Speech and Language outcomes in Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) children managed with amplification.

Objective: To evaluate speech and language outcomes in children with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) without significant comorbidities who received hearing rehabilitation in the form of hearing aids and/or cochlear implantation.

Methods: Retrospective chart review of pediatric ANSD patients at a large academic tertiary care institution from 2010 to 2019. Patients were included if they received a diagnosis of bilateral ANSD, had minimal to no comorbidities, and had speech and language testing (SLT) on at least two occasions.

Resolution of auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder after shunt placement in a patient with hydrocephalus: A case report.

Purpose: There have been previous case reports suggesting the resolution of both sensorineural hearing loss and retrocochlear involvement through the management of hydrocephalus with shunt placement. This is a case report of a patient with Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) that resolved after shunt placement in a patient with hydrocephalus.

Materials And Methods: Chart review of a single patient with a diagnosis of ANSD and hydrocephalus.

Outcomes of audiometric testing in children with auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder.

Introduction: Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD) is characterized by hearing loss ranging from normal to profound. Additionally, results are confounded by commonly fluctuating hearing thresholds in ANSD. As such, we sought to evaluate results of audiometric testing on children with ANSD and the impact of age and time on testing results.
