    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Psychology
    • Audiology
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • Functional hearing loss (FHL) affects numerous children, often co-occurring with psychological factors.
    • Middle-ear problems are frequently reported in children experiencing FHL.
    • Personality dimensions may play a significant role in the presentation and management of FHL.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To conduct a psychological assessment of children diagnosed with functional hearing loss.
    • To identify key personality traits associated with FHL in a pediatric sample.
    • To explore the relationship between personality, hearing impairment, and history of ear issues.

    Main Methods:

    • Psychological assessments were performed on thirty children with confirmed functional hearing loss.
    • The Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory was administered to evaluate personality dimensions.
    • Demographic data, including gender and history of middle-ear problems, were collected.

    Main Results:

    • The study sample comprised twice as many girls as boys.
    • A majority of participants scored outside normal ranges on the Junior Eysenck Personality Inventory.
    • Introversion, either alone or in conjunction with neuroticism, emerged as the most significant personality dimension, especially prevalent in girls.

    Conclusions:

    • Introverted and neurotic personality traits are notably associated with functional hearing loss in children.
    • The findings suggest a complex interplay between personality, hearing impairment, and prior ear conditions.
    • Further research is warranted to understand the implications for therapeutic interventions in pediatric audiology and psychology.
