“…Patients typically realise they have hearing loss in primary school with the help of their teacher, or while talking on the phone or listening to music using earphones. Besides having low academic performance in school, affected children may also show difficulties in understanding conversations in a noisy environment [7][8][9] .…”

“…Even children with asymmetric or mild hearing loss have difficulties in learning at school; therefore, their cognitive abilities are poor. Children with USNHL also have problems in sound localization, and the IQs of children with unilateral hearing loss since early childhood have been found to be lower than those of children with binaural hearing; therefore, the former group needs additional academic support [7,9] .…”

“…Because the vestibular system may also be affected in cases with USNHL, imbalance and vertigo may also be present [1] . All of these negative effects may manifest in low academic performance, difficulties in social life, and lack of self-confidence [3,[7][8][9][10][11] .…”

OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to evaluate the vestibular system of children with unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (USNHL), investigate the etiological factors of USNHL and analyze whether a genetic predisposition exists. MATERIALS and METHODS:Thirty-three children aged less than 18 years with USNHL, who visited the ear, nose, and throat (ENT) department between January 2004 and December 2012, were included in this study. Cases with conductive hearing loss were excluded from the study. The patients were subjected to etiologic, genetic, and ophthalmologic evaluation; radiologic imaging; electronystagmography (ENG); and vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP) tests. The control group, which included 25 healthy children (13 males and 12 females), had undergone audiological assessment and were subjected to ENG and VEMP tests. RESULTS:All of the patients had severe-to-profound hearing loss. Mumps immunoglobulin G was positive in 22 (66.7%) of 33 patients. The 35delG mutation was not found in any of the patients. All of the patients underwent temporal computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Inner ear anomaly was present in 51.5% of the patients. Overall, 21 of 31 ENG patients had canal paresis in the affected ear. The VEMP response was absent on the affected side in three patients. The n23 latency average of the patient group was longer than that of the control group. CONCLUSION:Because USNHL causes irreversible problems in children, early diagnosis and auditory rehabilitation are very important. As USNHL is accompanied by inner ear anomaly, children with USNHL should undergo temporal bone CT and MRI. To evaluate the vestibular system, ENG and VEMP are non-invasive and diagnostic tests.

“…There is also controversy regarding the correlation between performance and the affected ear in UHL. Some studies (27,28) have suggested that children with UHL in the right ear present more difficulty of speech and learning than the ones with hearing loss in the left ear. Other studies (29,30) did not find significant differences between these groups.…”

Purpose: To analyze the phonological and vocabulary performance of children with unilateral hearing loss. Methods: Participants were twelve subjects with unilateral hearing loss of any degree and configuration, with deficit in any ear and without other associated impairments -six with conductive hearing loss due to congenital malformation of outer and/or middle ear, and six with congenital sensorineural hearing loss or acquired in the first year of life. Subjects' ages ranged from 3 years and 7 months to 7 years and 8 months. The phonology and vocabulary tasks of the "ABFW -Child Language Test" were applied. Results: Thirty-three percent of the children presented performances different than expected for their age groups regarding phonological (2 children) and lexical developments (2 children). On the phonology test, one child with sensorineural hearing loss presented phonological processes that were not expected for the age group (liquid simplification and fricative devoicing) and low indices of correct production in the phonetic inventory. One child with conductive hearing loss due to malformation presented stopping and liquid simplification, and borderline results in the analysis of the phonetic inventory (75%). On the vocabulary test, two children with sensorineural unilateral hearing loss presented mean of Usual Verbal Designations below the expected for their ages in different semantic fields. There were no differences between children with sensorineural and conductive hearing loss in the phonology and vocabulary tests. Conclusion: Children with unilateral hearing loss are considered at risk for language development. We emphasize the importance of language and auditory monitoring of these children, providing early and efficient interventions, thus preventing possible language disorders and learning difficulties.Keywords: Hearing loss, Unilateral; Language development disorders; Child; Language; Vocabulary RESUMO Objetivo: Analisar o desempenho fonológico e do vocabulário de crianças com perda auditiva unilateral. Métodos: Participaram do estudo 12 crianças com perda auditiva unilateral, seis delas com perda condutiva por malformação congênita de orelha e seis com perda sensorioneural congênita ou adquirida no primeiro ano de vida, de qualquer grau, configuração, em qualquer ouvido e sem outro comprometimento associado, na faixa etária entre 3 anos e 7 meses e 7 anos e 8 meses. Foram aplicadas as provas de fonologia e vocabulário do "Teste de Linguagem Infantil -ABFW". Resultados: Trinta e três por cento das crianças apresentaram desempenho diferente do esperado para a faixa etária, no que concerne ao desenvolvimento fonológico (2 crianças) e lexical (2 crianças). Na prova de fonologia, 1 criança com perda sensorioneural apresentou processos produtivos não esperados para a faixa etária (simplificações das líquidas e ensurdecimento de fricativas) e baixos índices de acertos no inventário fonético. Uma criança com perda auditiva condutiva por malformação congênita de orelha apresentou plosivação de fri...

“…Research on children with UMHL has mainly focused on language and academic skills and conveys mixed findings: whereas some studies report outcomes for children with UMHL that are comparable to those of TH children (Fitzpatrick et al 2015;Niedzielski et al 2006;Wake et al 2006), others report difficulties among children with UMHL McFadden and Pittman 2008). A recent review identified many areas in which UMHL children may suffer compared with their TH peers; however, there is great variability within the group, and risk factors have not yet been sufficiently investigated .…”
