Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Pediatric Otolaryngology
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Hyperacusis involves reduced tolerance to everyday sounds, significantly impacting children's daily lives.
  • Despite clinical recognition, specific assessment and treatment methods for pediatric hyperacusis are lacking.
  • A comprehensive review is needed to understand the clinical profile of children with hyperacusis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical profile of children diagnosed with hyperacusis.
  • To identify and analyze existing assessment and management methods for pediatric hyperacusis.
  • To establish a foundation for future research in pediatric hyperacusis assessment and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • A scoping review methodology was employed.
  • Extensive literature searches were conducted across multiple databases (Embase, PsychINFO, PubMed CENTRAL, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar).
  • Twenty-one research articles focusing on children with hyperacusis, their clinical profiles, and/or assessment/management strategies were included and data charted.

Main Results:

  • Children with hyperacusis present with specific age ranges, sound sensitivities, physical sensations, behavioral responses, coping mechanisms, comorbidities, and life impacts.
  • Assessment methods include interviews, questionnaires, neurological evaluations, observation, and loudness level testing.
  • Management approaches encompass psychological therapy, sound therapy, tinnitus retraining therapy, medication, and neuro-rehabilitation.

Conclusions:

  • The compiled information on clinical profiles, assessments, and management provides a basis for developing pediatric-specific hyperacusis measurement tools.
  • Future research should focus on creating validated questionnaires for measuring hyperacusis impact and treatment efficacy in children.
  • While various treatments show positive outcomes, further research is required to compare their effectiveness and define optimal parameters.
