Purpose: The main aim of this systematic review was to investigate the possible association between hearing loss [and/or history of otitis media with effusion (OME)] and learning difficulties in children. Secondary aims were to: (i) investigate if deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children with learning difficulties might show different clinical and neuropsychological features compared with those with other neurodevelopmental disorders; (ii) identify possible predictors of learning difficulty in DHH children.
Methods: A review was conducted of the scientific literature reported by Pubmed, Cochrane and Scopus databases.
Article Synopsis
- * A study in Northeastern Italy analyzed 57 patients with GJB2/GJB6 mutations and categorized them by mutation types, revealing 59.64% had homozygous mutations and distinct hearing thresholds based on genotype.
- * The findings suggest further research is needed to deepen understanding of the clinical and audiological characteristics tied to GJB2/GJB6 mutations, indicating that larger studies are essential for broader confirmation.
