Abstract

Approximately 40% of children with deafness have an additional developmental disorder or major medical problem, which may delay the age of diagnosis of hearing loss and/or require intervention by other professionals. This situation is referred to as “deafness with added disability” (AD+). The reason why the population of hearing-impaired children is more likely to have associated added disabilities is that the risk factors for hearing impairment overlap with those for many other disabilities. These factors can influence various aspects of development, including language acquisition. It is important to check that appropriate care is received, the effectiveness of hearing aids or implants, as well speech therapy intervention strategies, and family adherence to sessions and appointments. The challenge posed by AD+ is early detection, to allow early and appropriate intervention, and the need for fluid transdisciplinary collaboration between all professionals involved, together with the involvement of the family.

Resumen

Aproximadamente el 40% de los niños con sordera tienen añadido un trastorno del desarrollo o un problema médico importante, que puede retrasar la edad de diagnóstico de la hipoacusia y/o precisar de la intervención de otros profesionales. Esta situación se designa como “hipoacusia o sordera con discapacidad añadida” (DA+). El motivo por el que la población de niños con problemas auditivos es más propensa a asociar discapacidades añadidas radica en que los factores de riesgo para la hipoacusia se superponen con los de muchas otras discapacidades. Estos factores pueden influir en diversos aspectos del desarrollo, incluida la adquisición del lenguaje. Es importante comprobar que se recibe la adecuada atención, la efectividad de audífonos o implantes, así como de las estrategias de intervención logopédica, y la adherencia de la familia a sesiones y citas. Los desafíos que plantea la DA+son su detección precoz, para permitir una temprana y adecuada intervención, y la necesidad de una colaboración transdisciplinar fluida entre todos los profesionales que han de intervenir, junto con la implicación de la familia.
