Kaplan-Neeman R, Greenbom T, Habiballah S, Henkin Y. Biomarkers of auditory cortical plasticity and development of binaural pathways in children with unilateral hearing loss using a hearing aid. Hear Res 2024; 451:109096. [PMID: 39116708 DOI: 10.1016/j.heares.2024.109096] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/24/2023] [Revised: 07/13/2024] [Accepted: 08/01/2024] [Indexed: 08/10/2024]
Abstract
Congenital or early-onset unilateral hearing loss (UHL) can disrupt the normal development of the auditory system. In extreme cases of UHL (i.e., single sided deafness), consistent cochlear implant use during sensitive periods resulted in cortical reorganization that partially reversed the detrimental effects of unilateral sensory deprivation. There is a gap in knowledge, however, regarding cortical plasticity i.e. the brain's capacity to adapt, reorganize, and develop binaural pathways in milder degrees of UHL rehabilitated by a hearing aid (HA). The current study was set to investigate early-stage cortical processing and electrophysiological manifestations of binaural processing by means of cortical auditory evoked potentials (CAEPs) to speech sounds, in children with moderate to severe-to-profound UHL using a HA. Fourteen children with UHL (CHwUHL), 6-14 years old consistently using a HA for 3.5 (±2.3) years participated in the study. CAEPs were elicited to the speech sounds /m/, /g/, and /t/ in three listening conditions: monaural [Normal hearing (NH), HA], and bilateral [BI (NH + HA)]. Results indicated age-appropriate CAEP morphology in the NH and BI listening conditions in all children. In the HA listening condition: (1) CAEPs showed similar morphology to that found in the NH listening condition, however, the mature morphology observed in older children in the NH listening condition was not evident; (2) P1 was elicited in all but two children with severe-to-profound hearing loss, to at least one speech stimuli, indicating effective audibility; (3) A significant mismatch in timing and synchrony between the NH and HA ear was found; (4) P1 was sensitive to the acoustic features of the eliciting stimulus and to the amplification characteristics of the HA. Finally, a cortical binaural interaction component (BIC) was derived in most children. In conclusion, the current study provides first-time evidence for cortical plasticity and partial reversal of the detrimental effects of moderate to severe-to-profound UHL rehabilitated by a HA. The derivation of a cortical biomarker of binaural processing implies that functional binaural pathways can develop when sufficient auditory input is provided to the affected ear. CAEPs may thus serve as a clinical tool for assessing, monitoring, and managing CHwUHL using a HA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Evidence from school-aged children suggests that the ease with which children listen varies with the presence of hearing loss and the acoustic environment despite the use of devices like hearing aids. However, little is known about the ease of listening in preschool-aged children with hearing loss-an age at which rapid learning occurs and increased listening difficulty or effort may diminish the required capacity to learn new skills. To this end, the objectives of the present study were to (i) assess parent-reported aided ease of listening as a function of hearing loss configuration (hearing loss in one versus both ears) and device configuration among children with hearing loss in one ear (unilateral hearing loss), and (ii) investigate factors that influence children's ease of listening. DESIGN Parents of 83 children with normal hearing, 54 aided children with bilateral hearing loss (hearing loss in both ears), and 139 children with unilateral hearing loss participated in the study. Of the 139 children with unilateral loss, 72 were unaided, 54 were aided with a device on the ear with hearing loss (direct aiding) and 13 were aided with a device that routed signals to the contralateral normal hearing ear (indirect aiding). Mean age of children was 40.2 months (1 SD = 2.5; range: 36 to 51). Parents completed the two subscales of the Parents' Evaluation of Aural/Oral Performance of Children+ (PEACH+) questionnaire, namely functional listening and ease of listening. Individual percent scores were computed for quiet and noisy situations. Linear mixed-effects models were used to assess the effect of hearing loss configuration and device configuration in children with unilateral hearing loss. Multiple regression was used to assess factors that influenced ease of listening. Factors included hearing thresholds, age at first device fit, consistency in device use, condition (quiet/noise), presence of developmental disabilities, and functional listening abilities. RESULTS Children with direct aiding for their hearing loss, either unilateral or bilateral, had similarly lower functional listening skills and ease of listening than their normal hearing peers. Unaided children with unilateral hearing loss had lower functional listening skills and ease of listening than their normal hearing peers in noise but not in quiet. All aided children with unilateral hearing loss, irrespective of direct or indirect aiding had lower functional listening skills and ease of listening relative to normal hearing children in both quiet and noise. Furthermore, relative to unaided children with unilateral hearing loss, those with indirect aiding had lower functional listening and ease of listening. Regression analyses revealed functional listening as a significant predictor of ease of listening in all children with hearing loss. In addition, worse degrees of hearing loss and presence of noise reduced ease of listening in unaided children with unilateral hearing loss. CONCLUSIONS Bilateral hearing loss is associated with poorer-than-typical ease of listening in preschoolers even when aided. The impact of unilateral hearing loss on ease of listening is similar to that observed in children with bilateral hearing loss, despite good hearing in one ear and aiding. Given increased difficulties experienced by children with unilateral loss, with or without a device, additional strategies to facilitate communication abilities in noise should be a priority.

Abstract
PURPOSE Self-reported listening-related fatigue in adolescents with hearing loss (HL) was investigated. Specifically, the extent to which listening-related fatigue is associated with school accommodations, audiologic characteristics, and listening breaks was examined. METHOD Participants were 144 adolescents with HL ages 12-19 years. Data were collected online via Qualtrics. The Vanderbilt Fatigue Scale-Child was used to measure listening-related fatigue. Participants also reported on their use of listening breaks and school accommodations, including an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 plan, remote microphone systems, closed captioning, preferential seating, sign language interpreters, live transcriptions, and notetakers. RESULTS After controlling for age, HL laterality, and self-perceived listening difficulty, adolescents with an IEP or a 504 plan reported lower listening-related fatigue compared to adolescents without an IEP or a 504 plan. Adolescents who more frequently used remote microphone systems or notetakers reported higher listening-related fatigue compared to adolescents who used these accommodations less frequently, whereas increased use of a sign language interpreter was associated with decreased listening-related fatigue. Among adolescents with unilateral HL, higher age was associated with lower listening-related fatigue; no effect of age was found among adolescents with bilateral HL. Listening-related fatigue did not differ based on hearing device configuration. CONCLUSIONS Adolescents with HL should be considered at risk for listening-related fatigue regardless of the type of hearing devices used or the degree of HL. The individualized support provided by an IEP or 504 plan may help alleviate listening-related fatigue, especially by empowering adolescents with HL to be self-advocates in terms of their listening needs and accommodations in school. Additional research is needed to better understand the role of specific school accommodations and listening breaks in addressing listening-related fatigue.

Abstract
Background Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) with chemotherapy induced sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) are at risk for neurocognitive impairments. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between SNHL and cognitive function among CCS. Procedure Inclusion: non-CNS solid tumor diagnosis; history of platinum chemotherapy (cisplatin and/or carboplatin); 8-17 years of age; off anti-cancer treatment for ≥6 months; and English speaking. Exclusion: history of intrathecal chemotherapy, cranial radiation, or baseline neurocognitive disorder. Participants completed the NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery at enrollment. T-tests were used to compare participants with normal hearing to those with hearing loss and the total sample with established Toolbox normative data (mean: 50; SD: 10). Results Fifty-seven individuals enrolled; 52 completed full cognitive testing. Participants were on average 12.2 years of age and 7.0 years since treatment completion. Twenty-one participants (40%) received cisplatin, 27 (52%) carboplatin, and 4 (8%) received both. Fifteen participants (29%) demonstrated SNHL based on the better ear. CCS, regardless of the presence or absence of SNHL, demonstrated significantly lower mean cognitive skills compared to the normative sample in attention, executive function, language- vocabulary and oral reading, processing speed, and fluid, crystallized and total composite scores (all p < 0.01). Participants with SNHL had significantly lower crystallized composite (vocabulary, oral reading) than those with normal hearing (41.9 vs. 47.2, p < 0.05, Cohen's d = 0.62). Conclusions CCS at risk for platinum induced hearing loss but without cranial radiation or intrathecal chemotherapy exposure demonstrate impaired cognitive skills and those with SNHL demonstrate lower crystallized composite scores.

Abstract
Single sided deafness (SSD) is characterized by significant sensorineural hearing loss, severe or profound, in only one ear. SSD adversely affects various aspects of auditory perception, including causing impairment in sound localization, difficulties with speech comprehension in noisy environments, and decreased spatial awareness, resulting in a significant decline in overall quality of life (QoL). Several treatment options are available for SSD, including cochlear implants (CI), contralateral routing of signal (CROS), and bone conduction devices (BCD). The lack of consensus on outcome domains and measurement tools complicates treatment comparisons and decision-making. This narrative overview aims to summarize the treatment options available for SSD in adult and pediatric populations, discussing their respective advantages and disadvantages. Rerouting devices (CROS and BCD) attenuate the effects of head shadow and improve sound awareness and signal-to-noise ratio in the affected ear; however, they cannot restore binaural hearing. CROS devices, being non-implantable, are the least invasive option. Cochlear implantation is the only strategy that can restore binaural hearing, delivering significant improvements in speech perception, spatial localization, tinnitus control, and overall QoL. Comprehensive preoperative counseling, including a discussion of alternative technologies, implications of no treatment, expectations, and auditory training, is critical to optimizing therapeutic outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the fatigue levels of children with hearing loss (HL) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), hypothesizing that the fatigue experienced by children with HL is under-recognized. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional survey. METHODS We identified children aged 2-18 with HL, OSA, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB), and controls from a pediatric otolaryngology clinic and sleep center. Children and/or parents completed the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (PedsQL MFS), Hearing Environments And Reflection on Quality of Life (HEAR-QL), and OSA-18. RESULTS Responses of 50 children with HL, 79 with OSA, and 18 with SDB were compared with those of 49 recruited controls (RC) and literature controls (LC). Children with HL or OSA had higher fatigue than controls in the PedsQL MFS self-reported (HL 65.4, OSA 54.7, RC 71.8, LC 80.5, p < 0.001) and parent-reported (HL 64.6, OSA 59.3, RC 75.2, LC 89.6, p < 0.001). Children with HL had Cognitive Fatigue similar to that of children with OSA (self 60.4 vs. 49.5, p = 0.170; parent 56.0 vs. 56.7, p = 0.998), though with decreased Sleep/Rest Fatigue (self 67.8 vs. 56.3, p = 0.033; parent 69.8 vs. 57.5, p = 0.001). Children with HL or OSA had lower disease-related quality of life (QOL) than controls in the HEAR-QL and OSA-18, respectively. Stratification with disease severity revealed no differences in fatigue. CONCLUSION Children with HL or OSA experience higher fatigue and lower QOL than controls. Similar Cognitive Fatigue in both groups suggests under-recognized fatigue in children with HL.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Social determinants of health (SDOH) (healthcare access and quality, education access and quality, socioeconomic status, social and cultural context, neighborhood and built environment) ( Healthy People 2030 ) have been shown to impact a wide range of health-related outcomes and access to care. Given the medical and nonmedical costs associated with children with unilateral hearing loss (UHL), the varied insurance coverage for hearing healthcare services, and the differences in hearing aid utilization rates between children of different sociodemographic classes, the sociodemographic information of children with UHL enrolled in research studies should be collected to ensure the generalizability of hearing healthcare interventions. Therefore, the objective of this scoping review is to assess the reporting of SDOH data for participants in studies of pediatric UHL and its comparison to population trends. DESIGN Two searches of published literature were conducted by a qualified medical librarian. Two reviewers then evaluated all candidate articles. Study inclusion parameters were from 2010 to present, peer-reviewed studies with prospective study design, and participant population including children (age 0 to 18 years old) with UHL. RESULTS Two literature searches using PubMed Medline and Embase found 442 and 3058 studies each for review. After abstract and paper review, 87 studies were included in final qualitative review, with 22 of these studies reporting race distribution of participants, 15 reporting insurance status or family income, and 12 reporting the maternal education level. CONCLUSIONS Sociodemographic data are not commonly reported in research studies of children with UHL. In reported samples, research participants are more likely to have private insurance and higher family income compared with overall population distribution. These demographic biases may affect the generalizability of study results to all children with UHL. Further evaluation is warranted to evaluate whether participant recruitment affects outcomes that reflect the overall population.

Abstract
There is broad consensus that listening effort is an important outcome for measuring hearing performance. However, there remains debate on the best ways to measure listening effort. This study sought to measure neural correlates of listening effort using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in experienced adult hearing aid users. The study evaluated impacts of amplification and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) on cerebral blood oxygenation, with the expectation that easier listening conditions would be associated with less oxygenation in the prefrontal cortex. Thirty experienced adult hearing aid users repeated sentence-final words from low-context Revised Speech Perception in Noise Test sentences. Participants repeated words at a hard SNR (individual SNR-50) or easy SNR (individual SNR-50 + 10 dB), while wearing hearing aids fit to prescriptive targets or without wearing hearing aids. In addition to assessing listening accuracy and subjective listening effort, prefrontal blood oxygenation was measured using fNIRS. As expected, easier listening conditions (i.e., easy SNR, with hearing aids) led to better listening accuracy, lower subjective listening effort, and lower oxygenation across the entire prefrontal cortex compared to harder listening conditions. Listening accuracy and subjective listening effort were also significant predictors of oxygenation.
