How Common Is Hearing Loss?
32 million children around the world are affected with hearing loss. Approximately 1.4 to 5 out of every 1000 children are born with hearing loss; 60% of these cases are due to preventable causes.
Childhood hearing loss is often identified during newborn hearing screenings that are performed 24-48 hours after birth. However, some children who pass these screenings show signs of loss as they grow older. 1.1 billion people between the ages of 12-35 are at risk of hearing loss due to exposure to noise in recreational settings with 12.5% having permanent damage.
ABR/ASSR/OAE TEST
To know what caused the hearing loss and which part of Ear organ got defect, Infants and Children need objective test including OAE/ABR/ASSR.
After getting the exact test result, they have to get suitable hearing aids or if hearing aids are not effective, they have to get cochlear implants.


Method of measuring the hearing of children.
Hearing loss in children.
ABR / ASSR
Different types of hearing screening tests are used to screen hearing in babies. These tests are safe and comfortable.

OAE (Otoacoustic Emissions)
A cochlea that is functioning normally not only receives sound, it also produces low-intensity, measurable sounds called OAEs. OAEs are absent when an infant/child has a sensorineural hearing loss of 40dBHL or greater. The condition known as “auditory neuropathy/dys-synchrony” is diagnosed by comparing OAE results (typically normal) with ABR results (typically abnormal).

ABR (Auditory Brainstem Response)
The second test is called the auditory brainstem response or ABR. ABR testing is an electrophysiological measurement that allows the audiologist to obtain information about the condition of the inner ear and/or auditory nerve.
