Full textTidigare forskning har visat att yrkesverksamma hörselskadade oftast har en mindre gynnsam position på arbetsmarknaden. Statistik visar att gruppen upplever en högre grad av trötthet och en lägre grad av arbetstillfredställelse. Avhandlingen har tre övergripande syften: 1) att utveckla ny teoretisk kunskap om hur hörselnedsättning samspelar med kognitiva förmågor, arbetsrelaterad ljudmiljö och typ av arbetsuppgifter, och 2) utveckla test- och utredningsmetoder ger möjlighet till analys och diagnos av upplevda problem samt 3) utveckla kunskap som ger möjlighet till åtgärd och anpassning av ljudmiljöer och arbetsuppgifter på arbetsplatser för hörselskadade. Projektets resultat visar på att yrkesverksamma med hörselnedsättning rapporterar en lägre fysisk hälsostatus och att en högre grad av upplevd ansträngning samt störning kan upplevas när de utför olika arbetsuppgifter i buller. Detta beror bland annat på att de kognitiva förmågorna blir mer belastade i en bullrig miljö och att hörselskadade är mer känsliga för höga bullernivåer. Djupintervjuer med gruppen visar även på att fysisk trötthet upplevs även efter jobbet som i sin tur kan leda till psykosociala konsekvenser för individen. Denna avhandling visar att de negativa effekterna av buller redan ses vid en lätt-måttlig hörselnedsättning hos en grupp som redan använder hörapparater. Från ett kliniskt perspektiv innebär det att dagens rehabiliteringsåtgärder bör vara mer omfattande än endast hörapparaturprovning för denna grupp. Tekniska hjälpmedel (FM-system, streamers, hörslinga, etc.) är viktiga för yrkesverksamma med hörselskada och information om konsekvenserna av att leva med en hörselnedsättning bör nås ut till arbetsgivare och kollegor för att underlätta kommunikation på jobbet.

Full textTiivistelmä Tämän työn tavoitteena oli tutkia lapsuusiän kuulovikojen esiintyvyyttä ja etiologiaa pohjoissuomalaisilla lapsilla sekä selvittää kuulovikaisilla lapsilla esiintyviä muita oireita. Tieto kuulovian etiologiasta ja mahdollisista muista oireista auttaa tutkimusten ja kuntoutuksen suunnittelussa. Tutkimukseen osallistuvat lapset olivat syntyneet Pohjois-Suomessa vuosina 1993–2002. Osatyössä I kerättiin sairauskertomustiedot niistä lapsista, joiden kuulovika oli todettu ennen kymmenen vuoden ikää. Osatöissä II ja III määritettiin mitokondrion DNA:n ja tuman WFS1-geenin muutoksia lapsilla, joiden kuulovian etiologia oli tuntematon. Osatyössä IV seurattiin lasten kuuloa suvussa, jossa on todettu mitokondrion DNA:n mutaatio m.1555A>G. Lapsuusiän kuulovikojen esiintyvyys oli 2,3 tuhatta vastasyntynyttä kohden. Kuulovian yleisin syy oli perinnöllinen (47 %). Hankinnaisia kuulovikoja oli 16 % ja etiologialtaan tuntemattomia 36 %. Lähes 40 %:lla 214 lapsesta oli kuulovian lisäksi yksi tai useampi muu oire, jonka arvioitiin vaikuttaneen haitallisesti lapsen kehitykseen tai oppimiseen. Muiden oireiden esiintyminen ei riippunut kuulovian vaikeusasteesta. Hankinnaiseksi luokiteltuihin kuulovikoihin liittyi enemmän muita oireita (66 %) kuin niihin kuulovikoihin, joiden syy oli perinnöllinen tai tuntematon (44 %). Pohjoissuomalaisilla lapsilla mitokondrion DNA:n ja WFS1-geenin muutokset olivat harvinaisia kuulovian syitä. WFS1-geenissä todettiin kolme aikaisemmin tunnettua harvinaista ja yksi uusi geenimuutos. Tämän p.Gly831Ser-mutaation arvioitiin olevan heterotsygoottisena kuulovikaa aiheuttava muutos. Yhdellä lapsella todettiin mitokondrion DNA:n patogeeninen mutaatio m.1555A>G. Lisäksi MT-RNR1- ja MT-RNR2-geeneissä todettiin 13 polymorfiaa, jotka kuuluvat normaaliin vaihteluun ja kahdeksan harvinaista muutosta, joista m.990T>C-muutos on todennäköisesti kuulovikaa aiheuttava. Seurantatutkimukseen osallistui 19 lasta, joilla oli m.1555A>G-mutaatio. Seuranta kesti 7,8 vuotta, ja sen aikana ilmaantui kuulovika 10 lapselle, joiden ikä tutkimuksen loppuessa oli 2,1–13,2 vuotta. Todetut kuuloviat olivat keskenään erilaisia. Vaihtelua selittäviä ympäristötekijöitä ei todettu. Lasten kuuloa on tärkeää seurata perheissä, joissa on m.1555A>G-mutaatio, koska lapset yleensä läpäisevät vastasyntyneen kuulonseulontatutkimuksen ja mahdollinen kuulovika kehittyy myöhemmin

Full textHearing impairment contributes significantly to the global burden of disabilities and has reported to be a prevalent disability in South Africa. The hearing impaired population has been associated with low levels of oral health due to numerous factors concomitant with reduced oral health care and knowledge. This predisposes these persons to oral disease including periodontal disease. Aim: To determine the prevalence of periodontal disease and the associated factors in adults with hearing impairment in designated facilities in the Western Cape, South Africa. Objectives: 1. To determine the oral health care practices in adults with hearing impairment. 2. To determine oral health knowledge of adults with hearing impairment. 3. To determine the frequency of dental visits of adults with hearing impairment and identify any associated barriers. 4. To determine the prevalence of periodontal disease in adults with hearing impairment in designated facilities in the Western Cape, South Africa. 5. To determine the relationship between the prevalence of periodontal disease and associated factors including; sociodemographic factors, oral health care practices, oral health knowledge and frequency of dental visits in adults with hearing impairment. Methodology: A quantitative, analytical cross-sectional study design was employed. A research questionnaire was used to evaluate oral health care practices, oral health knowledge, frequency of dental visits and related barriers to access oral health care. An intra-oral examination was conducted to determine the plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI) and clinical attachment loss (CAL) using the Ramjford six teeth. Data was analysed in Microsoft Excel and StataCorp using frequencies, means, standard deviations, confidence intervals, Chi-square and Fishers exact tests. Results: The prevalence of gingivitis was 100% and the prevalence of periodontitis was 26.09% amongst hearing impaired adults. The mean gingival index score (GI) was 1.24 (STD±0.49; 95% CI: 1.14-1.35) and the mean plaque index score (PI) was 1.3 (STD±0.5; 95% CI: 1.2-1.4). Periodontitis prevalence was established for those participants presenting with an average clinical attachment loss (CAL) of >3mm and the mean clinical attachment loss was 4.47mm (STD ±1.41; 95% CI: 4.18-4.76mm) for those presenting with evidence of periodontitis. Age was statistically significant (p<0.05). Prevalence of periodontitis was evident amongst participants over the age of 35 years with a mean age of 48years (STD±13). Oral health care showed a lack of the use of dental floss and regular dental visits. Access to dental care was compromised primarily due to communication barriers, dental fear and a low priority of oral health. Conclusion: The necessity of oral health care and oral health knowledge in hearing impaired adults such as education and motivation for the need of dental flossing, the use of fluoridated toothpastes and the benefits of regular dental visits, must be emphasized. Oral health care workers should strive to intensify efforts to facilitate a favourable periodontal health status amongst hearing impaired adults.

Full textThe aim of this study is to investigate the production and comprehension of subject (OS) and object (OO) restrictive relative clauses in various hearing and hearing-impaired populations (cochlear-implanted children, adolescent LIS signers, hearing children, hearing adolescents, and hearing adults). An agent selection task and an elicited production task were adopted to test the individuals’ competence. The analysis of the comprehension showed that a significant difference between hearing-impaired and hearing subjects was attested in the different combinations of number features. In any case, for all participants a typical gradient of difficulty was found. OSs are easier than OOs, and OOs are easier than object relatives with a postverbal subject (OOp). In the production task, the asymmetry between OSs and OOs was replicated. OSs were produced more easily than OOs. Different response strategies were adopted when an OOs was targeted; the pattern of response varied according to the linguistic maturation achieved. The performance of the participants was explained by attraction phenomena and recent linguistic proposals on locality and agreement.

Full textThe purpose of this research is twofold: firstly, it examines the extrinsic and intrinsic factors that contributed to the successful career of the profoundly hearing impaired internationally acclaimed solo percussionist Evelyn Glennie. Secondly, this investigation aims to create an awareness amongst South African music educators about the musical potential of the hearing impaired. The qualitative research design included (a) structured and unstructured interviews with Evelyn Glennie, Lucinda Rutter, an educator of the hearing impaired, Ronel Davids, a social worker for the hearing impaired and official sign language interpreter in Parliament, Arman Kleinschmidt, who is the director of DEAFSA (Deaf Federation of South Africa), (b) a study of audiovisual material of Evelyn Glennie (concerts, recordings and a documentary of Evelyn Glennie) and (c) a study of relevant literature. The investigation consists of three main parts. In the first part an in-depth theoretical study is conducted on hearing and listening, exploring aspects such as the hearing anatomical system and its functions, failings of the system as well as musical hearing and cognitive-based musical listening. The second part deals with the case study on Evelyn Glennie and includes a structured electronic interview. The third part involves an examination of the socio-cultural aspect of hearing impairment with reference to the Cape Town hearing impaired community. Interviews were conducted with social workers and ducators working with the hearing impaired community.
