- Abstract
Hearing loss is a main cause of poor auditory, academic, and social performance especially in children. This study aimed to find out the relationship between minimal hearing loss (sensorineural or conductive) and the central auditory processing disorders in children. A cross-sectional study was conducted to compare the probability of having central auditory processing disorder in 159 children diagnosed with minimal sensorineural hearing loss and hearing loss caused by otitis media with effusion aged (6–7 years old) in 4 primary schools in Damascus Syria, and 155 children with normal hearing of the same age group using the children's auditory performance scale (C.H.A.P.S). A remarkable statistical difference was found between the two groups with higher scores of C.H.A.P.S scale in the minimal hearing loss group (P value = 0.000 < 0.05). The difference involved all the sub-scales of the C.H.A.P.S scale, which indicates that minimal hearing loss in children can be considered as one important predisposing factor for central auditory processing disorders.
