Article Synopsis
- The study aims to explore how transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) signals in neonates and infants with congenital hypothyroidism are related to their clinical and lab results.
- It involved comparing TEOAE amplitudes between 22 infants with congenital hypothyroidism and 22 without, aged 0-12 months, using statistical tests.
- Results showed no significant differences in TEOAE amplitudes between the groups, but a connection was found between TEOAE amplitudes and levels of thyroid hormones like TSH and T4, suggesting these hormones may affect hearing.
Endocochlear, retrocochlear and/or central origin hearing damage may be related to the absence of appropriate levels of thyroid hormone during morphogenesis and/or auditory system development. Hearing disorders related to the thyroid are not well studied, despite speculation on the pathophysiological mechanisms. The objective of this review was to characterize the main pathophysiological mechanisms of congenital hypothyroidism and to evaluate the relationship with central and peripheral hearing disorders.
