AB  - AIM: To determine if the benefit of early confirmation of permanent childhood 
      hearing impairment (PCHI) on children's receptive language development is 
      associated with fewer behavioural problems. METHOD: Follow-up of a total 
      population cohort of 120 children with PCHI of moderate or greater severity (>/= 40 
      decibels relative to hearing threshold level) (67 males, 53 females; mean age 7 y 
      11 mo, range 5 y 5 mo-11 y 8 mo) and 63 hearing children (37 males, 26 females; 
      mean age 8 y 1 mo, range 6 y 4 mo-9 y 10 mo). The main outcome measures were the 
      Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) completed by teachers and parents 
      and the Vineland Adaptive Behaviour Scales (VABS) which are completed on the 
      basis of a parental interview. RESULTS: Children with PCHI had lower standard 
      scores than hearing children on the Daily Living Skills (p=0.001) and the 
      Socialisation (p=0.001) scales of the VABS. They had significantly higher Total 
      Behaviour Problem scores on the parent-rated (p=0.002) and teacher-rated SDQ 
      (p=0.03). Children for whom PCHI was confirmed by 9 months did not have 
      significantly fewer problems on the behavioural measures than those confirmed 
      after that age (p=0.635 and p=0.196). INTERPRETATION: Early confirmation has a 
      beneficial effect on receptive language development but no significant impact in 
      reducing behavioural problems in children with PCHI.
