“…16 MRI provides superior quality images of soft tissues and neural structures, but is associated with increased cost and longer imaging times, which often necessitate sedation in children. 17,18 However, recent studies utilizing modified MRI protocols, adapted in an effort to reduce the use of sedatives and improve tolerance in children, have shown considerable promise. 19,20 Due to these various factors, there is considerable variation in practice and institutional protocols in the type and timing of imaging obtained.…”

Children with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) should undergo a comprehensive medical evaluation to determine the underlying etiology and help guide treatment and counseling. In this article, we review the indications and rationale for medical evaluation of pediatric bilateral SNHL, including history and physical examination, imaging, genetic testing, specialist referrals, cytomegalovirus (CMV) testing, and other laboratory tests. Workup begins with a history and physical examination, which can provide clues to the etiology of SNHL, particularly with syndromic causes. If SNHL is diagnosed within the first 3 weeks of life, CMV testing should be performed to identify patients that may benefit from antiviral treatment. If SNHL is diagnosed after 3 weeks, testing can be done using dried blood spots samples, if testing capability is available. Genetic testing is oftentimes successful in identifying causes of hearing loss as a result of recent technological advances in testing and an ever-increasing number of identified genes and genetic mutations. Therefore, where available, genetic testing should be performed, ideally with next generation sequencing techniques. Ophthalmological evaluation must be done on all children with SNHL. Imaging (high-resolution computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging) should be performed to assess for anatomic causes of hearing loss and to determine candidacy for cochlear implantation when indicated. Laboratory testing is indicated for certain etiologies, but should not be ordered indiscriminately since the yield overall is low.

ZusammenfassungDa eine Schwerhörigkeit im Kindesalter schwerwiegende Folgen auf die gesamte Entwicklung des Kindes haben kann, ist es äußerst wichtig, so früh wie möglich eine genaue Diagnostik zu erstellen. In der bildgebenden Diagnostik werden mittels CT des Felsenbeins, DVT oder MRT Veränderungen und Erkrankungen von Cochlea, Mastoid, Mittelohr, Hörnerv, Kleinhirnbrückenwinkel und Hörbahn erfasst.
