There are few articles describing the effects of elevated bilirubin levels on the auditory system. The objectives of this paper was to study the prevalence of hearing impairment in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia and assess outcome/reversibility of hearing impairment in these neonates with follow-up hearing evaluation.
