Abstract: Opinion statement Hearing loss is the most common sensory disorder in the USA. The diagnosis of congenital hearing loss starts with newborn hearing screening, which is best performed with auditory brainstem evoked responses in order to avoid the risk of missing auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder. A careful history and physical exam can occasionally help reveal the etiology for congenital hearing loss. Imaging studies, either CT temporal bones or MRI of the internal auditory canals without gadolinium, and ge… Show more

“…1,10 In 70% of those cases, it is related to a non-syndromic mutation, 80% being of recessive inheritance, 15% of dominant inheritance and 1% linked to the X cromossome. 7 The most common mutation occurs in the GJB2 gene, responsible for coding the connexin 26. 1,10 The prevalence of genetic deafness suffers regional variations and the influence of consanguineal marriages, frequent in some cultures.…”

“…Imaging exams are useful to identify ear malformations. 7,8 Still, the cause of an important percentage of sensorineural hearing loss remains undefined. Genetic factors are found to be a common cause of hearing impairment even when a strong familiar history is not identified.…”

“…After an accurate personal and familiar history taking and an otoscopic evaluation, a complete physical examination is the first step in the approach to the diagnosis of hearing loss in children [1,[61][62][63] . In case of external ear malformations (i.e., auricle abnormalities, external auditory canal atresia, or stenosis) which may be isolated or associated with other physical anomalies (therefore configuring a syndrome), it is mandatory to evaluate the auditory function.…”

“…ABR testing is not only able to detect hearing loss associated with cochlear dysfunction but also forms of hearing loss due to problems in conveying the sound information to the brain [auditory neuropathy (AN)]. With AN, a newborn will pass OAE testing but fail ABR testing [7].…”
