Assessment of the Clinical Benefit of Imaging in Children With Unilateral Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Abstract: Imaging used to determine the cause of unilateral sensorineural hearing loss (USNHL) in children is often justified by the high likelihood of detecting abnormalities, which implies that these abnormalities are associated with hearing loss and that imaging has a positive contribution to patient outcome or well-being by providing information on the prognosis, hereditary factors, or cause of hearing loss. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the diagnostic yield of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) … Show more

“…Controversy exists in the choice of diagnostic methods for children with uSNHL. For example, some argue for using imaging [ 12 , 13 , 14 ], while a recent systematic review and meta-analysis argues that “imaging does not provide information that alters management or gives insight into prognosis or hereditary causes in most cases and therefore does not warrant strong recommendations” [ 15 ]. The prevalence of hearing loss causes may be different for congenital uSNHL, compared to uSNHL that emerges later in development.…”

“…Neuroimaging with MRI provides an accurate and reproducible assessment ( Nichols et al, 2017 ) for discerning the structural alterations of hearing loss ( Tarabichi et al, 2018 , Ratnanather, 2020 ). However, its diagnostic ability for hearing screening in children and adults has not yet been widely employed ( Feng et al, 2018 , Ropers et al, 2019 ). One of the current drawbacks is the lack of a comprehensive assessment of the structural manifestations in hearing loss ( Tarabichi et al, 2018 , Simon et al, 2020 , Ratnanather, 2020 ).…”
