Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
BERA is a non invasive technique, easily recordable, not affected by sedation, anesthesia or age which helps in hearing assessment. Approximately 1 of every 1000 children is born deaf. Early diagnosis of hearing impairment is important as the rehabilitative procedure can be started early which help speech and language development. Our aim is to find out its application of screening hearing loss in newborns with high risk and pediatric age group in ENT setup like our hospital. Objective of the study is screening of deafness in newborn and pediatric age group esp. high risk cases. A cross sectional prospective cohort study was carried out. 36 cases was taken, BERA was performed on them after clinical evaluation.Results were evaluated and statistical analysis done. Out of 36 pediatric cases screened 15 cases(41.7%) had normal hearing on screening, 13 cases(36.1%) had profound hearing loss without any risk factors, 6 cases(16.7%) had hearing loss due to meningitis complications, 2 cases(5.6%) had hearing loss due to neonatal jaundice. Children with risk factors are 1.65 at more risk of developing hearing loss when compared to normal children; but statistically not significant.
