Auditory brain stem response testing in infants with collapsed ear canals.

H Hosford-Dunn, C A Runge, A Hillel

    Ear and Hearing
    |September 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Auditory brain stem response (ABR) testing in newborns can be misinterpreted due to ear canal collapse. This common issue may explain abnormal ABR screening results in infants.

    Area of Science:

    • Audiology
    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Auditory brain stem response (ABR) is crucial for neonatal hearing assessment.
    • Interpretive errors can affect ABR results, impacting diagnostic accuracy.
    • Transient conductive hearing deficits are a known challenge in neonatal ABR interpretation.

    Observation:

    • Ear canal collapse is frequently observed in neonates.
    • This report specifically documents the occurrence of collapsing ear canals in this population.
    • The incidence of collapsing ear canals in neonates is considered quite common.

    Findings:

    • Collapsing ear canals represent a significant interpretive challenge in neonatal ABR testing.
    • The study hypothesizes that ear canal collapse contributes to abnormal ABR findings.

  • This phenomenon may account for the observed rates of abnormal ABRs in neonatal hearing screening.

    • Implications:

    • Addressing ear canal collapse is essential for improving the accuracy of neonatal hearing screening.
    • Understanding transient conductive defects like canal collapse can refine ABR interpretation protocols.
    • Accurate ABR interpretation is vital for early identification and management of hearing loss in newborns.
