“…The decrease of F0 as a function of age can be explained by growth, longer length of time of exposure to sounds, and anatomical differences in the structure of the larynx and vocal tract. Audiological intervention, either with the use of a hearing aid or cochlear implant, plays a crucial role in the normalization of the above parameters [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. The results of our study show a convergence with other researchers` studies performed with other age groups.…”

Aim/Background: Individuals deprived of full hearing ability suffer from many problems in their social, professional, and personal lives. Prolonged hearing deprivation, particularly in children, results in many consequences including loss of control of one’s voice. Impaired hearing control of the voice leads to dysphonia of different degrees. The aim of this study was to analyse acoustic voice parameters in hearing-impaired, school-aged children (7–12 years) and the influence of treatment type on voice quality. Material and method: The subjects in this study were a group of 83 Polish school children, aged 7–12 years. ENT and phoniatric examination were performed on each subject prior to inclusion. Acoustic voice analysis was performed for each individual. The linguistic material was a prolonged [a] vowel. The acoustic analysis was performed with a digital spectrograph KAY 4300B for multidimensional voice analysis MDVP (Multi-Dimensional Voice Profile). The criterion to include patients in the study group was a profound prelingual, sensorineural hypoacusis. Within the study group, four subgroups were categorised according to the use of hearing devices: 20 children without any type of hearing device (HL), 20 children with hearing aids (HA), and 20 children with cochlear implants (CI). The children using hearing aids and cochlear implants were included in the study 6 months after the hearing rehabilitation was implemented. The control group (NH) consisted of 23 normal-hearing children, in the same age group, without any co-existing voice disorders. The statistical level of significance p < 0.05 was used. Results: The selected, clinically significant voice parameters were analysed for the groups of children in the study.

“…According to the literature, the younger the age at implantation, the better the results on oral language. 21 Some studies provide evidence of better speech and language development in children implanted before the age of 3 years than that in children implanted after this age, 22 23 but some show greater efficacy of implantation before 1 year of age. Dettman et al compared children implanted at 12 months of age and younger with children implanted between the ages of 13 and 24 months and found superior receptive and expressive language development among the younger implantees.…”

Background: Cochlear implants improve spoken language skills as well as social and academic performance in children with severe and profound sensorineural hearing loss. Purpose: To compare the social skills, academic competence, and problem behaviors in children with cochlear implants (CIs) and their typical-hearing peers and to investigate the relationship between language skills and social skills, academic competence, and problem behaviors in children with CIs. Research Design: Thirty-two children with CIs were divided into two groups according to implantation age: early (n=17) and late implanted group (n=15). The control group was formed by the inclusion of five same-sex classmates of each implanted child selected by the teachers of the children with CIs. Thus, 160 typical-hearing children were included in the control group. Study Sample: Thirty-two children with CIs and 160 typical-hearing children participated in this study. Data collection and analysis: Primary school teachers rated the children’s social skills, academic competence, and problem behaviors using the Social Skills Rating System (SSRS). The language skills of the children with CIs were assessed with the Turkish Expressive and Receptive Language Test (TIFALDI). Results: A statistically significant difference was found between the SSRS scores of the study and control groups, which was mostly due to lower social skills, and academic competence, and higher problem behavior ratings in the late implanted group. In the study group, there was a statistically significant correlation between TIFALDI and SSRS scores. Conclusion: Early cochlear implantation provides advantages in social skills and vocabulary for children with profound congenital hearing loss. Late implanted children need special support in different developmental areas despite attending mainstream education.

“…Nonetheless, it is highlighted that this hypothesis was not tested in the present research because muscle strength assessments were not performed. Even so, a study that analyzed the effects of age on the production of formants demonstrated changes in the formant frequencies, especially F2, relating age to the decrease in the participants' tongue muscle tone (23) .…”

RESUMO Objetivo Analisar e comparar os parâmetros vocais de usuários de dois tipos de dispositivos auditivos, IC e AASI, com perda auditiva pré e pós-lingual, a fim de verificar a influência desses dispositivos auditivos no feedback auditivo e na qualidade vocal. Métodos participaram dez adultos usuários de IC e oito adultos usuários de AASI, sendo nove com perda auditiva pré-lingual e nove com pós-lingual. Realizou-se avaliação perceptivoauditiva por meio do protocolo Consenso da Avaliação Perceptivoauditiva da Voz e análise acústica da voz pelo software PRAAT. A análise estatística utilizou testes não paramétricos, como Mann Whitney U e correlação de Spearman, com nível de significância de p<0,05. Resultados Observou-se diferença nas características sociodemográficas entre os grupos. Apesar de resultados semelhantes nos achados vocais, observou-se significância ao comparar os grupos de IC e AASI, em relação às frequências dos três primeiros formantes de algumas vogais e tensão vocal. Os sujeitos com perda auditiva pré-lingual apresentaram maior grau geral de desvio vocal e hipernasalidade. Conclusão Houve semelhança nos parâmetros vocais de ambos os grupos, não sendo possível inferir o impacto dos diferentes tipos de dispositivos auditivos analisados nos parâmetros acústicos da voz.
