Abstract
Hearing impairment is a common disease, affecting about five percent of the population. It puts great pressure on children, their families and society, and has become an significant problem affecting daily life. In recent years, great progress has been made in the study of hearing loss in children. This paper describes the ear structure, the causes of hearing impairment, the assessment and diagnosis of hearing impairment and the current applicable treatment methods through literature review. Previous research on hearing loss in children is summarized in this paper and provides some references for the further research.
Highlights
More than five percent of the world's population has some degree of hearing impairment [1]
The purpose of this paper is to describe the objective functional effects of current hearing rehabilitation programs through literature review, and to provide some references for future research on children hearing impairment
According to the different groups of people who currently treat children with hearing loss, this article will be divided into three parts, which are the treatment done by audiologists, the treatment done by auditory training software, and the adjuvant treatment done by parents of children with hearing loss
Summary
More than five percent of the world's population has some degree of hearing impairment [1]. Otitis media is one of the most common causes of conductive hearing loss in children. Developmental defects in the inner ear can lead to sensorineural hearing loss [4]. Most patients with this type of infection are adults. In the treatment of unilateral hearing loss, non-surgical methods, like FM system (a conventional choice for patients with mild to profound UHL) has a good effect for patients with mild to moderate UHL, which is more effective than conventional hearing aids. The causes of hearing impairment were concluded through literature analysis of articles in the past 10 years, and the commonly used assessment methods and treatment schemes were summarized. The purpose of this paper is to describe the objective functional effects of current hearing rehabilitation programs through literature review, and to provide some references for future research on children hearing impairment
