Speech-evoked auditory brainstem response in children with unilateral hearing loss
نویسندگان
چکیده
Speech-evoked auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) and speech recognition measures were evaluated in children with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) and normal hearing (NH). There were significant differences between the two hearing groups for several components of the response in quiet and in noise. Children with UHL performed worse than children with NH on all speech recognition measures in quiet and in noise.

Abstract:Background : Hyperbilirubinemia is one of the most common cause of congenital sensory neuronal hearing loss. These patients are screened by auditory brainstem response (ABR) test at bilirubin levels higher than 1% of gestational weight. Aim: to determine whether hyperbilirubinemia less than 1% of gestational weight could induce hearing loss and abnormal auditory brainstem response (ABR...
