Abstract

Introduction: Congenital hearing loss leads to delayed language development, severely impacting learning ability and the development of social skills, which cause consequences on children's psychophysiology. Early detection and knowing clearly about clinical features are very important, especially for children with risk factors for hearing loss. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of factors associated with and imaging features of sensorineural hearing loss among children the Children Hospital No.1. Material and Methods: A prospective study. Results: From January 2022 to June 2023, 72 children with a diagnosis of sensorineural hearing loss at the Children Hospital No.1 were included in this study. The degree of hearing loss most severe-to-profound hearing loss (≥ 90 dB) was 51,4% as many as 46 children (63.9%) with asymmetrical hearing loss in most of the subjects. Most of the children with bilateral congenital sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) are in the age > 5 years old (mean age: 5.8 years). Children with a history of neonatal resuscitation accounted for the highest rate 59% within factors of risk factors for hearing loss. Conclusion: There was a delay in the diagnosis of prelingual sensorineural hearing loss, with a high proportion of the severe-to-profound among children presenting with a diagnosis. Enhancement of knowledge and development of hearing screening programs for at-risk children towards a universal newborn hearing screening is urgently needed.
