Study: Running once a week can lower risk of death By Najja Parker The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Is jogging a part of your workout regimen? It should be, according to a new report. Researchers from health institutions in Australia, Thailand and Finland recently conducted a study to explore the effects of running. To do so, they examined 14 previous assessments that involved 232,149 adults. They evaluated the participants’ physical activity and followed up on their health outcomes between five and 35 years later. After analyzing the results, they found those who ran any distance had a 27% 2020 Medical Directory •

lower risk of death from all causes, compared to those who didn’t run at all. They discovered running was also associated with a 30% reduced risk of death from cardiovascular disease and a 23% reduced risk of death from cancer. “Increased rates of participation in running, regardless of its dose, would probably lead to substantial improvements in population health and longevity,” the authors wrote. “Any amount of running, even just once a week, is better than no running, but higher doses of running may not necessarily be associated with greater mortality benefits.”
They noted clinicians and policymakers have previously been discouraged from promoting running, because too much exertion has been linked with sudden cardiac arrest. It’s also been linked with higher injury risk. That’s why they believe doctors should be cautious when recommending the exercise. “Running might not be a suitable activity for all clinical populations, and a clinician may need to make an informed decision about whether or not to prescribe it on a case-by-case basis.” The results were published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine journal.
Expert alert: Some common youth sports injuries are avoidable By Mayo Clinic News Network PHOENIX — As fall and winter sports are in full swing, youth athletics will see a rise in injuries. Tens of millions of children and teens participate in organized sports, and more than 3.5 million sports injuries occur every year. Fortunately, most injuries that occur with children are not serious and will not need surgery, according to several Mayo Clinic sports medicine experts. In fact, all of these injuries are avoidable. “Listen to your body,” says Anikar Chhabra, M.D., an orthopedic surgeon and the director of Sports Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Arizona. “If patients are hurting and they’re having injuries, you have to get early treatment to make sure that this doesn’t become a longstanding problem.” While the injuries typically vary from gender and age groups, he says the most common sports injuries are: Shoulder or knee dislocation: An injury to the joint, dislocation occurs when the ends of two bones — connected by the injured joint — are pushed from their positions. Dislocation is common in impact sports. Growth plate fractures: A more serious condition, prominent in gymnastics and contact sports, that affects the growing tissue layer near the end of a child’s bones. Little League Elbow or Shoulder: This injury, most common in pitchers, is a result of growth plate injuries. Muscle sprains: Commonly occurring in the ankle, a sprain is the stretching of a ligament that connects two bones together. In more acute cases, the ligament will tear and may require surgery. This condition is found in most sports.
Muscle strains: Strains, or pulled muscles, are a result of an overstretched or torn muscle or tendon, which connects the muscle and bone. Strains can occur during any sport, but its location varies. Osteochondritis dissecans: A condition of the joint when a lack of blood flow causes the bone underneath the joint’s cartilage to die. It is common in runners and jumping-involved sports. Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome): A common condition that causes pain to the shinbone, often due to a changed or intensified workout routine. Shin splints are common in runners and dancers. Patellar tendinitis (jumper’s knee): An injury to the ligament connecting the kneecap to the shinbone that allows for walking, running and jumping movements. It is caused by repeated trauma on the patellar tendon. It is most common in sports involving jumping, such as basketball and volleyball. To r n AC L : A n i n j u r y t h a t commonly occurs during soccer, basketball, dancing and more. A torn ACL is the result of sudden changes in direction or stops. ACL tears are more common in high school to college-aged teens and young adults. Sever’s disease in the foot (calcaneal apophysitis): This condition causes heel pain due to stress to the heel’s growth plates. It is common in runners. ON THE RISE Chhabra says that these youth sport injuries are on the rise. While some injuries are more serious, the increase is likely a result of kids playing only one sport yearround, instead of playing a different sport each season. The benefit of playing different sports is the child
will develop different muscles and train his or her brain to develop different motor skills. Due to the lack of breaks that youths take from their specialized sports, they are at greater risk of injuring themselves. Chhabra says most of his patients’ parents admit that their child only takes one or two days off from sports at a time, and he suggests taking two to four weeks off from sports after the season ends to rest. In addition to avoiding single sport specialization and equipping children with the correct gear, it is important to have proper sport technique and sports movement patterns to help prevent injury and to optimize rehabilitation from an injury, says Edward Laskowski, M.D., co-director of Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine in Minnesota. “It is not ‘practice that makes perfect’ but ‘perfect practice makes perfect,’” Laskowski says. “If we practice the same bad movement pattern over and over again, a suboptimal motor program is trained into our system and that can raise the risk of injury and decrease sports performance.” By analyzing movement, including the use of video, flaws that predispose someone to injury can be detected and corrected, Laskowski says. Once doctors have identified an athlete’s
risk factor, they can work with the athlete and implement corrective exercises to significantly reduce their risk of getting hurt. In addition, he says the entire sports motion must be evaluated to determine the areas that need improvement. Additionally, proper nutrition and hydration plays an important role in preventive care, says Andrew Jagim, M.D., director of Sports Medicine Research at Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse, Wisc. “If an athlete participates in multiple sports at high level without a proper nutrition plan, they may be at risk for slowly breaking their bodies down and leaving them chronically fatigued which can increase their risk of injury.” Ja g i m a l s o e x p l a i n s t h a t consuming adequate amounts of calories and essential nutrients such as protein, fats and carbohydrates ensures young athletes have the required building blocks to enhance recovery, support training and optimize performance.” If your child doesn’t get healthy now, he or she will never have that opportunity to play, let alone playing in high school but even in college,” Chhabra says. “Young athletes need to get healthy now because these injuries are going to become bigger problems down the road.”

Sleep deprivation linked to weaker bones By Stacey Burling The Philadelphia Inquirer Women who don’t get enough sleep may be putting their bones at risk, a new study found. The research showed that postmenopausal women who slept less than five hours a night were 22% more likely than those who slept at least seven hours to have low bone mass and 63% more likely to have osteoporosis of the hip. Results for the spine were similar. Bone mass is important because weaker bones are more likely to break. In the elderly, fractures can reduce quality and length of life. In the study, which was published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, researchers described the relationship between short sleep and bone health as “modest” and said it was equivalent to a year of aging. Still, sleep, unlike many treatments, comes with no harmful side effects. “It’s not a pill. No one has to pay for it,” said Heather Ochs-Balcom, a University at Buffalo epidemiologist who led the study. “It’s just a nice easy recommendation to improve health.” The study adds to mounting evidence that sleep has wide-ranging effects on our health. Short sleeping has been associated with cardiovascular, mood, metabolic and immune system problems. Previous work by this team found an association between sleeping too much or too little or having disturbed sleep and recurrent falls and fractures. This new study analyzed data on 11,084 postmenopausal women. It relied
on self reports of sleep. The researchers, who were from 12 institutions, including the University of Pittsburgh, controlled for weight, smoking, age, education and several other factors. Ten% of the women said they slept less than five hours a night. Ochs-Balcom said this study was not meant to examine why sleep affects bone health. Previous work has shown a connection between short sleep and hormonal and metabolic changes as well as inflammation. Earlier this fall, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine released a new survey that found that many Americans are letting entertainment get in the way of a good night’s sleep. Binge watching was the most common culprit, but video games, books and sports events were also common sleep robbers.

taKe aCtion now to Keep your brain Sharp By Cindy Krischer Goodman Sun Sentinel Do you forget what you walked into the bedroom to get? One of the most common fears people have as they grow older is losing their memory. Keeping your brain healthy and your memory sharp is about more than doing puzzles or remembering what you needed in a room. In South Florida, experts are using new approaches to fight off memory loss. Rather than Sudoku and crossword puzzles, their approaches to a mental workout or “brain fitness” involve everything from building physical muscle to meditation to following a recipe. And they recommend starting brain fitness well before the senior years. “It’s important to start practicing whole brain fitness now because the process of cognitive changes can start 20 years before symptoms present,” gerontologist Beverly Sanborn said. Sanborn says a full mental workout includes six categories of brain fitness: critical thinking, body movement, step-by-step sequencing, learning something new, devising analytics solutions, and doing regular long-term memory exercises. For example, with critical thinking, you debate a topic from the opposite viewpoint with which you agree. With body movement, you use your mind and body simultaneously to learn the movement. With learning, you look up a new vocabulary word and use it for a week, or substitute new words for cliches you use regularly. With sequencing, you follow a recipe or instructions for building that require steps and measuring. With long-term memory exercises, you take quizzes or tests that require you recall information you learned in the past. “You want to stimulate your brain in such a way that you challenge the brain to do more than it normally would,” said Sanborn, who is incorporating whole brain fitness activities into programming for Belmont village, a senior living community that will open in Fort Lauderdale in early 2020. You want to exercise regularly, too, she said. “Every year there is more and more research that shows exercise is essential to maintaining your mental fitness.” Only a small number of people — 5% — get Alzheimer’s disease before age 65. Still, with more than 5.8 million Americans of all ages living with Alzheimer’s disease, researchers hope to learn more about the onset, causes, and progression of the disease. “While people recognize there is not a cure, they have an interest in trying to delay symptoms,” Sanborn said. In Boca Raton, Dr. James Galvin, founder of the Comprehensive Center for Brain Health at Florida Atlantic university, conducts personalized assessments of brain health using 4,000 data points. He looks for risks for memory loss and crafts a plan for the prevention of additional loss. The plan might include actions such as getting started on a brain-healthy diet, giving up smoking or drinking, adding more social activities, or taking on aerobic exercise.
3 StRategieS to booSt youR bRainpoweR ◆ Do a brain workout. Enhance reasoning, problem-solving and memory abilities by learning a new language, or adding to your vocabulary. Rather than doing crosswords over and over, the key is to do an activity considered a mental stretch. ◆ Exercise regularly. New research presented for the American Psychological Association found a correlation between physical activity and fewer signs of Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Walking, weightlifting, yoga, tai chi or aerobics may delay or slow memory loss. ◆ Manage health risks. Lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels dramatically reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke, which are risk factors for memory loss. Galvin has discovered there is a window in which brain fitness and interventions work best. “Once you cross that line, we will not be making as big an impact as we could,” he said. “If you don’t feel as sharp as before, have an evaluation and see if there is something we can do about it.” In Miami, Dr. Marc Agronin operates mind fitness workshops at the new MIND Institute at Miami Jewish Health. At weekly workshops in the MIND gym, people work with a coach to challenge their brains through activities that include computer games, musical activities like “name that tune,” origami making and language translation. “What we are doing is challenging them, and people have different levels of capacity for that,” Agronin said about the Meaningful Minds Brain Fitness Program. At this time, there is virtually no conclusive evidence that vitamin supplements touted as memory boosters can prevent or delay memory lapses. The same is true of medications. So far, the medications for memory loss only delay the worsening of the disease for a period of time. Trials for a variety of new drugs are underway. “Sometimes people think because there is no cure for memory, there is nothing you can do,” Agronin said. “That’s absolutely untrue. There are so many things you can do.”

IS MAN’S BEST FRIEND THE KEY TO BATTLING CANCER? By Mitchel Bobo The Sacramento Bee A new joint study by uC Davis, the university of Wisconsin and Colorado State university is looking for healthy canines to participate in a study that may benefit man and man’s best friend alike. According to Dr. Jenna Burton, Associate Professor of Clinical Oncology at uC Davis, the vaccination Against Canine Cancer Study (vACCS) began in May and currently has 30 dogs enrolled at the Davis site, with 190 total across the three universities. Burton says that Davis is hoping for 275 pets to participate in the five-year study, which is being supported by the Open Philanthropy Project from Dr. Stefan Johnson of Arizona State university. “This is a study that is being conducted for a 2020 Medical Directory •

cancer preventive vaccine that has never been done before. We’re not just focusing on one type of cancer, but to see if the immune system can be geared to prevent several types of cancer,” Burton said. The study would aim to aid the immune system in recognizing abnormal proteins earlier. According to Burton, there are a number of tumor types that develop in cats and dogs that are similar to those in humans. She says that the study is a two-way street, which could benefit canines and humans alike. Burton says that some studies estimate that as high as 50% of dogs over the age of 10 are diagnosed with cancer. “Just like humans, dogs are living longer and are developing cancer in greater numbers. Immunotherapy is an exploding field, and dogs can be very helpful in that regard,” Burton said. “We can learn a lot from the amazing work being
done and veterinary oncology can help a lot with that. Pets live in the same environment as us. They drink the same water and breathe the same air.” Dogs involved in the study must meet a list of criteria and would undergo a number of screenings and examinations. Participating canines must be between 6 and 10 years old, of mixed breed, live within 150 miles of uC Davis, have had a veterinary visit within the past 12 months and have three years of previous medical history available, amongst other criteria. According to Burton, a number of participants will be chosen at random to receive placebo vaccines. A financial incentive is offered to cover veterinary visits for dogs participating in the study. To find out if your dog is eligible, visit the uC Davis veterinary Center for Clinical Trials website.
Mayo Clinic Q&A: Scoliosis most often develops during growth spurt just before puberty By Mayo Clinic News Network Dear Mayo Clinic: What causes scoliosis? Do genetics play a role? I was diagnosed with it as a teenager, and several of my cousins had it, too. Now I’m worried that my daughter, who’s 8, may be affected when she gets older. Should she be checked for scoliosis soon? A: The exact cause of scoliosis isn’t known. But it tends to run in families, which indicates that there is a genetic element to this spine disorder. Scoliosis also can be the result of birth defects and a component of some neuromuscular disorders. Watch your daughter for signs of scoliosis and have her evaluated as soon as possible if you suspect that she may be developing a spinal curve. Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curve of the spine with rotation. Most people have a spine that is relatively straight. In general, a spine with a 10-degree sideways curve or less is considered normal. A curve greater than 10 degrees is defined as scoliosis. Scoliosis most often develops during the growth spurt just before puberty. It affects about 3% of adolescents. Girls and boys develop mild scoliosis at about the same rate. But in girls, it’s seven times more likely that the curve will worsen over time and require treatment. Although researchers haven’t pinpointed a specific cause of scoliosis, considerable work is being done to investigate the genetics of scoliosis. Researchers know that there isn’t one gene alone that triggers scoliosis. Instead, it’s likely a complex set of genes — and possibly different types of those complex
genes within different ethnic groups — that may influence the development of scoliosis. There’s little doubt, however, that some genetic component exists for scoliosis because, as your experience illustrates, it’s clear that the disorder runs in families. When a child is diagnosed, even if neither parent had scoliosis, it’s often the case that when medical information from the extended family is examined, a history of scoliosis is found. Beyond genetics, the disorder can be the result of a birth defect that affects the spinal cord or the bones of the spine. For example, some babies are born with spinal vertebra shaped like triangles rather than squares, so the spine cannot align properly. People who have neuromuscular disorders, such as
muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy, may develop scoliosis as a result of that underlying disorder. These situations are rare, though, and account for only about 1% to 2% of scoliosis cases. In most cases, a cause for scoliosis cannot be definitively identified. Because of your family history, it would be a good idea to start checking your daughter for early signs of scoliosis. It can be difficult to see a curve in the spine simply by looking at a child’s back. Instead, look for any unevenness in your daughter’s shoulders or hips when she’s standing up straight. Another way to check for scoliosis is to look at your daughter’s back while she is bending at the waist. If one side of her ribs appears to be higher than the other, that could be
a sign of scoliosis. If one shoulder blade consistently appears more prominent than the other, that could indicate the presence of a spinal curve, too. Although treatment for scoliosis cannot reverse the spinal curve, the earlier scoliosis is identified and treatment is started, the more likely it is that progression of the curve can be stopped. Treatment options depend largely on the curve’s severity, ranging from regular monitoring for mild curves to surgical treatment for severe spinal curves. If you are concerned that your daughter may be developing scoliosis, make an appointment for her to see her primary care provider promptly for an evaluation.

Using lifestyle medicine to address various chronic illnesses By Austen Erblat Sun Sentinel
As more options become available to pursue a healthy lifestyle, from dietary choices to exercise plans to preventative medicine and other advances, one organization — and one South Florida doctor in particular — is leading a movement toward “lifestyle medicine.” The American College of Lifestyle Medicine hosted its annual conference in Orlando recently where health care professionals from around the world convened to discuss recent advances in lifestyle medicine and how to most effectively treat common diagnoses. The ACLM is a working group of physicians, nurses, dietitians and other health care professionals. And interest appears to be growing. 2020 Medical Directory •
10
“It’s been quite remarkable that in the last five years, ACLM membership has grown more than 500 percent,” said Susan Benigas, the organization’s executive director. “In the face of epidemic levels of physician and clinician burnout, it’s really lifestyle medicine that reignites the passion for why so many went into medicine to begin with, and that’s to become true healers.” Benigas says that lifestyle medicine takes an approach that aims to prevent disease or at least treat and reverse disease, instead of simply managing the symptoms or reducing pain. “There’s so much emphasis in our health care system today on disease management — on diagnosing symptoms and treating those symptoms, really managing those diseases, with ever-increasing quantities of pills and
procedures,” Benigas said. “What’s so unique about evidence-based lifestyle medicine is that the focus is on treating the root cause of disease to identify and eradicate the root cause of disease so the focus is not solely on disease management, but on health restoration.” In addition to the lifestyle changes themselves for patients, the ACLM is trying to transform the way health care providers meet and treat patients, including group appointments and remote appointments when the patients’ circumstances allow for it through things like Skype or other video and digital apps. “When it’s just one treatment room with one physician and one patient and you have such a limited amount of time — 10, 15 minutes — only enough, as one of our founding members, Dr.
they understand that most chronic disease is reversible. They have the power. And that’s a hard one to get through.” Discepola talks a lot about the root of many diseases, which she says largely stem from diets that contribute to things like heart disease, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. “ We a re l o o k i n g f o r c o re dysfunction as to ‘why does this person have three significant diagnoses and on five different medications for something that is potentially reversible?’” she said. “I moved from a brick and mortar, moved (from New York) down here to Florida, became medical director of a facility, where folks come from all over the world to learn how to adopt a vegan diet or close to a vegan diet and it was a 21-day program and that intrigued me.” Benigas said the organization’s growing numbers are a good sign, but they still want to expand their presence in medical and lifestyle circles. “We really want to be a resource to help fill the gaping void that exists in regard to medical education in this country as far as lifestyle medicine is concerned and to really help to equip and empower medical professionals to integrate lifestyle medicine into their own lives and clinical practices,” she said. Discepola wants the ACLM to get lifestyle medicine into academia and neighborhoods and communities. “Ju s t l i k e w e h a v e g o l f communities, people buy into these communities, imagine that, where wellness is the theme,” she said.

Hans Diehl would always say, ‘That’s only enough time to diagnosis the ill, prescribe the pill and send the patient home with the bill,’ and that is not the way we want our healthcare system to be run,” Benigas said. “S o i n a s h a re d m e d i c a l appointment environment, it will be a group of patients that may all have Type-2 diabetes or that may all be dealing with heart disease or it may just be a group all dealing with various chronic conditions, because from a lifestyle medicine standpoint, the prescription for one chronic condition is the prescription for all, and then that group will meet for successive number of weeks, maybe two hours in the evening or on the weekends over a period of eight weeks, 10 weeks, 12 weeks with a curriculum and it really does help when so much of this is based on needing to educate patients about their lifestyle behavior choices.” Dr. Tina Discepola is a physician based in Palm Beach County and a member of ACLM who talks to patients over a video conference app that allows her to talk to and see patients from around the world. Discepola says her appointments last an average of 60 to 90 minutes. “It’s still very difficult, when you have a sick patient come in, no matter how much time they spend with you in the office, we almost wish you could go home with them to get them to fully understand what they need to do and you can’t do that from an office setting,” she said. “This is a non-judgment zone to let (patients) know they have a team behind them is really No. 1. And then No. 2, I think it’s really about educating the patient, so that

Inside the new colorectal cancer screening guidelines for averagerisk patients By Mayo Clinic News Network T h e A m e r i c a n Co l l e g e o f Physicians has produced a guidance statement for colorectal cancer screening for patients who are at an average risk. This statement is based on a critical review of existing national guidelines. “Patients who are age 50 to 75 who are asymptomatic, and don’t have prior precancerous polyps or a family history of colorectal cancer, are considered average risk,” says Dr. Frank Sinicrope, a Mayo Clinic gastroenterologist and medical oncologist. While various groups have offered colorectal screening guidelines, the
American College of Physician’s guidance statement is meant to provide health care providers with recommendations based on available data on when and how to appropriately screen average risk adult for colorectal cancer. “While several screening options are available, it is recommended that doctors discuss options with their patients and consider a variety of factors, such as benefits, risks, frequency, cost and patient preferences. All of these factors are important in making a recommendation to the patient for screening,” says Sinicrope. “The American Cancer Society moved the age to begin screening

down to 45 years. However, their guideline is the only one that has made that recommendation thus far,” says Sinicrope. “There’s not enough data to recommend that screening begin earlier than age 50 at this time. We know that colorectal cancer is a disease of aging and that the number of new cases increases as we get older.” Colorectal cancer is the secondleading cause of cancer-related death among people in the U.S. It can affect anyone at any age. However, it typically affects older adults. Recommended colorectal cancer screening tests include stool-based studies and direct visualization tests, such as flexible sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy. These are the suggested screening tests and intervals: n Fecal immunochemical test or high-sensitivity, guaiac-based fecal occult blood test. This test is recommended every two years. n Colonoscopy This test is recommended every 10 years. Flexible sigmoidoscopy This test is recommended every 10 years, along with a fecal immunochemical test every two years. Sinicrope says it is important to
note that any abnormal stool-based screening test will require that a colonoscopy be performed. When selecting a screening test, considerations include benefits and potential risks. For example, colonoscopy risks include bleeding or perforation. These risks are relatively uncommon, but are increased in patients who are elderly and in those with certain underlying diseases. The screening guidelines are for average-risk patients and do not apply to those at increased risk, such as those with a history of precancerous polyps of the colon or family history of colorectal cancer, or those who have inflammatory bowel disease. Sinicrope says it’s important that everyone have some form of colorectal cancer screening, beginning at the age of 50 because screening saves lives. “There is a menu of tests available, and people should discuss with their doctor what test may be best for them.” “We generally say that the best screening test is the one that the patient will undergo and comply with. We want everybody screened.”
For newborns with hearing loss, screening opens window to a world of sound By Rachel Bluth Kaiser Health News Four-year-old Betty Schottler starts each morning with the same six sounds: (m), (ah), (oo), (ee), (sh), and (s). Her mom makes the sounds first, then Betty repeats them to check that her cochlear implant is working. Betty was born profoundly deaf and got her first set of glittery rainbow hearing aids at 6 weeks old. Then, before her 1st birthday, she had surgery to place a cochlear implant in the bone behind her ear. The device sends signals to the brain, and the brain recognizes those signals as sound. For Betty and thousands of children born in the U.S. with a hearing impairment, newborn screening is the first step toward introducing them to the world of sound. Most babies in the U.S. get screened in the first few days after birth; in 2016, up to 98% of newborns were tested, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Typically, a hearing screener comes to the mother’s bedside and tests the baby in the bassinet. It works best when the child and the environment are quiet. “A lot of times we swaddle the baby so that the baby is comfortable and can sleep, put the probe in the ear and that test doesn’t take more than five to seven minutes per ear,” said Irene Sideris, a pediatric audiologist with Children’s National Hospital, which is based in Washington, D.C. The tiny probe looks like an earbud or infant thermometer. It emits a low clicking noise, which stimulates tiny hairs in the baby’s inner ear and makes them vibrate. The test measures the echoes from those
vibrations, or otoacoustic emissions. Most babies pass, and that’s the end of their testing. Others newborns get “referred,” meaning the doctor recommends they be screened again as soon as possible, usually within days or weeks. Newborn Betty Schottler didn’t pass. “They told us that she ‘referred.’ They say referred instead of fail,” said her mom, Jen Schottler. Sideris said a baby might not pass the initial hearing screening for many reasons, including residual fluid or debris in the ears. The CDC estimates 1.7% of babies were referred for additional screening in 2016. Hearing loss is the most common congenital condition in the U.S. Three in 1,000 infants are born with it, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. When the hearing screener came to test Betty, Jen Schottler said the whole thing happened quickly. “Newborns get screenings for a million things, and it’s one of them,” Schottler said. “I just remember receiving the piece of paper with the results and the list of audiologists to reach out to.” Follow-up tests showed that Betty has profound hearing loss and was, therefore, a candidate for the cochlear implant. Trained as a speech pathologist, Schottler knew that if she wanted Betty to start hearing and learning spoken language, the clock was ticking. Other parents choose to have their child learn sign language or other ways of communicating. “Every family’s different,” Schottler said. In 2000, the federal government set a goal to have all children screened in the first month of life and to have
kids with hearing loss identified and diagnosed by their third month. The government’s goal is to get kids enrolled in early intervention programs by the time they’re 6 months old. Before screenings were so universal, Sideris said, parents often did not realize their child had problems hearing until age 2 or 3. “At that point, the child has already lost two years of speech-language learning time,” Sideris said. Those years are critical, she said, because a child’s brain still has plasticity. If the neurons usually used for hearing and processing spoken language aren’t activated within this window, they’ll be used for something else. For parents who want their kids exposed to sound, experts say early intervention is urgent. “That doesn’t mean that if you are 4, 5 or 10 and you have a hearing loss that you would not benefit from hearing aids,” Sideris said. “But the earlier that you are identified, the easier it is.” The Schottlers, who live in Arlington, Va., connected with a local parent-infant education program and borrowed loaner hearing aids for baby Betty before she got her cochlear implants. Other children may use hearing aids for their entire lives and need those devices replaced as they grow.
Twenty-three states require that health insurance companies cover hearing aids for children. To hear about one Texas mom’s fight to win that coverage, check out Season 3, Episode 1 of “An Arm and a Leg,” a podcast that is co-produced by Kaiser Health News. Early intervention was a family affair for the Schottlers. Speech therapists came to the Schottlers’ home to teach the family how to help Betty start acquiring spokenlanguage skills. In the beginning, Jen and her husband, Brian, did all sorts of things to draw Betty’s attention to sounds when she was in the bath, playing on the floor or eating in her high chair. They’d look for subtle signs — like a blink or a raised eyebrow — that she had registered the noise. In the early days, it took Betty’s big sister, Ellie, banging on a toy drum to capture the newborn’s attention. “Oh, you heard that?” They’d ask her. “I heard that too. I wonder what it was?” Later, she would react even when a drop of water sizzled softly on the coffee maker’s hot plate. Today, Betty loves to color — especially with purple crayons. She’s already reading some of Ellie’s books from kindergarten and is often a leader when playing with friends. She’s a preschooler with plenty to say.
