Of children with DS, 22%\u201330% experienced a transient hearing loss, with a high incidence of middle ear pathologies from infancy until early adulthood. There were no statistical differences between ethnicity and permanent\/transient hearing loss diagnosis. Twenty-three percent were current hearing aid users or had them recommended in a treatment plan.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The prevalence of hearing loss and abnormal middle ear status is high in the pediatric population with DS. Audiologic evaluations should follow the American Academy of Pediatrics practice guidelines to monitor this high-risk population, and amplification should be considered as an appropriate intervention option if repeated audiologic examinations reveal hearing loss.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1044\/2017_aja-17-0010","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,8,30]],"date-time":"2017-08-30T16:30:52Z","timestamp":1504110652000},"page":"301-308","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Understanding Hearing and Hearing Loss in Children With Down Syndrome"],"prefix":"10.1044","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"Emily","family":"Nightengale","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Children's Hospital Colorado and University of Colorado, Aurora"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Patricia","family":"Yoon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Children's Hospital Colorado and University of Colorado, Aurora"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristy","family":"Wolter-Warmerdam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Children's Hospital Colorado and University of Colorado, Aurora"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dee","family":"Daniels","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Children's Hospital Colorado and University of Colorado, Aurora"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fran","family":"Hickey","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Children's Hospital Colorado and University of Colorado, Aurora"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1310","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ridd.2013.04.006"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10995-012-0988-9"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/019459987908700317"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1258\/smj.2011.011036"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.mlg.0000245034.77640.4f"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_1","volume-title":"Pediatrics","author":"Bull M.","year":"2011"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2004-1353"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_1","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center on Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities Division of Birth Defects and Developmental Disabilities.
