Correlations between risk factors for hearing impairment and TEOAE screening test outcome in neonates at risk for hearing loss

Vestibular-evoked myogenic potentials and caloric stimulation in infants with congenital cytomegalovirus infection

“…Cytomegalovirus is one of the herpesviridae, known for their potential for latency and reactivation 1 . Cytomegalovirus may cause damage to cochlear outer ciliary cells, and is a major cause of sensorineural hearing loss 2 – 6 …”

Vestibular system in infants after systemic aminoglycoside therapy

“…In case of doubtful results and when serious risk factors of hearing loss are present, recording of auditory brainstem responses (ABRs) makes it possible to establish the hearing threshold [13]. Although there is a strong supposition that aminoglycosides can influence the vestibular function in infants [14], the routine examination of the infants' inner ear does not include vestibular tests.…”

Evaluation of hearing screening in newborns in Poland

“…The study of Ratyńska et al from 2001 showed that in neonates with genetic factors, TORCH infections and administered ototoxic drugs, TEOAE signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values were significantly reduced compared to neonates without these factors. On the other hand, the records of the TEOAE study in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia showed an unexpectedly higher SNR compared to the records of newborns without this risk factor [11].…”
