  • Objective: Both auditory and visual hypersensitivity are clinical features of mental fatigue after acquired brain damage or in neurological disorders. Both types of hypersensitivity are also associated with attention deficits, especially in neurodevelopmental syndromes. The aim of this study was to examine auditory and visual hypersensitivity, and associations to attention, in a group of children and adolescents treated for paediatric brain tumours (PBTs).Participants and Methods: Included in the study were 34 survivors of PBTs, 8–18 years of age (M: 13.6, SD: 3.0). Eighteen participants were female and 16 were male. Mean time since diagnosis was 4.2 years (SD: 2.2). Auditory and visual hypersensitivity were assessed using two items from the questionnaire Mental Fatigue Scale (MFS), scored on a 7-point Likert scale from 0 – 3. Scores above 1 indicate hypersensitivity. Attention was assessed using Conners Continuous Performance Test 3 (detectability, commissions, variability), and T-scores above 60 were considered impaired. Spearman correlations were conducted between the performance-based and self-report measures.Results: Results from the MFS revealed that 53% of the survivors experienced auditory and 18% visual hypersensitivity as a sequela. Regarding attention, elevated scores were more common for detectability (18%) and variability (21%) than commissions (8%). Visual hypersensitivity was not significantly associated with any of the attention measures, whereas auditory hypersensitivity was significantly associated with detectability (r=.42, p=0.013) and variability (r=.57, p<0.001).Conclusions: These results suggest that auditory hypersensitivity is common after treatment for PBT, and that it is associated with decreased attention. This relationship should be taken into consideration when assessing survivors of PBTs.
