Functional hearing loss in children can be accurately diagnosed using auditory brainstem response (ABR) audiometry. This method is crucial when pure-tone audiometry results conflict with a child's history, highlighting the importance of physiological hearing measurements.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Pediatric Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Functional hearing loss (FHL) presents diagnostic challenges in school-aged children.
  • Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate intervention and management.

Observation:

  • A review of 39 school-age children diagnosed with FHL over 5 years at Kyushu University Hospital.
  • Pure-tone audiometry showed varied patterns, often flat or saucer-shaped with mild to moderate hearing loss.
  • Auditory brainstem response (ABR) audiometry revealed normal hearing thresholds in most cases (35/39 patients).

Findings:

  • ABR audiometry indicated normal hearing in 65 ears and mild threshold elevations in 6 ears (4 patients).
  • Discrepancies between pure-tone audiometry and patient history were noted in FHL cases.
  • Environmental factors may play a role in the development of FHL.

Implications:

  • ABR audiometry is a vital physiological measure for diagnosing FHL when pure-tone results are inconsistent.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis through ABR can lead to timely and effective management strategies for children with FHL.
  • This study underscores the necessity of employing advanced audiological assessments to confirm functional hearing loss in pediatric populations.
