Abstract | This study compared the language, reading, classroom, and quality of life outcomes of primary school-aged children with aural atresia (AA) to matched controls. Participants included 10 children with AA (eight unilateral) and 10 children with typical hearing matched by chronological and mental age. All children with AA had been fitted with an amplification device. Outcome measures included standardized tests of language, reading, and functional communication questionnaires of children's classroom performance and hearing quality of life. The children with AA recorded significantly reduced hearing quality of life. The two groups did not differ on any other measures. The present preliminary findings suggest that children with AA who receive early amplification have similar language, communication, reading, and classroom outcomes as their typically hearing peers. Despite these promising outcomes, however, the children's quality of life is significantly reduced. Further research is needed to further elucidate these findings. (As Provided). |
