- Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Normal hearing in early infancy is essential for speech, language, and social and emotional development of human beings. The usual age at diagnosis of hearing loss is at least 18-30 months (or even later in cases of less severe hearing loss) when there are no screening programs in use. The advent of technologic improvements in assessing the hearing of newborn infants has made possible the implementation of national newborn hearing screening. As a direct result of hearing screening programs, both the age of identification of hearing loss and ageat entrance into intervention programs are dropping from anaverage two-year age level to within the first few months of life. Previous studies showed that risk of low birth weight, low gestational age, preterm birth, perinatal morbidity and hospital admission is higher for fertilization in vitro infants than naturaly fertilization babies. Regard to these findings, we think that fertilization in vitro is risk factor for hearing loss. Our goal is to investigate whether the fertilization in vitro carries a risk in terms of hearing babies. MATERIALS and METHODS: This study is conducted at Cerrahpasa Faculty of Medicine, Department of Audiology, University of Istanbul between the dates of January 2014 to March 2015. The study is included, 3395 naturaly fertilization infant and 33 fertilization in vitro infant. All of them are screened at Hearing Screening Unit of Cerrahpasa Faculty of Medicine, Department of Audiology. Infants who failed the screening test were followed up diagnostically. RESULTS: 3352 of naturaly fertilization infants were passed the hearing screening test, 43 of them who failed the screening test were started use hearing aids. 27 of fertilization in vitro infants were passes the hearing screening test, 4 of them failed the screening test so the were followed up diagnostically. And 1 infant baby was diagnosed with hearing loss. He has a profound hearing loss. Now he use cochlear implant.
