Analysis of transient otoacoustic emissions and brainstem evoked auditory potentials in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia

Analysis of transient otoacoustic emissions and brainstem evoked auditory potentials in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia.

UNLABELLED Hyperbilirubinemia is toxic to the auditory pathways and to the central nervous system, leaving sequelae such as hearing loss and encephalopathy. AIM to assess the hearing of neonates with hyperbilirubinemia, using transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TOAEs) and brainstem evoked auditory potentials (BEAP). Prospective study. MATERIALS AND METHODS we had two groups: GI (n-25), ...

Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions and High Risk Register in Neonates

The development and application of otoacoustic emissions in clinical practice marked the beginning of a new era in the field of screening for congenital hearing loss. In particular, transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) have been widely adopted by many universal hearing screening (UNHS) programs. The test is quick, non-invasive, objective, sensitive, frequency specific, relatively che...

Contralateral Acoustic Effect of Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions in Neonates.

Contralateral acoustic stimulation (CAS) has the effect of reducing the amplitude of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) of the opposite cochlea. This phenomenon is considered to be mediated via the efferent pathway, from the superior olivary complex through the medial olivocochlear system to the contralateral cochlea. The assessment of this suppressive effect provides an objective a...

hearing status in neonatal hyperbilirubinemia by auditory brain stem evoked response and transient evoked otoacoustic emission

hyperbilirubinemia at neonatal period is one of the major deteriorating factors of the auditory system. if left untreated, it may cause certain cerebral damage. this study aims to evaluate the impact of hyperbilirubinemia on the hearing of neonate. this study was conducted on 35 newborn babies with jaundice (bilirubin more than 20 mg/dl). auditory brainstem response (abr) and transient evoked o...
