Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia as a risk factor for hearing loss
نویسندگان
چکیده
Permanent hearing loss in childhood is an important public health problem. Its prevalence, when considering only bilateral profund congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), is 1 in 1000 living newborns and 5 in 1000 when all degrees of hearing loss are considered [1]. Hearing loss produces not only permanent effects on oral language development but may also have implications in emotional and social development [2].
