“…A functional MRI study has revealed that the degree of synchronization was lower for the autistic than for others. This functional under connectivity could be due to microgliosis and astrogliosis [21] and can result in delayed nerve conduction [22]. It may explain the relatively increased doses of sedatives to achieve the desired level in autistic patients.…”

“…These intervals reflect trans-synaptic transmission. Matschke, Stenzel, Plath, and Zilles [ 19 ], in a study of 39 human brains ranging in age from 29 weeks of gestation to 70 years, demonstrated that myelination takes place in the first year of life which is necessary for functional maturation. It appears that normal auditory development is dependent on adequate stimulation during this sensitive period of life.…”

Effect of early onset otitis media on brainstem and cortical auditory processing

Background: Otitis media (OM) leads to significant reduction in the hearing sensitivity. The reduced auditory input, if in the early years of life when the auditory neural system is still maturing, may adversely influence the structural as well as functional development of the system. Past research has reported abnormalities in both the structure and function of brainstem nuclei following auditory deprivation, but, it has not necessarily focused on children who had OM in their first year of life. It can also be said that if auditory processing is affected at the brainstem level because of early onset OM (reduced auditory input in the crucial periods of neural development), then, it may be said that auditory processing is also affected at the cortical level because it receives distorted input from the brainstem. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to document the effects of early onset OM on auditory processing, if any, at the brainstem as well as at cortical levels. A related purpose of the study was to investigate the persistence of the effects of early onset OM, if any, on auditory processing.

“…Die Eltern [7], gegebenenfalls auch das Kind selbst [5] sollten darauf hingewiesen werden, bei plötzlicher Akzeptanzveränderung baldmöglichst eine aktuelle Kontrolle zu veranlassen: Neben Hörgerätemängeln, Cerumen, otoplastikbedingten Reaktionen im äuße-ren Gehörgang und die im Kindesalter besonders häufigen mittelohrbedingten Hörstörungen wäre hierbei eine In unserem Patientengut war eine nicht korrekte Otoplastikform der Grund für 9% aller Mängel, wobei ein Hörschwellenänderung, etwa im Sinne einer Nachreifung der Hörbahn oder einer Progredienz auszuschließen [8,11,13,15].…”

Specific hearing aid selection and careful fitting are essential for successful rehabilitation of hearing-impaired children. For this reason the different hearing aid types prescribed, the type and frequency of hearing aid insufficiencies reported and the effectiveness and regularity of our follow-ups were studied evaluating 253 followup exams in 39 children (71 ears) suffering of a sensorineural hearing loss, including all degrees, supplied with a behind-the-ear hearing aid. Most of the devices had been prescribed outside our department on an initial trial basis. After critical evaluation, the number of hearing aid types was reduced from 33 to 23 when corresponding devices failed to match well with the degrees and types of hearing losses present. A further decrease in hearing aid types could not be achieved as a consequence of many being already end-prescribed. Insufficiencies (n = 222) were found in 60% of the hearing aid evaluations: 59% involved dynamic hearing aid adjustments requiring better amplification (37%), distortion (18%) and dynamics (4%). Additionally, 16% affected hearing aid function and another 16% form (9%) and material (4%) of the otoplasty and the tube (3%). The last 9% of the deficiencies concerned the potentiometer cap: it hadn't been fitted in about half of the cases and had been lost in the other half despite being needed. Routine followup evaluations of the hearing aids occurred regularly in 76% of the cases with an effectiveness of 73%. Our results confirm the importance and necessity for pedaudiologic qualitative hearing aid controls in children.
