Clear Relation

Changes in auditory threshold, psychophysical tuning curves, and speech perception (in both quiet and noise) were monitored over a 3-hr period following the ingestion of glycerol. All listeners had sensorineural hearing loss secondary to Menière's disease. Findings were characterized by large intersubject variability and in general did not show a clear relation between changes in threshold, frequency resolution, and speech perception.

Presentation Level

Several investigations were performed with normal hearing subjects to determine the effects of presentation level and signal-to-babble ratio on the speech perception in noise (SPIN) test. The SPIN test contains sentences that simulate a range of contextual situations encountered in everyday speech communication. Findings from several representative patients with sensorineural hearing loss demonstrate the possible clinical utility of the test to measure the effects of context on speech discrimination.

Auditory Performance

Mucopolysaccharidosis IVA (OMIM 253000; also known as Morquio A syndrome) is associated with skeletal, airway, and hearing abnormalities. Cochlear implantation is an effective intervention for patients with severe-to-profound hearing loss. Patients can gain substantial improvement in auditory performance, speech perception, and their quality of life from cochlear implantation. Although severe progressive sensorineural hearing loss is a common feature of mucopolysaccharidosis IVA, no detailed description of cochlear implantation for mucopolysaccharidosis IVA has been reported. To review the effectiveness and special considerations associated with cochlear implantation in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA, we here report the case of cochlear implantation in mucopolysaccharidosis IVA by a multidisciplinary team. A retrospective chart review was conducted on a 34-year-old female with mucopolysaccharidosis IVA, who received a cochlear implant. Audiometric thresholds, speech perception scores, and cochlear implant processor mapping information were reviewed during the first 12 months following cochlear implantation. The results of audiological tests indicate improved hearing thresholds as well as remarkable enhancement of speech perception skills over 12 months of cochlear implant use. Cochlear implantation improved auditory performance in a mucopolysaccharidosis IVA patient with postlingually severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss. The benefits of cochlear implantation could be meaningful for other Morquio patients with progressive hearing loss, although the risks of surgery and anesthesia should be carefully considered by a multidisciplinary team of experts during the cochlear implant candidacy process.

Childhood Hearing Loss

Abstract Background The Longitudinal Outcomes of Children with Hearing Impairment (LOCHI) study is a prospective study commenced in 2005 that was aimed to examine the effect of age of hearing loss identification and intervention on outcomes for children with hearing loss, such as language and psychosocial development. Permanent childhood hearing loss has a significant impact on child development. Methods 450 children identified with permanent sensorineural hearing loss prior to 3 years of age in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria completed comprehensive speech, language and audiological assessments at defined age intervals. Multiple regression analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM) were completed to determine factors influencing outcomes at 5 and 9 years of age. Results Regression models indicated outcomes were significantly influenced by age of hearing loss intervention, nonverbal cognitive ability, maternal education level and communication mode. A significant predictive effect of early language skill was seen on later language development. SEM found that the impact of age of hearing loss intervention on language outcomes was mediated by its effect on cognitive development and speech perception. Language ability influenced psychosocial development. Conclusions Early identification and intervention of hearing loss improves language and psychosocial development, via its influence on cognitive development and speech perception. Key messages Early hearing loss identification and intervention improves language and psychosocial development for children with permanent sensorineural hearing loss. Evidence from the LOCHI study has guided clinical management guidelines of children with hearing loss.
