Threshold Determination of Auditory Evoked Response in Young Children

Cortical auditory evoked potential testing in infants and young children

The implementation of universal newborn hearing screening programmes throughout the world has increased the need for reliable, objective techniques for fitting and evaluating hearing aids in young infants. For infants found to have a hearing loss as a result of newborn hearing screening intervention, including hearing aid fitting, is typically occurring by age 6-8 weeks. It is difficult to asse...

Effect of Umbilical Cord Ferritin Level on Auditory Brainstem Response Threshold in Newborns

Introduction: Iron plays an important role in myelination. Ferritin is a reliable indicator of the tissue iron store and umbilical cord ferritin level reflects the in utero iron stores. Objective is to study the effect of the umbilical cord ferritin level on the ABR recording in the newborn.   Materials and Methods: The study was conducted in a ...

The Reliability of Repeated Auditory Threshold Determination.

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...
