“…During the embryological period, the auditory system is reported to be particularly vulnerable to toxic and teratogenic agents: ototoxic drugs (i.e., aminoglycosides, chemioterapics) used during gestation or drugs/alcohol abuse can be responsible of inner ear alterations, such as mother metabolic disorders (i.e., renal or liver failure, diabetes mellitus) [10,14] . In particular, fetal alcohol syndrome is a consequence of the alcohol teratogenic effect during pregnancy, and it is characterized by a growth defect, typical facies, microcephaly, skeletal anomalies, mild-moderate mental retardation, behavioral anomalies, congenital heart condition, and hearing loss also [15] .…”

“…Prematurity is not reported to be a risk factor itself, but the association of several risk factors may represent a predisposition to develop hearing impairment [17] : very low birth weight (<1.500 g), peri-natal asphyxia, jaundice [1] . Numerous congenital infections have been linked to hearing loss, mono or bilateral, sometimes progressive [10] . Viral infections, such as varicella, herpes, influenza, and mumps, may be responsible for SNHL as much as a bacterial meningitis (Streptococcus pneumoniae, Neisseria meningitidis) [10] .…”

“…Hearing impairments are prevalent in the U.S., affecting approximately 12.7% of the adult population (≥12 years old) and >50% of those over 65 [1]. The most common cause of hearing impairment in adults is the late diagnosis and inappropriate treatment of pediatric otitis media (OM) [2]. Therefore, accurate and early diagnosis for OM is very important to prevent subsequent hearing impairment.…”

earing loss in children is common (Box 1); by age 18 years, it affects nearly 1 of every 5 children in the United States. Without hearing rehabilitation, hearing loss can cause detrimental effects on speech, language, developmental, educational, and cognitive outcomes in children. Hearing rehabilitation can mitigate those detrimental effects for many children, particularly when identified soon after birth or onset.The diagnosis and management of pediatric hearing loss have undergone significant changes in the past 30 years. In 1993, the National Institutes of Health recommended newborn hearing screening within the first 3 months of life. 1 The Joint Committee on Infant Hearing, consisting of representatives from many national organizations dedicated to ensuring early identification, intervention, and follow-up care of infants and young children with hearing loss, published statements in 1994, 2000, 2007, and 2019 to establish guidelines for newborn hearing screening and for early hearing detection and intervention programs, benchmarks for quality, tracking of outcomes, and initial management of infants with hearing loss. 2 Through the Individuals with Disabilities Act (2004), Part C provides free intervention services from birth to age 3 years for any child in the United States identified with hearing loss, and Part B provides educational assistance for children aged 3 through 21 years through individualized educational plans and programs for hearing disability.The multichannel cochlear implant was initially approved in the United States in 1990 for children 2 years or older; the age was lowered to 18 months in 1998, 12 months in 2000, and then 9 months in March 2020. 3 The combination of newborn hearing screening programs (Box 2), advances in cochlear implant and hearing aid technology, and legislative policy changes have allowed more than 75% of children with hearing loss to attend public schools mainstreamed with normal-hearing students. 4 The ability of screenings to detect hearing loss in infancy, the efficacy of hearing aids and cochlear implants to mitigate consequences of hearing loss, the proliferation of genetic studies expanding the understanding of genes involved with hearing, and the knowledge about the interaction between hearing and cognition have fundamentally altered the understanding about children with hearing loss. This review will summarize what is known about the current diagnosis and management of pediatric hearing loss, with a focus on some of the current controversies in management.
