| Summary, etc | Objectives/Hypothesis: To evaluate the association between hearing loss and nonverbal intelligence in US children.<br/>Study Design: The Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES III) is a cross-sectional survey<br/>(1988–1994) that used complex multistage sampling design to produce nationally representative demographic and examination<br/>data.<br/>Methods: A total of 4,823 children ages 6 to 16 years completed audiometric evaluation and cognitive testing during<br/>NHANES III. Hearing loss was defined as low-frequency pure-tone average (PTA) >25 dB (0.5, 1, 2 kHz) or high-frequency<br/>PTA >25 dB (3, 4, 6, 8 kHz) and was designated as unilateral or bilateral. Nonverbal intelligence was measured using the<br/>Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised block design subtest. Low nonverbal intelligence was defined as a standardized<br/>score <4, two standard deviations below the standardized mean of 10.<br/>Results: Mean nonverbal intelligence scores differed between children with normal hearing (9.59) and children with<br/>bilateral (6.87; P5.02) but not unilateral (9.12; P5.42) hearing loss. Non-Hispanic black race/ethnicity and family income<br/><$20,000 were associated with 3.92 and 1.67 times higher odds of low nonverbal intelligence, respectively (odds ratio [OR]:<br/>3.92; P<.001; OR: 1.67; P5.02). Bilateral hearing loss was independently associated with 5.77 times increased odds of low<br/>nonverbal intelligence compared to normal hearing children (OR: 5.77; P5.02). Unilateral hearing loss was not associated<br/>with higher odds of low nonverbal intelligence (OR: 0.73; P5.40).<br/>Conclusions: Bilateral but not unilateral hearing loss is associated with decreased nonverbal intelligence in US children.<br/>Longitudinal studies are urgently needed to better understand these associations and their potential impact on future<br/>opportunities. |
