Popis: From February 1989 to January 1994, nine of 63 (14.3%) survivors of neonatal extracorporeal membrane oxygenation developed bilateral sensorineural hearing loss. Seven of nine children were tested and passed initial or repeat clinical auditory brainstem response evaluation completed before discharge from neonatal intensive care. Hearing loss was suspected and confirmed between 6–36 and 10–48 months of age, respectively. We recommend regular audiologic follow-up for these high-risk infants until bilateral thresholds for hearing can be obtained.
