“…Communication difficulties have been consistently identified as a key mechanism linking hearing loss and mental health problems [2,6,8,10]. We controlled for speech and language problems in our analyses, and this may be a key reason why there was no association between hearing problems and mental health problems among the 4-11 year olds once we controlled for this factor, among others.…”

Objective: This study aimed to characterise the risk of mental health problems among a representative sample of 6,310 4-17 year olds, 147 of whom had parent-reported hearing problems. Methods:The study used data from the Young Minds Matter survey. The Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children (DISC-IV) assessed prevalence of mood, anxiety and behavioural disorders. The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) assessed social and emotional problems. Logistic regression models were used to estimate odds of having mental health problems adjusting for child factors (speech and language problems, global health, age and gender), family factors (family structure, parent income, education, financial strain and psychological distress) and school-related factors (bullying, school liking, school absence). Results:In unadjusted analyses children and young people with hearing problems had substantially higher odds of most mental health problems. Hearing problems were not associated with any mental health problem among 4-11 year olds after adjusting for other child factors. After adjustments for child, family and school-related factors, 12-17 year olds with a hearing problem remained at greater risk of social phobia and generalised anxiety (DISC-IV), and of peer and emotional problems (SDQ). Conclusions:Clinicians caring for children and young people with hearing problems should be alert for heightened risk of specific mental health problems based on age and the nature of hearing problems. Understanding a wider range of correlates associated with the higher prevalence of mental health problems may allow health professionals to be more informed about the nature of mental health problems that are comorbid to hearing problems.

“…Although, as we pointed out before, the use of the inadequate communicative strategies in the family environment is related with behavior problems in children, this situation is even worse when there is a disability affecting them directly , as it occurs in children with hearing impairment (Barker, Quittner, Fink, Eisenberg, Tobey & Niparko, 2009;Van Eldik, Treffers, Veerman & Verhulst, 2004).…”

In order to explain the worst levels of adaptation showed by children with disabilities in relation to non disabled children, this paper aims to carry out a review of the most important advances achieved in recent decades in the study of parenting styles and parenting practices in relation to academic competence and behavior problems of children with and without disabilities. For this, we have carried out an analysis of the main works that show this relationship in the population, and then, we did the same including disability as a differentiating factor. In this sense, the authoritative style and specific parenting practices such as setting limits, communication, autonomy or monitoring are described as good predictors of adaptive behavior in children. However, we miss studies to confirm this relationship in children with disabilities. In this population, most of the papers refer, on the one hand, to expectations and, on the other hand, the stress in parenting and its effect on the parents' mental health. In conclusion, the need to provide additional information about family relationships and disability is discussed.

“…At this young age, language skill deficits in the PCHL children were not related to high EBD score. However, after the age of 3 years, language abilities in deaf children have been found to be closely related to their social functioning and behaviour (Barker, Quittner, Fink, Tobey, & Niparko, 2009; Meinzen‐Derr et al., 2014). The same association between language ability and behaviour difficulty, specifically peer relationship problems, has also been found in deaf adolescents (Fellinger, Holzinger, Beitel, Laucht, & Goldberg, 2009).…”

BackgroundPermanent childhood hearing loss (PCHL) is associated with an elevated level of emotional and behaviour difficulties (EBD). In children and adolescents with PCHL, EBD has been found to be linked to language ability in children with PCHL. The present study was designed to test whether childhood language and/or reading comprehension abilities of children with PCHL predict subsequent EBD in adolescence.MethodsLanguage comprehension (LC) and reading comprehension (RC) were measured at ages 6–10 years (Time 1) and 13–20 years (Time 2) in participants with PCHL who preferred to communicate using spoken language (n = 57) and a hearing comparison group (n = 38). EBD was measured at both time points by parent and by teacher ratings on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire.ResultsWithin the PCHL group there were negative correlations between EBD scores and concurrent LC and RC scores at Time 1 and at Time 2. Cross‐lagged latent variable models fitted to the longitudinal data indicated that the associations between LC, RC and teacher‐rated EBD were more likely to arise from the impact of LC and RC on behaviour rather than the other way around.ConclusionsIn those with PCHL, poor language and reading comprehension in middle childhood increased the risk of emotional and behaviour difficulties at school in the teenage years. The results suggest that effective language and literacy interventions for children with hearing loss may also bring benefits to their mental health.
