“…Considering the high percentage (44.68%) of profound SNHL in Western Sicily, mainly related to genetic causes, it is clear that several children, who do not benefit from hearing aids, could be candidates to cochlear implantation [17][18][19][20].…”

“…From previous reports SNHL incidence in Western Sicily resulted 2.95/1000 on well babies, increasing 50-fold on infants at risk [17][18][19]; considering the high percentage of profound HL (44.68%) discovered, mainly related to genetic causes, it is clear that many children are potential candidates to CI [17][18][19][20]. Because of the expectations (in terms of intelligibility and speech development) of the families who choose to submit their child to CI surgery, there is a compelling need to investigate the main audiometric and speech outcomes in a defined group of SNHL infants after cochlear implantation.…”

“…There is evidence that a risk indicator for hearing loss increases the number of "failures" in the OAEs evaluation and that the identification of the real cause of the failure may help detect those cases that could indeed have an auditory abnormality (1,20,21,22) . However, when this relationship was established with the ABR (a test considered the gold standard in the diagnosis of hearing loss in newborns), only meningitis and craniofacial malformation showed statistical significance.…”

“…The proband (III1) was a 3-month-old infant who was admitted to the Audiology Section of the University of Palermo after failing two neonatal hearing screenings (performed with TEOAEs) in both ears; because the Audiology Section of Palermo University represents the main speech and hearing third level centre in Western Sicily, the infant was evaluated with a global audiological assessment; environmental risk factors for SNHL (JCIH 2007) [10] were investigated through the compilation of a specific questionnaire by the parents. An experienced audiologist and otorhinolaryngologist examined the condition of the external auditory canal and tympanic membrane with otoscopy, and nose, throat, head and face in search of ear anomalies and syndromic features related to hearing impairment [11][12][13][14].…”
