Profile and Stability of Sensorineural Hearing Loss in Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn.

Walton, Joseph P.; Hendricks-Munoz, Karen

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v34 n6 p1362-70 Dec 1991

This study found that 19 of 51 infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn were diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss, an incidence 25 times greater than that of intensive care unit infants in general. Treatment durations with mechanical ventilation were significantly longer for the hearing-impaired group compared to the normal hearing group. (Author/JDD)
