“…One of the most common risk factors is ototoxic medication [13][14][15]. The results obtained in our research confirm that, while ototoxic medication is the most common factor of hearing loss (33.13%), it induced sensorineural hearing loss in only 2.86% of our cases.…”

“…The results obtained in our research confirm that, while ototoxic medication is the most common factor of hearing loss (33.13%), it induced sensorineural hearing loss in only 2.86% of our cases. A similar opinion is described by other authors, that ototoxic medication was not the most probable risk factor in any of the patients with concentration in the therapeutic range [13,14].…”

“…Martinez-Cruz et al [17] reported that days under mechanical ventilation and length of hospital stay were significantly increased in the group of children with SNHL. A similar opinion was described by van Dommelen et al, that prolonged ventilation is often a risk factor of hearing loss in infants [14]. Other authors do not confirm the relationship between mechanical ventilation and SNHL [18].…”

“…Consequently, it was possible to reduce unnecessary referrals and minimize stress, distress and parental anxiety related to income hearing screening. The reduced rates obtained in the literature are based on two stages of NHS-test and retest [19, 20]. There are studies that performed more than one testing before hospital discharge, which further reduced failure rates [21].…”

The aim was to describe the outcome of neonatal hearing screening (NHS) and audiological diagnosis in neonates in the NICU. The sample was divided into Group I: neonates who underwent NHS in one step and Group II: neonates who underwent a test and retest NHS. NHS procedure was automated auditory brainstem response. NHS was performed in 82.1% of surviving neonates. For GI, referral rate was 18.6% and false-positive was 62.2% (normal hearing in the diagnostic stage). In GII, with retest, referral rate dropped to 4.1% and false-positive to 12.5%. Sensorineural hearing loss was found in 13.2% of infants and conductive in 26.4% of cases. There was one case of auditory neuropathy spectrum (1.9%). Dropout rate in whole process was 21.7% for GI and 24.03% for GII. We concluded that it was not possible to perform universal NHS in the studied sample or, in many cases, to apply it within the first month of life. Retest reduced failure and false-positive rate and did not increase evasion, indicating that it is a recommendable step in NHS programs in the NICU. The incidence of hearing loss was 2.9%, considering sensorineural hearing loss (0.91%), conductive (1.83%) and auditory neuropathy spectrum (0.19%).

“…In developed countries familial hearing loss, ie hereditary factors, sepsis and/or meningitis, and craniofacial malformations were identified to be independent significant risk factors for pathologic hearing screening results 29 . The difference in such associations with developed countries might be due to advanced care and decreased postnatal morbidities associated with LBW or SGA babies and careful monitoring of drug levels for ototoxic medications.…”

The objectives of the study were to demonstrate hearing status in newborns at first screening by Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions and to find out the relationship between abnormal hearing screening and known risk factors. This study was conducted in the department of neonatology of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University in collaboration with department of otolaryngology and department of obstetrics and gynaecology. This prospective observational study included a cohort of 168 neonates from Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and neonatal Nursery (Minimal care unit). All were screened for hearing impairment using Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions in out-patient department of otolaryngology by a trained audiologist before discharge from hospital. Risk factors analysed were according to the criteria of American Academy of Pediatrics. Of the total neonates screened, Refer rate was 32.7% irrespective of presence or absence of risk factors. Small for gestational age, in-utero infections, ototoxic medications, birth weight <1500, sepsis/meningitis, hyperbilirubinemia were found to be significant risk factors (p<0.0001). It can be recommended that hearing screening should be universally done for all newborns.

Risk indicators for hearing loss in infants treated in different Neonatal Intensive Care Units

Abstract: Several independent risk indicators for HL were found, but they could not explain all differences in prevalence rates of HL between NICUs.
