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...

introduction: noonan syndrome (ns) is a heterogeneous genetic disease that affects many parts of the body. it was named after dr. jacqueline anne noonan, a paediatric cardiologist.case report: we report audiological tests and auditory brainstem response (abr) findings in a 5-year old malay boy with ns. despite showing the marked signs of ns, the child could only produce a few meaningful words. ...

Objectives: The result of auditory brainstem response is used worldwide for detecting hearing impairments or hearing aids. This study aimed to introduce the superiority of mathematical innovation algorithm toward subjective evaluation by an audiologist. The automatic algorithm method is encouraged for detecting the waves of Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR), because it can reduce subjective eva...

Introduction: Preterm birth is a risk factor for a number of conditions that requires comprehensive examination. Our study was designed to investigate the impact of preterm birth on the processing of auditory stimuli and brain structures at the brainstem level at a preschool age.   Materials and Methods: An auditory brainstem response (ABR) test was performed with low rates of stimuli in 60 ch...

background and aim: respiratory distress syndrome (rds) is a lung disorder, which can damage the auditory brainstem pathways because of hypoxia. the aim of this study was to evaluate brainstem auditory electrophysiology changes of neonates with rds. methods: fifteen term neonates who suffered from rds, 15 term neonates admitted in the nicu for any reason except rds, and 15 normal term neonates ...

Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) is an auditory evoked potential extracted from ongoing electrical activity in the brain. ABR is especially used for newbornand children hearing screening, auditory threshold estimation, and brainstem lesion detection in response to stimuli such as click sound, tone burst or chirp. In order to support clinical decision making the analysis of ABR signals must exh...

The auditory-brainstem response (ABR) to short and simple acoustical signals is an important clinical tool used to diagnose the integrity of the brainstem. The ABR is also employed to investigate the auditory brainstem in a multitude of tasks related to hearing, such as processing speech or selectively focusing on one speaker in a noisy environment. Such research measures the response of the br...

BACKGROUND Cortical hemispherectomy leads to degeneration of ipsilateral subcortical structures, which can be observed long term after the operation. Therefore, reorganization of the brainstem auditory pathway might occur. The aim of this study was to assess reorganization of brainstem auditory pathways by measuring the auditory brainstem response (ABR) in long-term hemispherectomized patients....
