Risk factors for sensorineural hearing loss in pediatric chronic otitis media

Results of pediatric tympanoplasty on short‐term surgical missions

“…27 Most of our patients had experienced years of disease, potentially contributing to their sensorineural components. 28,29 Exposure to rubella, measles, 30 cytomegalovirus, 31 and HIV 32,33 might have contributed as well in a country with low immunization rates. Most worrying was the possibility that long-term exposure to aminoglycoside ear drops had caused true SNHL.…”

Recognition and management of adults with Turner syndrome: From the transition of adolescence through the senior years

“…External malformations of the ears and craniofacial morphologic differences are frequent findings (see also Section 11). Eustachian tube dysfunction is viewed as a precursor to middle ear disease, a predisposition factor to both conductive hearing loss and sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) (Bois et al, ; Yehudai, Most, & Luntz, ). Karyotype is an important predictive factor, as complete lack of the X chromosome or absence of the short arm of the X chromosome increases the risk of development and severity of hearing loss (Bonnard et al, ; Cameron‐Pimblett et al, ; Hultcrantz, ; King et al, ; Verver et al, ).…”

Acquired Hearing Loss in Children

“…Therefore, the hearing in children with both of these forms of OM must be carefully monitored. 54,55 HEARING LOSS SECONDARY TO TRAUMA There are many different categories of trauma that can result in hearing loss in children, including head trauma, exposure to ototoxic medications, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, ECMO, iatrogenic injury due to surgery, and noise. Of all of these, environmental noise is the most common.…”
