Hearing loss in high risk neonates

Abstract: Objective: To determine the incidence and risk factors associated with hearing loss in high risk neonates. Design: Descriptive cross sectional study. Setting: Level II NICU of a tertiary care hospital. Participants: 280 high risk infants were screened. Intervention: All high-risk babies were initially screened with both transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TOAE) and Auditory brainstem response (ABR). Outcome variables: Primary: to determine the incidence of auditory neuropathy in high risk infants; Secondar… Show more

“…In the present study hearing impairment was 78.6%(n=22)among neonates having meningitis proven by CSF analysis andwas statistically significant (p<0.05). Ourresultis very high as compared to Jewel John et al 2007 and Vaghasiya et al 2016 [21] where 50% of neonatal meningitis cases were diagnosed as hearing impaired. High occupancy in our NICU necessitating early discharge prior to completion of full course of antibiotic and poor patient compliance to follow up may be a contributing factor.…”
