“…The auditory processing of HI people has been found to be slower than that of NH people without hearing aids (Lasak, Allen, McVay, & Lewis, 2014). The materials used in processing may be partly related to the reaction time of CIs and hearing aids (Stone, Moore, Meisenbacher, & Derleth, 2008).…”

Implantation age, musical interests, and voice quality tended to have an impact on correct emotion identification. Thus, in developing the cochlear implants, it may be worth paying attention to the acoustic structures of vocal emotional expressions, especially the formant frequency of F3. Supporting the musical interests of children with HI may help their emotional development and improve their social lives.

“…Limited evidence exists about the obstacles and challenges that DHH students face in higher education, indicating the need for a larger body of research on this subject (Lang, 2002;Luckner, Sebald, Cooney, Young, & Muir, 2005). Students who are DHH constitute a population that struggles with reading comprehension skills as they lag far behind that of their hearing peers and require an extra effort to bridge this gap (Lasak, Allen, McVay, & Lewis, 2014;Wilbur, 2000). Lang (2002) states that the research that has been conducted in the past 30 years related to DHH students in higher education has been both problematic and at times insufficient.…”

The purpose of this study was to examine evidence-based practices related to reading comprehension through metacognitive strategies utilizing digital books among deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) in higher education. Previous literature has demonstrated that the major educational challenge for DHH students was developing reading comprehension skills. This issue becomes more complex when DHH students start their undergraduate education in Saudi Arabia due to the difficulty of understanding academic books and journals. Based on the preliminary data, an intervention was designed for DHH students with control and treatment groups (n ¼ 36). The control group was taught using metacognitive strategies-based printed books. By contrast, the treatment group received an intervention through metacognitive strategies-based digital books. The procedure of the study was designed through multiple measurements: The Achievement Test of Reading Comprehension was used as a baseline measurement. In addition, classroom observations were used during the

“…Deafness directly affects cognition, thinking and memory, resulting in a decline in the quality of life, thereby contributing to the burden of families and society ( 4 ). The progression and development of modern medicine have gradually reduced the proportion of deafness cases caused by environmental factors ( 5 ). However, the proportion of patients with hearing impairment caused by genetic factors has largely remained to be determined ( 6 ).…”

Previous studies have identified ~50 genes that contribute to non-syndromic autosomal dominant sensorineural deafness (DFNA). However, in numerous families with hearing loss, the specific gene mutation remains to be identified. In the present study, the clinical characteristics and gene mutations were analyzed in a Chinese pedigree with hereditary hearing loss. The clinical characteristics of the family members were assessed and a detailed audiology function examination was performed. Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed to identify the gene mutation responsible for the hearing loss. Sanger sequencing was used to verify the candidate mutation detected in the family. The family consisted of 31 members, seven of whom were diagnosed with sensorineural deafness of varying degrees. No mutation was identified by the general deafness gene chip. However, a novel heterozygous mutation in exon 3 (c.152C>T; Pro51Leu) of the gene crystallin µ (CRYM) was identified by WES. This result was further verified by Sanger sequencing. Co-segregation of genotypes and phenotypes suggested that this novel mutation was instrumental for the hearing loss/DFNA. In conclusion, the present study identified a novel pathogenic mutation, NM_001888.5(CRYM): c.152C>T(Pro51Leu), associated with DFNA. This mutation has not been reported previously and further functional studies are warranted.
