Objectives: To find out the incidence of hearing impairment in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)-admitted newborns and to correlate between several risk factors. Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: In a tertiary teaching hospital of Odisha between October 2014 and October 2016. Study population: 100 newborns delivered in the institution and admitted in NICU with usual indications and risk factors that underwent otoacoustic emission 1 and 2 (OAE1, OAE2) and Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA). Results: 84 babies in OAE1 and 86 babies in OAE2 got “pass” results. In BERA test, 92 babies got normal waveform. 7 (13.7%) of 51 premature babies, 5 (38.5%) of 13 very low birth weight babies, 7 (17.5%) of 40 babies receiving ototoxic medication for >5 days, 7 (31.8%) of 22 babies with hyperbilirubinemia, 6 (42.9%) of 14 babies with sepsis, 5 (20%) of 20 babies with birth asphyxia, 3 (60%) of 5 babies under mechanical ventilation for >5 days, 1 baby with ear abnormality, and 1 (50%) out of 2 babies with congenital infections had hearing impairment and statistically significant association with abnormal OAE and BERA test. Conclusion: There is high incidence of hearing loss in NICU-admitted newborns. OAE and BERA both should be performed for complete evaluation of hearing. Important risk factors are elaborated. Predischarge hearing assessment in NICU is most important.

Background: A child’s normal speech and language development depends on the ability to hear. Early detection of hearing loss by screening at or shortly after birth and appropriate intervention are critical to speech, language and cognitive development. Objectives were to describe socio-epidemiological profile of newborns for hearing loss screening by transient evoked oto-acoustic emissions (TEOAE) and brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA) in Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi, Jharkhand, India during 18 months period (June 2015- November 2016), and to study association between hearing loss and risk factors.Methods: This prospective study was done on 4356 newborns for hearing screening by TEOAE in maternity ward and NICU and BERA in those noted “refer” on retest TEOAE at RIMS, Ranchi, Jharkhand, India during the period of 18 months (June 2015 - November 2016). Follow- up done by visits and phone calls. Templates were generated in MS excel sheet and data analysis was done using SPSS software (version 20).Results: Study showed 3.90/1000 newborns were noted “refer” on retest TEOAE. Hearing loss (BERA- Fail) is slightly more common in males (2.20/1000 newborns), of rural areas (2.44/1000 newborns), tribal ethnicity (2.75/1000  newborns) and those delivered by lower section caesarean section (LSCS) (4.47/1000 newborns). Hearing loss noted in 2.07/1000 newborns. Among high risk newborns 21.41/1000 newborns were noted “refer” on retest TEOAE and 11.53 were found BERA fail.Conclusions: Hearing loss was 21.71 times more common in newborns associated with high risk factors, mainly low birth weight and preterm newborns.

BACKGROUND: Brainstem evoked response audiometry (BERA) is not widely used for hearing screening because it is considered less practical; however, it is often used for diagnostics. Since the founding of automated auditory brainstem response (AABR), it often uses because it is more practical, has a high sensitivity and specificity in early detection of hearing loss (HL) in high-risk infants. AIM: The objective of the study was to determine the differences results of AABR and BERA for HL detection in high-risk infants at neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). METHODS: The study was conducted from November 2014 to September 2015 with consecutive sampling. The subjects were high-risk infants treated in the NICU room of the Neonatology Division at Dr. Soetomo General Hospital Surabaya and examined using AABR or BERA to determine the existence of HL. RESULTS: BERA results obtained normal (negative) as many as 28 ears (73.68%) and not normal (positive) as many as 10 ears (26.32%). AABR results obtained pass (negative) as many as 23 ears (60.53%) and refer (positive) as many as 15 ears (39.47%). Detection of HL in high-risk infants in NICU with AABR obtained 40% of sensitivity and 60.71% of specificity, 26.67% of positive prediction (NPP), 73.91% of negative predictive value (NPN), 55.26% of accuracy, 39.29% of false positive error rate, and 60% of false negative error rate. The comparative test of Wilcoxon signed-rank between the results of AABR and BER obtained p = 0.236. CONCLUSIONS: There was no difference between AABR and BERA results for HL detection in high-risk infants at NICU.

Introduction Diabetes has become a global epidemic. Hearing loss has been long associated with diabetes. Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA) is an objective, non-invasive, electro diagnostic test that not only evaluates the functional integrity of the subcortical auditory pathway but also provides topo-diagnosis of hearing loss. This study aims to identify the role BERA in detecting hearing loss early in diabetic patients.Materials and Methods In this study a total of 210 patients were taken and subjected to blood glucose levels followed by PTA were divided into two groups. Group I (n=105) consisted of diabetic patients with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and Group II (n=105) had age and sex matched non-diabetics with SNHL. All the patients were evaluated with BERA.Results All the patients were subjected to Brain Stem Evoked Response Audiometry (BERA). Absolute latency of Wave I, III, V, I-III, III-V and I-V were assessed for both the ears. In both ear Absolute latency were significantly higher in diabetics as compared to non-diabetic patientsConclusion The findings of present study showed that the severity of hearing loss was significantly higher in diabetic patients as compared to non-diabetic controls. Level of glycemic control showed a possible link with severity of hearing loss.
