Assessment and Treatment of Behavioral Disorders in Children with Hearing Loss: A Systematic Review.
Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg
January 2019
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the higher incidence of behavioral disorders in children who are deaf or hard of hearing (DHH) and notes that their language developmental delays can complicate assessment and treatment.
- A review of 36 articles from the past 30 years shows a correlation between internalizing behaviors and hearing loss, which may persist even after cochlear implantation, with additional disabilities worsening these issues.
- Despite the evidence of behavioral problems, there is a lack of clear understanding of the underlying mechanisms and few effective interventions, highlighting the need for future research to explore solutions for DHH children.
