“…The age hearing loss was first suspected was around 4.3 years old, mostly the child's mother and the medical diagnosis was usually made at the age of 6 years, similar data to those reported in other studies 1,2,5,12 . Although has a neonatal hearing screening program in Brazil, late detection of hearing problems, usually during preschool age, is still common, especially in case children at risk to hearing loss 5,13 .…”

The aim of study is to verify the association with oral communication disorders and unilateral sensorioneural hearing loss. Based on a preliminary cross-sectional study including 20 subjects, both females and males between seven and 19 years old (mean 10.8) with varying degrees of unilateral sensorineural hearing loss who attended a speech and language therapy service in São Paulo, Brazil. All patients underwent anamnesis, auditory evaluation, and a standard structured interview to collect information about their language, communication and auditory performance. In general subjects were diagnosed with hearing loss at mean age of 6.3 years. Five (25%) of these subjects had a history of school failure and hearing loss in the left ear. The most common communication disorders reported were associated to oral communication. Language, communication and auditory performance was affected by varying degrees of unilateral hearing loss and comorbidities as lack of attention, irritability and agitation are associated to communication disorders resulting from unilateral hearing loss in this sample.

“…6,24,25 Other research groups have documented poor speech-recognition performance of children with UHL when measured in the presence of background noise. 6,26 For example, Bovo et al 6 found significantly poorer speech-recognition performance for a group of children with UHL as compared to their normal-hearing peers, even in a monaural direct condition. This was the case whether the child had left or right ear impairment.…”

Since the early 1980s, audiologists have become increasingly aware of the potential effect of even mild degrees of hearing loss on the psychoeducational and psychosocial outcomes of children. This review describes some of the key research findings during the past several decades that have led us to our current thinking about unilateral and mild bilateral hearing loss in children. The first section addresses unilateral hearing loss. This is followed by a review of the literature on mild bilateral hearing loss. Specifically, the issues addressed include the significance of permanent mild degrees of hearing loss on children's psychoeducational and psychosocial development and the speech, language, and auditory characteristics of children with mild degrees of hearing loss. Finally, some recommendations regarding the direction of future research are offered. This review is followed by 2 articles summarizing the proceedings of a 2005 workshop convened by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) program, and the Marion Downs Hearing Center to address concerns about the underidentification of—and professionals' apparent lack of awareness of—permanent unilateral and minimal to mild hearing loss in children. 56,57

“…2,3 As summarized by Tharpe 4 in this issue, when left undetected, both UHL and MBHL can adversely affect development and can result in difficulties in speech, language, behavior, and academic achievement in some children. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] Therefore, this underidentification is potentially of significant concern to audiologists, early interventionists, speech-language pathologists, parents, educators, and others. M ore than 90% of newborns in the United States are now being screened for hearing loss.…”

More than 90% of newborns in the United States are now being screened for hearing loss. A large fraction of cases of unilateral hearing loss and mild bilateral hearing loss are not currently identified through newborn hearing screening. This is of concern because a preponderance of research has demonstrated that unilateral hearing loss and mild bilateral hearing loss can lead to developmental delays and educational problems for some children. To help address this probable underidentification of unilateral hearing loss and mild bilateral hearing loss among infants and children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Early Hearing Detection and Intervention program and the Marion Downs Hearing Center convened a workshop in Breckenridge, Colorado, in July 2005. During this workshop, several issues related to screening and diagnosing unilateral hearing loss and mild bilateral hearing loss were identified, as well as recommendations for future research in this area. Issues identified included the lack of standardized definitions for permanent unilateral hearing loss and mild bilateral hearing loss; the use of screening protocols that are primarily designed to identify bilateral and unilateral hearing losses of a moderate degree or greater (eg, above 40 dB); calibration of screening equipment; availability of facilities that can provide the full range of audiologic, diagnostic, and management services to this pediatric population; and an overall lack of awareness by many professionals and families about the potential effect of unilateral hearing loss and mild bilateral hearing loss. Suggestions for future research, such as identifying ways to improve the identification of cases of unilateral hearing loss and mild bilateral hearing loss, were also discussed.
