Auditory air and bone conduction brainstem responses and damped rotation test for young children with bilateral congenital atresia of the ears.

This paper describes our assessment of auditory and vestibular functions at a very early age using the auditory air and bone conduction brainstem responses and the damped rotation test for infants and children with bilateral congenital atresia of the ear. Twelve infants and children with congenital microtia and occlusion of bilateral auditory canals were evaluated by this assessment to determine their function of hearing and balance and their suitability for fitting and surgical improvement.

Audiometry, Evoked Response

Universal screening for infant hearing impairment: simple, beneficial, and presently justified.

In a recent article, Bess and Paradise (Pediatrics 93 (1994) 330-334) rejected the recommendation of the National Institutes of Health that all infants be screened for hearing loss on being released from their birthing hospital. This article responds to their objections with data from the literature and operational newborn hearing screening programs. These data show that universal newborn hearing screening is practicable, effective, cost-efficient, and safe, and concludes that such programs should be implemented without further delay.

Audiometry, Evoked Response

Dilemmas in auditory assessment of developmentally retarded children using behavioural observation audiometry and brain stem evoked response audiometry.

The records of 94 consecutive developmentally retarded children with speech retardation and suspected hearing loss who underwent auditory assessment by both conventional behavioural observation audiometry (BOA) and brain stem evoked response audiometry (BERA) were analysed. In 54 children (57.4 per cent) there was good agreement between the results of both techniques leading to a clearcut diagnosis. In 22 children a diagnosis was possible only by the results of BERA as the results of BOA were inconclusive. Of the remaining 18 children, two groups could be identified whose results posed a dilemma. Group 1 (n = 7) consisted of children whose BOA test results differed considerably from their BERA results. Group 2 (n = 11) consisted of children in whom there was no discernible response by BERA while the response by BOA was either inconsistent (n = 5) or not elicitable (n = 6). The specific strategies to be adopted for hearing assessment in these situations are discussed.
