BACKGROUND Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the leading infectious cause of neurologic disabilities and sensorineural hearing loss in children. Sensorineural hearing loss prevalence in CMV suggests a viral tropism for the inner ear. Vestibular disorders induced by CMV infection are underestimated. This is the largest and most thorough study to assess the incidence of vestibular dis...

BACKGROUND Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) are widely used for human neonatal deafness screening, but have not been reported for clinical use in dogs. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To investigate the feasibility of TEOAE testing in conscious puppies and the ability of TEOAE testing to correctly identify deaf and hearing ears, as defined by brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER). A...

Despite many scientific developments in the biology of hearing, there remain no wide-spread medical or surgical interventions for listeners with sensorineural hearing impairments. In addition to describing technical advances, this chapter identifies important aspects of candidature for hearing aids and some issues of service delivery.

Enlargement of the cochlear aqueduct is a controversial topic, with experienced investigators doubting its existence because of a lack of published cases. We describe the CT appearance of an enlarged cochlear aqueduct in a patient with advanced congenital inner ear anomalies and congenital hearing loss. The intent of this article is to present the CT appearance of a presumably enlarged cochlear...

This article discusses the features of construction educational process in physical culture for children primary school age with hearing impairments. problem is relevant due to fact that at present health and their development are paramount importance various social programs, including education.

Advances in sequencing technologies and increased understanding of the contribution of genetics to congenital sensorineural hearing loss have led to vastly improved outcomes for patients and their families. Next-generation sequencing and diagnostic panels have become increasingly reliable and less expensive for clinical use. Despite these developments, the diagnosis of genetic sensorineural hea...

The purpose of this study is to determine the teaching, curriculum, and methods used by teachers in science learning process for students with special needs Indonesia. We use qualitative research methods. subjects are (children visual impairments, children hearing intellectual disabilities, physical impairments) at one schools (SLB) Kuningan, results show that most curriculum from teacher books...

BACKGROUND: Congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the leading infectious cause of neurologic disabilities and sensorineural hearing loss in children. Sensorineural hearing loss prevalence in CMV suggests a viral tropism for the inner ear. Vestibular disorders induced by CMV infection are underestimated. This is the largest and most thorough study to assess the incidence of vestibular di...

In 1991, Arnold Starr and colleagues described an 11-year-old child with the paradoxic findings of absent auditory brainstem responses in the presence of normal cochlear microphonics (CMs) and otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). The child demonstrated severely impaired speech understanding despite a mild loss of hearing sensitivity. Further evaluation showed impaired temporal processing as exhibited ...

Waardenburg syndrome is a known autosomal dominant cause of congenital hearing loss. It is characterized by a distinctive phenotypic appearance and often involves sensorineural hearing loss. Temporal bone abnormalities and inner ear dysmorphisms have been described in association with the disease. However, middle ear abnormalities as causes of conductive hearing loss are not typically seen in W...
