- Abstract
None of the neonates with a normal neonatal BA threshold of <=35 dB nHL showed a subsequent abnormal PTA SP 0.5-4 kHz sp threshold of >25 dB HL. At the time of the study, the lowest stimulation screening level for BA was 35 dB nHL.[3] BA was considered abnormal if wave III or wave V was seen at 45 dB nHL or higher in either ear. Abbreviations BA brainstem audiometry HL hearing level nHL normalised hearing level PTA pure-tone average VLBW very low birthweight VPT very preterm Preterm infants have an increased risk of hearing loss[1] and should be thoroughly evaluated during the neonatal period.
