Outcomes and Management of Infants Who Refer Newborn Hearing Screening

CONCLUSION: Our incidence of sensorineural hearing loss was 3.8% (95% CI 2.0, 5.5), compared to rates of 0.44 to 68% in the published literature. Most patients had normal hearing, usually identified after only 1 repeat test. OME requiring myringotomy tube insertion was the most common pathology requiring intervention. Close observation for resolution and intervention, if warranted, is critical to prevent sequelae.PMID:37322843 | DOI:10.1177/00034894231180949
