Developmental trends between 3-24 months were assessed in 194 normocephalic infants with prenatal Zika virus exposure. Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development Screening Test–3rd Edition cognitive scores remained in the typical range. Communication skills developed at a slower rate suggesting that neurodevelopmental delays may emerge at olde...

Objectives To determine the incidence and risk factors of hearing loss (HL) in Brazilian neonates. Study design 11,900 neonates were screened for hearing and congenital CMV (cCMV). Low and high-risk babies who did not pass their hearing screening and infants with cCMV were scheduled for a diagnostic audiologic evaluation. Results The incidence of...

Background: The exact contribution of congenital CMV infection (cCMV) to congenital and early-onset permanent hearing loss in highly seropositive populations is unknown. Objectives: To determine the contribution of the cCMV to hearing impairment and to estimate the effectiveness of newborn hearing screening (HS) in identifying infants with CMV-r...

The transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) have been widely used in neonatal hearing screening. To compare the TEOAEs in newborns at term and preterm vis-à-vis the following variables: ear side, gender, frequency spectrum and gestational age. By means of a cross-sectional cohort of 66 newborns up to the 28th day of life (41 newborns at ter...

The aim of the study was to establish the extended high frequency thresholds (EHF) of school-age children with no hearing complaints. The study was conducted on 50 children aged 8 to 12 years with pure tone thresholds (0.5, 1 and 2 kHz) of 15 dB HL or less, with normal speech discrimination and tympanometry and with the presence of contralateral ac...

Objective: To develop a sensory glove model and test it in subjects with normal sensitivity in the upper limbs, who have been trained to replace hearing with touch. Methods: To make the equipment, a glove, mini-microphones, amplifier and headphones were used. Seven female subjects, with a mean age of 26.28 years (± 1.03) were selected to use the eq...
