The Current Situation and Influencing Factors of Hearing Loss in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
To explore the current situation and influencing factors of hearing loss in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Methods
2
188 children with ASD who treated in our hospital from June 2022 to June 2024 were included in the study and divided into the hearing loss group and the non-hearing loss group according to the current status of hearing loss. The general data were collected and influencing factors of the current situation of hearing loss in children with ASD were analyzed.
Results
2
Among 188 children with ASD
54 were diagnosed with hearing loss (28.72%). There were 38 cases of mild hearing loss
accounting for 70.37%
and 16 cases of moderate hearing loss
accounting for 29.63%. There was no statistical significance in low birth weights neonatal asphyxia
history of hyperbilirubinemia
parents' history of hearing loss
and the educational levels of the main caregivers between the two groups (
P
>
0.05). The proportions of premature birth
family history of autism
and ear trauma or history of infection in the hearing loss group were significantly higher
while the monthly family income was significantly lower (
P
<
0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that preterm birth
family history of autism
ear trauma or history of infection
and low monthly family income were independent risk factors for hearing loss in children with ASD (
P
<
0.05).
Conclusions
2
Children with ASD have problems with hearing loss. Premature birth
family history of autism
ear trauma or history of infection
and low monthly family income may be the influencing factors for hearing loss in children with ASD. Clinically
attention should be paid to the identification of high-risk children with ASD for hearing loss and targeted intervention should be provided.
