Certain risk factors result in a higher incidence of delayed-onset hearing loss. Ten subjects who passed auditory brainstem response birth screenings and later returned with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss are examined in this report. Although not all subjects in this report had respiratory distress, this study reveals a high correlation between mechanical ventilation and delayed-onset hea...

This case illustrates the occurrence of a sudden hearing sensitivity loss that, in all likelihood, was the result of brainstem disorder resulting from multiple sclerosis (MS) . Subject LD is a young woman who developed a sudden hearing loss while hospitalized for exacerbation of symptoms related to multiple sclerosis. By her own report, she had normal hearing in her left ear at the time of hosp...

Effective objective HF (high-frequency) testing methodology provides for the early detection of ototoxic hearing loss because it typically progresses from high to low frequencies. Such early detection is considered necessary to prevent hearing loss from progressing into the frequency range important for understanding speech. Objective tests must be reliable, sensitive to hearing change, and tim...

introduction: hearing loss is one of the most common problems in elderly people. functional side effects of hearing loss are various. due to the fact that hearing loss is the common impairment in elderly people; the importance of its possible effects on auditory memory is undeniable. this study aims to focus on the hearing loss effects on auditory memory.   materials and methods: dichotic audit...

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common inherited cause of mental retardation resulting in developmental delays in males. Atypical outer ear morphology is characteristic of FXS and may serve as a marker for abnormal auditory function. Despite this abnormality, studies of the hearing of young males with FXS are generally lacking. A few studies have suggested that a significant proportion of ...

OBJECTIVES We evaluated the central auditory pathways in workers with noise-induced tinnitus with normal hearing thresholds, compared the auditory brainstem response results in groups with and without tinnitus and correlated the tinnitus location to the auditory brainstem response findings in individuals with a history of occupational noise exposure. METHOD Sixty individuals participated in t...

The effects of aging on peripheral hearing function are well known, and age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) is common among those over 60. audiologist during a typical hearing evaluation considers whether test results conform to expectations for a presbycusis hearing loss, which is a gradually sloping hearing loss in the high frequencies. What we may fail to consider, however, are the effect...

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE Severe jaundice that requires exchange transfusion has become a relatively rare situation today. About 60% of full term neonates and 80% of premature ones will suffer from jaundice within the first week of life. Hyperbilirubinemia at birth is a risk factor associated with hearing loss that is usually further linked to other factors that might have an effect on hearing...

BACKGROUND auditory evoked potentials. AIM to describe the results of brainstem auditory evoked potentials (PEATE), middle latency auditory evoked potentials (PEAML) and cognitive potential (P300) in individuals over 50 years. METHOD this study was developed at the Speech and Hearing Investigation Laboratory in Auditory Evoked Potentials of the Speech-Language and Hearing Course of the Depa...
