“…Three of them reached a normalization of their hearing threshold, while one presented a complete recovery of the ANSD ear, with the SNHL ear presenting stable profound hearing impairment. Savenko et al, in their longitudinal cohort study on preterm infants, also reported three cases of moderate ANSD who had normal hearing at the end of the follow-up; differently from our investigation, they identified few children who initially suffered from ANSD but subsequently transformed to SNHL and vice versa [ 23 ]. In addition, not every patient who presented an ANSD pattern was preterm because two of them presented other risk factors.…”

“…The frequency of audiological examinations depended on the age and hearing status of the child. Evaluations of patients diagnosed with hearing loss were performed 3–4 times a year for children under 2 years of age and 2–3 times a year for children from 2 to 5 years of age; infants without any hearing impairment were assessed 2–3 times a year during their first year of life, followed by annual examinations as they got older [ 23 ].…”

Risk Factors for Sensorineural Hearing Loss and Auditory Maturation in Children Admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Units: Who Recovered?

Background: Newborns admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) are at higher risk of developing sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL), which may improve over time. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of the main risk factors for SNHL in a NICU cohort, focusing on children who underwent auditory maturation. Methods: An observational study of 378 children admitted to NICUs, who were followed for at least 18 months, with periodic audiologic assessments. Results: Out of 378 patients, 338 had normal hearing and 40 were hearing-impaired; we found a higher percentage of extremely preterm (EPT) and extremely low-birthweight (ELBW) infants in SNHL children (p < 0.05). Seventeen infants presented auditory improvement, with a mean maturation time of 6.17 months. A significant difference emerged between patients with stable SNHL and those who improved only in the case of hyperbilirubinemia (p = 0.005). The initial hearing threshold was a predictor of auditory improvement and moderately correlated to the time of auditory maturation (p = 0.02). Conclusions: Our study supports the trend toward recognizing worse prognoses and slower maturation processes among NICU children who suffer from severe to profound SNHL. Caution must be taken when deciding on earlier cochlear implantation.

“…al stated that prematurity is rarely categorized as a risk factor because ear formation is complete during the second trimester [9]. Nonetheless, there are reports that babies born <32 weeks must be monitored intensively until the baby is 3-4 years old [26]. Infants with LBW are also reported to have a risk of hearing loss both early and late onset, so their speech and language development must be monitored [23] [25].…”

Hearing loss in children can be caused by various risk factors and sometimes they overlap. These risk factors include a family history of hearing loss, TORCH infection (Toxoplasmosis, Rubella, Cytomegalovirus, and Herpes Simplex). Purpose: To describe an overview of risk factors in infants by OAE and AABR examination. Methods: This study is a retrospective observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. This study uses a secondary data source in the form of medical records of infants with hearing loss. The research was conducted at Dr.Soetomo Surabaya Hospital. Results: The most common risk factor was premature birth, 287 (79.1%). The least risk factors are toxoplasma, pneumonia, speech delay and Aminoglycosides 4 days as much as 1 (0.3%). Conclusion: risk factors for babies with hearing loss include:

Aim To compare listening and spoken language outcomes after cochlear implantation for children born preterm and at term, and to examine patterns associated with additional disabilities or gestational age. Method Children were included if they underwent cochlear implantation in 2013 or 2014 and had complete 5‐year follow‐up data available. An analysis of assessment data recorded annually was conducted, including outcomes as measured by the Category of Auditory Performance (CAP), the Speech Intelligibility Rating, Second Edition (SIR 2) scale, and the British Picture Vocabulary Scales, Third Edition (BPVS‐3). Analyses were conducted to measure the impact of preterm birth and of additional causes of disability on these outcomes. Results Eighty‐two children (39 males, 43 females; median corrected age at first cochlear implantation 28.5mo [interquartile range 16.3–48.5]) were included in the study. Children who underwent cochlear implantation experienced significant improvements as measured by the CAP, SIR 2, and BPVS‐3. Comparable improvements were seen in the groups born at term and preterm. Children with additional disabilities experienced significant improvement in all measures but performed less well than children without additional disabilities. Interpretation Infants born preterm benefit from cochlear implantation to a degree comparable to their peers born at term. Additional disabilities may limit improvements in speech intelligibility, listening performance, and receptive vocabulary. Children with additional disabilities, nonetheless, derived significant benefit from cochlear implantation; additional benefits of cochlear implantation for this subgroup may go unmeasured by the outcome tools used in this study.
