Auditory function in newborn intensive care unit patients revealed by auditory brain-stem potentials

R E Marshall, T J Reichert, S M Kerley

    The Journal of Pediatrics
    |April 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Routine auditory screening in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) is feasible and useful. Auditory brain-stem potentials can identify infants with hearing impairment, with some cases linked to intracranial hemorrhage.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal Medicine
    • Audiology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) house vulnerable infants requiring specialized care.
    • Auditory system development and function are critical for infant development.
    • Early identification of hearing impairment in neonates is essential for timely intervention.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between clinical conditions and auditory responses in neonates.
    • To assess the feasibility and utility of auditory brain-stem potential testing in the NICU setting.
    • To identify potential risk factors for auditory impairment in this population.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective study involving 29 infants in a NICU.
    • Auditory brain-stem potentials (ABPs) were recorded using click stimuli.

  • ABPs were classified as pass or fail based on wave V presence and latency.

    • Main Results:

    • Six out of 29 infants failed the auditory screening.
    • No correlation was found between test failure and noise exposure or ototoxic medication.
    • Five infants who failed the screening had a history of intracranial hemorrhage.

    Conclusions:

    • Routine auditory screening using ABPs is clinically feasible and beneficial in the NICU.
    • Intracranial hemorrhage may be associated with auditory impairment in neonates.
    • Early detection of hearing loss enables prompt management and support for affected infants.
