Hearing loss Is the second most prevalent cause of living with a disability after depression [Mathers et al (2003) and Weinstein (2011)] Is recognized by the World Health Organization as being in the top 3 of their Global Burden of Disease along with depression and arthritis (http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets) Can accelerate some disabilities such as cognitive dysfunction and depression Can be mistaken for cognitive concerns Impact
Slide 5-

1 in 5 Canadians aged 20 to 79 (an estimated 4.6 million adults) have hearing loss. Aging is the leading cause of hearing loss (Cruickshanks et al. 2003), with measured hearing loss rising sharply after age 40, to reach 44% at ages 60-69, 65% at ages 70 to 79 and 90% over the age of 80 (Cruickshanks et al. 1998) . The population aged 65 + is projected to double from 5 million in 2011 to 10.4 million by 2036. http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/82-003-x/2015007/article/14206-eng.htm Statistics
Slide 6-

Hearing loss can lead to: An increased risk of poverty (Jung et al. 2012) Social isolation (Arlinger, 2003) Increased need for support services and hospital care (Schneider, 2010) Depression, withdrawal, stress, anger and fatigue causing damage to families and relationships (Chia, 2007); (Sindhusake, 2001) Impact
Slide 7-

In summary, the impact of hearing loss includes: Restricted quality of life Increased cost to healthcare systems Increased dependence on social services Lost contributions to the economy and to communities Hearing loss can be managed to reduce the impact Impact

An audiologist is an independent, professional provider of primary hearing health care, who specializes in the conservation of hearing and in the identification, assessment, management, and treatment of hearing and balance disorders. https://canadianaudiology.ca/professional-resources/scope-of-practice/ What is an Audiologist?
Slide 10-

Audiologists hold a master’s or doctoral degree in audiology from an accredited university, and are, in most provinces, licensed or otherwise governed by a regulatory body. Audiologists serve in a number of roles including clinician, diagnostician, therapist, educator, consultant, researcher, and administrator. https://canadianaudiology.ca/professional-resources/scope-of-practice/ What is an Audiologist?

Common ear-related complaints Hearing Loss and Children What is an Audiological Assessment? Deciphering an Audiogram Types of Hearing Loss Amplification (Re)Habilitation Audiology 101: Outline
Slide 14-

Trouble hearing in noise “Sounds are muffled” “Everyone mumbles” Difficulty hearing on the phone… Ringing, whooshing or buzzing sound Balance concerns Pain in the ear (Otitis media) Itchy ear canals (External otitis, fungal growth) Common Ear Related Complaints
Slide 15-

Audiological Assessment
Slide 16-

Deciphering an Audiogram
Slide 17-

Hearing loss is described in degree, shape and nature, not in percentages… Degree of Hearing Loss
Slide 18-

Conductive Hearing Loss: caused by an abnormality of the conductive system. Pathology of the EXTERNAL EAR External ear canal deformity (atresia) Blockage from cerumen or foreign object Perforated tympanic membrane Pathology in the MIDDLE EAR Serous and Purulent Otitis media Otosclerosis Cholesteatoma Treatment may include ongoing monitoring, amplification with hearing aids or Bone Anchored/Conduction Hearing Devices Types of Hearing Loss
Slide 19-

Sensorineural Hearing Loss: caused by hair cell damage or abnormality within the cochlea (inner ear). Noise exposure Ototoxic medication Meniere’s disease Infections Idiopathic Congenital Aging (presbycusis) Types of Hearing Loss
Slide 20-

Mixed Hearing Loss: Hearing loss due to both conductive and sensorineural factors Types of Hearing Loss
Slide 21-

Retro-cochlear Pathology: Hearing loss due to a misconnection between the inner ear and auditory centre of the brain. Disorders include: Auditory Neuropathy Central Auditory Processing Disorder Acoustic Neuroma Types of Hearing Loss
Slide 22-

Common coping strategies used by individuals with untreated hearing impairment include: Substitution: “mall or Paul?” Smile and nod… Talking and not listening “What? Huh?” Withdrawal: social and environmental Speaking loudly What Does Untreated Hearing Loss Look Like? Such coping strategies often lead to miscommunication, indifference, exhaustion, social isolation and frustration. They can also easily be mistaken for cognitive impairment.
Slide 23-

Effects of Untreated Hearing Loss on a Child's Development: Development delays in both receptive and expressive communication skills (speech and language). These skills are critical for meeting developmental milestones and allowing children to interact with those around them. Learning challenges that result in reduced academic achievement. Communication difficulties often lead to social isolation and poor self-concept. May have an impact on vocational choices. UNTREATED HEARING LOSS IN CHILDREN OFTEN PRESENTS AS MISIDENTIFIED BEHAVIOURAL CONCERNS. http://www.asha.org/public/hearing/Effects-of-Hearing-Loss-on-Development/ Hearing Loss in Children
Slide 24-

Some common issues youth with hearing loss face are: 1) Identity confusion. Youth with hearing loss may have a hard time understanding where they fit in with peers, especially if they are exposed only to hearing peers. They may ask themselves: “Am I Deaf? Hearing? Or in between…If so, what does that mean?”… or “Am I the only one?” 2) Academic challenges. Students with hearing loss may fall behind in school because they can miss information and disengage from class discussions. The hearing loss makes it difficult to take notes and listen at the same time, or catch every bit of cross talk, so students have to work extra hard to keep up. 3) Depression or low self- esteem. Again, this is a common experience for many teens, but some youth with hearing loss might feel frustrated by the sense of being ‘different.’ This can lead to social isolation, withdrawal and other symptoms of depression. http://www.hearingspeech.org/main/care-treatment/concerns/hearing-loss-effects-on-child-development/ Hearing Loss in Children

Digital hearing aids contain sophisticated sound processing software algorithms that tailor the response to the individual patient’s needs Bilateral amplification is recommended to help improve communication in noise and sound localization ability Consistent use is key, as is providing intervention sooner rather than later 90% of people with hearing loss can improve communication with properly fitted hearing aids and rehabilitative counselling [McArdle R et al. (2005), Boothroyd (2007), Hawkins (2005)] Assistive Listening Devices: Pocket Talkers, remote microphones, amplified telephones and FM systems Implantable devices: Cochlear Implants, Bone Anchored Hearing Devices and Middle Ear Drivers Amplification
Slide 26-

After recording significant improvements in the psychological state and mental functions of a population of hearing aid users age 65 +, Acar et al. (2011) concluded that using hearing aids are a good solution for the elderly. Hearing aids improve adults’ health-related quality of life by reducing the psychological, social, and emotional effects of hearing loss. (Chisolm, T et al. 2007) Benefits of Amplification
Slide 27-

Hearing is the most SOCIAL SENSE we have. Without it, we are isolated Frustration Withdrawal Isolation Depression Long term care Consequences of Hearing Loss
Slide 28-

30% to 40% of people with hearing loss are at greater risk of experiencing cognitive decline as compared to those who have normal hearing. (Lin et al. 2013) Why? A reduction in neural stimulation (neuron firing) Loss of environmental stimulation Poor social interactions, loneliness (isolation?) Exhaustion due to increased effort to hear It is important for hearing-impaired adults both with and without cognitive decline and or functional deficits to receive the appropriate audiologic treatment to improve their quality of life. Dementia and Hearing Loss
Slide 29-

Studies demonstrating links between hearing loss and depression found that: Individuals with hearing loss are more vulnerable to depression (Castiglione, 2016) Individuals with hearing loss often display maladaptive coping skills (Manrique-Huarte, 2016) Individuals with hearing loss can have symptoms of anxiety and depression (Hsu, 2016) Clinical Implications: An untreated hearing loss may be a contributing factor to a persons’ depression. Hearing Loss and Depression
Slide 30-

The use of hearing aids leads to significantly fewer depressive symptoms and significantly improved quality of life, general health, mental health, social engagement and emotional stability. Boi et al (2012) , Mulrow et al (1990) Hearing Loss and Depression It is important for hearing-impaired adults both with and without cognitive decline and or functional deficits to receive the appropriate audiologic treatment to improve their quality of life.
Slide 31-

Hearing loss has now been linked to a broad range of disease processes including: An association between high frequency hearing loss and increased risk of falls. Lin and Ferrucci (2012) An association with Type II diabetes: hearing impaired adults are more than twice as likely to have Type II diabetes compared to those who do not have hearing loss. Bainbridge et al (2008) A link with cardiovascular disease. Gates et al (1993) and Fisher et al (2014) Hearing Loss and Other Co-Morbid Conditions
Slide 32-

Clinical implications: In summary, hearing loss is often linked to other chronic medical conditions such as: Falls Type II Diabetes Cardiovascular disturbances Cognitive decline Depression Hearing loss can be a hidden disability! Regular hearing tests/rehabilitation should be done to promote long-term health and longevity. Hearing Loss and Other Co-Morbid Conditions
Slide 33-

Hearing loss interferes with a patient’s ability to be treated for other medical conditions as it can hinder their ability to engage with physicians and understand treatment advice and directives. Aspects of patient-physician communication affected by hearing loss include: Review of medication use, dosage, etc. Cognitive assessment (dementia or other cognitive deficits) Cognitive or depression screenings Communication of key components of a treatment plan or follow-up care Discussion of palliative care and end of life issues Patients With Hearing Loss
Slide 34-

As university trained professionals, audiologists have a broader range of testing, diagnostic and management skills than college educated hearing care providers. An audiologist can provide hearing health care to people of all ages, including children and infants. Audiologists have a strong partnership with ENT surgeons for care and adaptation after intervention is selected. Testing is non-invasive and only takes 30-45 minutes. Amplification and proper counselling/rehabilitation services have been proven to alleviate the negative effects of untreated hearing loss. Why Refer an Audiologist?
Slide 35-

Hearing impairment is a hidden disability not often perceived by patients or those within their support system. Hearing loss is often linked to other chronic medical conditions. Encourage your patients to have their hearing tested as part of their annual check-up, especially if they are over the age of 60. Summary
