introduction: hearing impairment and hearing loss are kinds of latent handicap in children. any abnormality in hearing can affect different aspects of life. otoacoustic emissions have been accepted as an appropriate method for screening of hearing loss in neonates. in this study we assessed the hearing status of infants admitted in icu wards in yazd.materials and methods: this was a cross-secti...

introduction: neonatal hypernatremia dehydration (nhd) is a dangerous condition in neonates, which is accompanied by acute complications (renal failure, cerebral edema, and cerebral hemorrhage) and chronic complications (developmental delay). children begin learning language from birth, and hearing impairment interferes with this process. we assessed the hearing status of infants with hypernatr...

The sounds of silence have forever been broken as genetics and genomics approaches in human and model organisms have provided a powerful and rapid entry into gene discovery in the auditory system. An understanding of the complexities and beauty of the biological process of hearing itself is unfolding as genes underlying hereditary hearing impairment are identified. Genes involved in modifying h...

120 cases of Iranian soldiers complaining of hearing loss, were studied over a period of three years at the Ghaem Medical Center in Mashad,Iran. There was adequate information in III cases that their engagement in different types of explosions had caused their hearing impairment. The following aspects were evaluated: 1- Categorization of their hearing impairment. 2- The otoscopic findings...

objectives: auditory perception or hearing ability is critical for children in acquisition of language and speech hence hearing loss has different effects on individuals’ linguistic perception, and also on their functions. it seems that deaf people suffer from language and speech impairments such as in perception of complex linguistic constructions. this research was aimed to study the percepti...

GJB2 accounts for more than 80% of recessive forms of hereditary hearing loss (HL); however, the correlation between the p.V37I variant of GJB2 and hearing phenotype is controversial. This study aimed to investigate the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of the p.V37I variant in sensorineural hearing loss in Chinese infants (0-3 months). Hearing and gene tests were conducted in 300 in...

Introduction: Neonatal hypernatremia dehydration (NHD) is a dangerous condition in neonates, which is accompanied by acute complications (renal failure, cerebral edema, and cerebral hemorrhage) and chronic complications (developmental delay). Children begin learning language from birth, and hearing impairment interferes with this process. We assessed the hearing status of infants with hypernatr...

background and aim: social networking sites (snss), known in terms of cyberspace, are a very popular and accepted aspect of technology. internet is more useful for hearing-impaired children and adolescents than the other users because of the type of communication and its possibility of hiding their disabilities. this study aimed to determine the relationship between using cyberspace and the mot...

This article is the second in a 2-part series reviewing neuroimaging in childhood SNHL. Previously, we discussed the clinical work-up of children with hearing impairment, the classification of inner ear malformations, and congenital nonsyndromic causes of hearing loss. Here, we review and illustrate the most common syndromic hereditary and acquired causes of childhood SNHL, with an emphasis on ...
