Objectives: Cognitive emotion regulation plays an important role in the emotional intelligence of students with hearing impairment. The present study was conducted to determine the effect of cognitive emotion regulation on emotional intelligence in students with hearing impairment.  Methods: The present study was a quasi-experimental research with pre-test-post-test and control group design. T...

What would define real progress in the field of deafness research in fundamental and medical terms? In fundamental terms, progress would be measured by an improvement in our knowledge of the development and physiology of the ear. In medical terms, progress would lead to the division of the broad category of hearing defects into distinct clinical entities or subclasses, the collection of epidemi...

Usher syndrome is the most prevalent cause of hereditary deaf-blindness, characterized by congenital sensorineural hearing impairment and progressive photoreceptor degeneration beginning in childhood or adolescence. Diagnosis and management of this disease are complex, and the molecular changes underlying sensory cell impairment remain poorly understood. Here we characterize two zebrafish model...

this study aimed to investigate the contribution of four common dfnb (“dfn” for deafness and “b” for autosomal resessive locus) loci and gjb2 gene mutations (exon 2) in hearing impairment in individuals living in markazi and qom provinces of iran. forty consanguineous iranian families with at least three affected individuals in family or pedigree who suffer from an autosomal recessive non-syndr...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of life skills training on decreasing social phobia (SP) disorder in students with hearing impairment. Methods: The sample included 30 male students, age range from 8 to 18 years with hearing impairment recruited from exceptional schools. Their age and IQ were matched. They were randomly assigned into experimental and co...

Nonsyndromic Hereditary Hearing Loss is a common disorder accounting for at least 60% of prelingual deafness. GJB2 gene mutations, GJB6 deletion, and the A1555G mitochondrial mutation play a major role worldwide in causing deafness, but there is a high degree of genetic heterogeneity and many genes involved in deafness have not yet been identified. Therefore, there remains a need to search for ...

conclusions according to the results, hearing impairment in high frequency sounds was more common in the diabetics than the healthy individuals. also, the severity of hearing loss in patients with diabetes was associated with the levels of creatinine (diabetic nephropathy). the hypothesis of the relationship between diabetes and hearing loss through nephropathy should be more examined in future...

background and aim: hearing impaired students experience binaural hearing like normal peers and school age is challenging time for using dichotic listening. lack of research was found on relationship of persian hearing impair­ed children with central auditory processing (cap). one of the aims of this study was a comparison between persian dichotic digit test (ddt) score in children with mild an...

Aggregation of diabetes and hearing loss in a family is observed in some hereditary disease. All members of the present family are affected with sensory hearing loss and diabetes mellitus. Diabetes types observed were insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) in the proposita and the sister, non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in the brother, and impaired glucose tolerance in the m...
