Abstract:BackgroundNeonates with immature auditory function (eg, weak/absent middle ear muscle reflex) could conceivably be vulnerable to noise‐induced hearing loss; however, it is unclear if neonates show evidence of hearing loss following MRI acoustic noise exposure.PurposeTo explore the auditory effects of MRI acoustic noise in neonates.Study TypeProspective.SubjectsTwo independent cohorts of neonates (N = 19 and N = 18; mean gestational‐age, 38.75 ± 2.18 and 39.01 ± 1.83 weeks).Field Strength/SequenceT1‐weighted th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
