Article Synopsis
- Infants with perinatal risk factors can experience hearing loss, with about 2-4% affected at birth.
- A study examined how hearing aid use impacted auditory function in these infants, measuring it through otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), auditory brain responses (ABRs), and auditory steady state responses (ASSRs).
- Results showed significant improvements in ABR and ASSR thresholds after six months of aid use in the right ear, but no changes were noted in OAEs, suggesting that while hearing aids may enhance certain auditory responses, they do not modify the auditory receptor function.
Approximately 2-4 % of newborns with perinatal risk factors present hearing loss. The aim of this study was to analyse the auditory function in infants with perinatal brain injury (PBI). Brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEPs), auditory steady state responses (ASSRs), and tympanometry studies were carried out in 294 infants with PBI (586 ears, two infants had unilateral microtia-atresia).
