Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children with residual hearing have become eligible for consideration as CI candidates in some pediatric programs because of the positive clinical research outcomes of cochlear implant (CI). However, decision-making about CIs for children with residual hearing is difficult for parents because they experience uncertainty when their children show auditory benefits and are developing language through hearing aids (HAs). Clinicians may be uncomfortable recommending CI for these children due to variability in audiometric candidacy criteria in individual clinical practice. However, there is very limited information about the CI decision-making process and needs to assist the parents of these children and practitioners. We conducted a comprehensive study to better understand and support the CI decision-making experiences of families and practitioners. The objectives of our study were to: 1) explore the clinical characteristics and outcomes of children with residual hearing who received CIs, 2) summarize the evidence about the benefits and risks of CIs compared to HAs in children with residual hearing, and 3) explore the decision-making process and needs for children with residual hearing from the perspective of parents and practitioners. This research project combined quantitative and qualitative research designs. A retrospective chart review was conducted to address the first objective. Data on the clinical characteristics of children with residual hearing were extracted from medical charts from a tertiary care pediatric CI center in Ottawa, Canada. A systematic review was performed on the benefits and risks of CIs versus HAs for children with residual hearing to address the second objective. The third objective was addressed through two sub-studies. The first sub-study involved qualitative semi-structured interviews. A total of 12 parents participated in individual interviews. In the second sub-study, 17 practitioners at a pediatric CI center in Ottawa, Canada, and specialized teachers of the deaf and hard of hearing at local school boards were recruited, and four focus groups and one individual interview were conducted. This study showed that a total of 100 of 389 (25.7%) children who received CIs from 1992 to 2018 at the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) had residual hearing, representing more than half the children who were implanted in the last two years covered by the study. As documented in our study, overall, children with residual hearing demonstrated benefits in auditory functioning following cochlear implantation. Approximately 70% of these children achieved open-set word perception scores of 80% or more post-CI. In the systematic reviews, a total of 3265 citations were identified, of which eight studies met inclusion criteria. The articles consisted of four moderate and two weak quality pre-post cohort studies and two weak quality cross-sectional studies. The systematic review confirmed that children with CIs showed significantly better speech perception scores than those with HAs. Limited evidence of improvement in auditory performance and non-significant improvement in speech intelligibility was found. Two aspects of social-emotional functioning (hyperactivity/inattention and pro-social behaviour) showed significant improvement with CIs. Our finding also contributes new information about the loss of residual hearing and device use. Four studies provided data on risks following CIs; a total of 16 of 43 (37.2%) children showed loss of residual hearing and 14.0% (8/57) of children had discontinued or limited use of their CI or HA. The qualitative interviews revealed that both parents and practitioners identified child's everyday functioning as an important factor that influenced their decision-making. It was clear through the qualitative research with parents that they held a strong preference for child's inclusion into hearing society. Spoken communication was a core value for the parents of these children and some parents expressed high expectations that their children's hearing would become 'normal'. We found that practitioners primarily supported parental decision-making by providing information on the practical aspects of the benefits and risks of CIs. Overall parents were satisfied with the decision-making process and decision support from practitioners. However, parents stressed the importance of receiving more personalized information that considered their specific concerns, values and preferences related to their child and family's circumstances. Practitioners also noted that more research among children with residual hearing is needed to guide parental CI decision-making. To our knowledge, the findings from this dissertation are the first to examine decision-making for children with residual hearing. Our study contributes new information about the characteristics of children receiving CIs, the potential benefits and risks for children with residual hearing, and decision-making needs from the perspectives of families and practitioners. In addition, our research is a useful first step in understanding what families need to make better decisions to assist in the CI decision-making process for this specific population.

Download or read book Evaluating Hearing Loss for Individuals with Cochlear Implants written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by . This book was released on 2021-12-30 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. Social Security Administration (SSA) administers programs that provide disability benefits. Once SSA establishes the presence of a severe impairment, it determines whether the impairment meets the criteria in the Listing of Impairments (Listings) that qualify a candidate for disability benefits. The current Listings that address hearing loss treated with cochlear implantation contain criteria that evaluate hearing ability through a speech recognition test called the Hearing in Noise Test (HINT). Since its development in 1994, the HINT has been widely used to measure cochlear implant candidacy and postoperative outcomes. However, the test characteristics, the state of cochlear implant technology, and the environment that made the HINT a common choice of assessment in 1994 are different in 2021. The HINT has several limitations in its characteristics and deviation from its intended use. At the request of SSA, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a consensus study committee to identify and recommend generalized testing procedures and criteria for evaluating the level of functional hearing ability needed to make a disability determination in adults and children after cochlear implantation. The committee's report, Evaluating Hearing Loss for Individuals with Cochlear Implants, details and supports its findings, conclusions, and recommendations based on published evidence and professional judgment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective: To describe the clinical outcomes in children diagnosed with Auditory Neuropathy/Auditory Dys-synchrony (AN/AD) who have received cochlear implants. Study Design: A prospective study of children diagnosed with AN/AD who have received a cochlear implant. Setting: Tertiary care pediatric referral center. Patients: Seven children with AN/AD identified from a pediatric otology/audiology clinic, whose treatment choice included cochlear implantation. A control group included seven children who received cochlear implant, but whose etiology of hearing loss varied. Outcome Measures: Seven of the children were seen for follow-up testing. Testing included, when age-appropriate: soundfield NBN and speech awareness testing, LNT and/or MLNT, HINT sentences, IT-MAIS and/or MAIS, and otoacoustic emissions. In addition, parents completed a Perceived Benefits Questionnaire, which was developed at our facility. Results: All children showed improvement with the use of a cochlear implant. Performance varied and was likely affected by additional handicapping conditions, age at implantation, duration of implant use, educational setting and/or communication mode as well as compliance with device usage and rehabilitation. Results of the Perceived Benefits Questionnaire were comparable to results from children without AN/AD who have cochlear implants. Conclusion: Children with AN/AD receive measurable benefit from the use of a cochlear implant. Their progress is similar to that of other children with cochlear implants without AN/AD. The degree of clinical outcome variability seen in the general pediatric cochlear implant population is also evident in the subgroup of children with AN/AD. Parents may perceive benefits for their child using a cochlear implant even though objective testing may not reflect these benefits. Additional medical and/or educational disabilities may impact the results obtained on standard tests in children with AN/AD. Development of the Perceived Benefits Questionnaire may be helpful in measuring cochlear implant benefit in children who are not able to participate in standard testing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Millions of Americans experience some degree of hearing loss. The Social Security Administration (SSA) operates programs that provide cash disability benefits to people with permanent impairments like hearing loss, if they can show that their impairments meet stringent SSA criteria and their earnings are below an SSA threshold. The National Research Council convened an expert committee at the request of the SSA to study the issues related to disability determination for people with hearing loss. This volume is the product of that study. Hearing Loss: Determining Eligibility for Social Security Benefits reviews current knowledge about hearing loss and its measurement and treatment, and provides an evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses of the current processes and criteria. It recommends changes to strengthen the disability determination process and ensure its reliability and fairness. The book addresses criteria for selection of pure tone and speech tests, guidelines for test administration, testing of hearing in noise, special issues related to testing children, and the difficulty of predicting work capacity from clinical hearing test results. It should be useful to audiologists, otolaryngologists, disability advocates, and others who are concerned with people who have hearing loss.
