Pediatric Hearing Loss-The Problem • Newborn Infant screening mandated in 1999 • Implemented in 2001 • 127,981 births in NC in 2009
» 127,911 (99.2%) Screened at birth for hearing loss » 97.3% documented before 1 months of age » 56% failures are lost to follow-up (documentation or F/U)
• Estimates » 3-4/1000 have HL (450-500 children/yr) » 1:1000 have severe to profound HL (128 children/year)

The Otology Perspective • Classification of hearing loss • Diagnosis
» Etiology and severity » Specific anatomical relationships to functional findings » Identification of associated problems if possible » Referrals to related professionals
• Treatment » Medical or surgical » Referrals for amplification and therapy
• Prevention and Educate • Communicate with professionals
» Lots of discussion on cases!!!

Pediatric Audiology Issues • How sure are about the degree of hearing loss?
» Are electrophysiological results sufficient? » Are the behavioral thresholds accurate?
• Amplification adequate? • Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder
» Auditory and biological uncertainty
• Comprehensive evaluation rather than relying on one test result!
• Lots of team discussion!

Bilateral Cochlear Implants • Advantages
» Always implant better ear » Hearing in quiet » Hearing in noise
• Incidental hearing
» Never off the air » Sound Localization
• Disadvantages » Two surgeries
• 1 or 2 anesthesias
» Loss of acoustic hearing • Bath tub hearing • CI limited frequency
spectrum
» Future therapies » Vestibular effects » Double programming » Economics

Factors that Delay implantation • Auditory
» Delay in diagnosis » Significant residual hearing » Fluctuating hearing » Unreliable or conflicting test
results » ANSD » Underfit amplification
• Speech development » Good progress despite
profound HL
• Parental issues » Missed appointments » Don’t wear devices » No educational buy-in » Socioeconomic
• Medical » Anatomic uncertainty
• CN deficiency • Severe inner ear malformation
» Multiple Challenges • Cerebral palsy • Autism • Other
