Hearing Evaluation of Neonates with Hyperbilirubinemia by Otoacoustic Emissions and Brain Stem Evoked Response Audiometry

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...

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), ...

Brain stem evoked response audiometry A Review

Brain stem evoked response audiometry (BERA) is a useful objective assessement of hearing. Major advantage of this procedure is its ability to test even infants in whom conventional audiometry may not be useful. This investigation can be used as a screening test for deafness in high risk infants. Early diagnosis and rehabilitation will reduce disability in these children. This article attempts ...
