds, and 9- and 10-year olds. All children were assessed with standard tests of temporal frequency (ordination) and gaps-in-noise (resolution). RESULTS: For the temporal abilities studied, children with a history of otitis media presented significantly lower results compared to the control group. In the frequency pattern test, the correct answers increased with age in both groups. In the identification of silence intervals, the control group showed no change in threshold regarding to age, but this change was present in the group with a history of otitis media. CONCLUSION: Episodes of otitis media with effusion in the first year of life, recurrent and persistent in preschool and school ages, negatively influence the temporal ordering and resolution abilities.
