Background: Congenital hypothyroidism increases the risk of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Children with hearing impairment are prone to communication disorders. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of SNHL in patients with congenital hypothyroidism in Qazvin, Iran. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on children with transient or permanent congenital hypothyroi...

AIM To examine the yield of computed tomography (CT) of the temporal bones when investigating sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and to identify factors associated with CT findings. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 116 consecutively investigated children with bilateral SNHL at the audiology department of Great Ormond Street Hospital, London. Main outcome measures were CT results, hearing loss...

Newborn hearing screening is a type of screening test for the early detection of hearing loss. It can recognize with good accuracy newborns affected by hearing impairment allowing an early diagnosis and intervention and avoiding cognitive and linguistic deficits [1-6]. The incidence of bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in Sicily is 2.35 cases per 1000 newborns; this value increases to...

PURPOSE Kawasaki disease involves acute febrile systemic vasculitis that can cause a variety of symptoms by affecting various organs. Here, we aimed to evaluate the prevalence, causes, and prognosis of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) occurring in children with Kawasaki disease. METHODS Patients who were diagnosed with Kawasaki disease and received inpatient treatment in the Pediatrics Depar...

Objective: To analyze the results of pure tone audiometry in terms age, sex, and type hearing loss attending hospital with complaint loss. Materials Methods: In this descriptive study, patients Benazir Bhutto complaints were included. The data analysis was done under sex unilateral/bilateral, after every case. determined as conductive, SNHL, mixed loss.Results: There 47 patients. Males 34 (72.3...

BACKGROUND A large vestibular aqueduct (LVA) is the most common inner ear anomaly found on the imaging evaluation of children with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). It is frequently associated with syndromic and nonsyndromic forms of SNHL or as an isolated finding. Large vestibular aqueduct syndrome can be characterized by delayed-onset, fluctuating, asymmetric, unilateral or bilateral SNHL or...

OBJECTIVES To examine the incidence of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection relative to common genetic etiologies of hearing loss in a pediatric population with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), and to characterize intracranial radiological abnormalities in patients with CMV-associated hearing loss. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Academic tertiary care center. PATIENTS A total...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The present study aimed to examine whether the response patterns to the chimeric lexical tone tokens, combined with their pure tone audiometry (PTA) results, could separate listeners with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) from listeners with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD). STUDY DESIGN Case-control study. METHODS Forty-three SNHL subjects and 46 ANSD subj...

The use of the distraction test as a screen for hearing loss in infancy was reviewed in the Bristol and District Health Authority. Inaccuracies in data recording were found which challenged the screening and referral rates produced by the National Child Health Computer. Representative samples of children failing the distraction test and children needing hearing aids were followed up through the...
