Environmental teratogens pose risks to infant hearing. Early recognition and prevention of exposure are crucial for reducing childhood hearing loss and deafness.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pediatrics
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Neonates are at risk for hearing loss, with environmental teratogens being significant contributing factors.
  • The Joint Committee on Infant Hearing has identified key indicators for neonatal hearing loss risk.
  • Environmental teratogens can adversely affect the developing auditory system.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To revisit and update the understanding of environmental teratogens impacting infant hearing.
  • To discuss clinical presentations, diagnostic findings, and treatment options for teratogen-induced hearing impairment.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive Medline literature search was conducted.
  • The search covered the latter half of the 20th century.
  • Literature reviewed focused on infectious, chemical, physical, and maternal teratogens affecting hearing.

Main Results:

  • Environmental teratogens are identified as critical risk factors for neonatal hearing loss.
  • Clinical, audiometric, electrophysiologic, and temporal bone findings associated with teratogenic exposure are presented.
  • Available treatment options for hearing impairment resulting from teratogenic exposure are discussed.

Conclusions:

  • Preventing and recognizing environmental teratogenic exposure is vital for reducing childhood hearing loss.
  • Early intervention and longitudinal follow-up are essential for managing affected infants.
