Abstract
Background and aim: The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to show the demographic and clinical features of newborns diagnosed with hearing loss and to evaluate the results of hearing rehabilitation in terms of auditory perception and speech and language skills. Materials and methods: Demographic data, auditory perception performances and language skills of newborns were evaluated with Ling’s six sounds test, Infant-Toddler/Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale and Preschool Language Scale- Fourth Edition on the first admission and subsequently at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th years. Results: A total of 30 newborns (10 girls, 20 boys), with an average age of 48.70±17.19 (range, 5 to 75) months at the initial evaluation-were included in this study. There were significant increases in the performances of Ling’s six sounds and IT-MAIS/MAIS scores. These improvements were observed more remarkably especially in the first and second years. Total language performances of newborns were increasing progressively and reached the level of chronologic age at the end of the second year. Conclusion: Neonatal hearing screening programs must be popularized for early diagnosis and referral of newborns with hearing loss. Increased awareness and improvement of communication on these topics are mandatory for the achievement of better results.
