Abstract

Objective: To assess neonates and children suffering from meningitis, during the critical and recovery periods, using ABR, EOAE and Behavioral Audiometry.Method and Material: 40 neonates to 12-year-old children were assessed.Using ABR test, the hearing of these cases was evaluated during the critical period-that is, 24-72 hours following the diagnosis. This test was repeated when patients recovered from meningitis-that is 24 hours before discharge (recovery period) Hearing function, again, was assessed 7-14 days following discharge through Immittance Audiometry, Behavioral Audiometry (PTA, SF and BOA). And EOAE (TEOAE and DPOAE) tests procedures.Findings: During the critical period, ABR test revealed normal hearing in 35 patients (87.5%) and severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss (unilateral and bilateral) in 5 patients (12.5%-girl=4, boy=1). The same results were obtained in reevaluation in the recovery period.On the other hand, 7-14 days after of discharge, Immittance Audiometry and Behavioral Audiometry (including PTA, S.F and BOA tests), confirmed the mentioned results (cross - gcheck).EOAE test (DPOAE and TEOAE) in 35 normal hearing patients (according to ABR test), showed normal cochlear function. 2 out of 5 cases suffering from severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss revealed normal cochlear function. According to EOAE results, abnormal cochlear function was evident in 3 patients.Conclusion: ABR, EOAE tests, and Behavioral Audiometry in children meningitis during the critical period and recovery period can be used to diagnose any degree of hearing loss with a high level accuracy. The result of present study is confirmed by previous investigations.
