Overview

Review reveals delayed hearing loss in asymptomatic infants, suggesting the need for improved screening and treatment strategies.

Key Points

  • Cytomegalovirus is the leading cause of sensorineural hearing loss in children, with many cases asymptomatic at birth.
  • Approximately 90% of infected infants show no symptoms, yet 8%-15% may develop late-onset hearing loss later.
  • Delayed complications from asymptomatic congenital CMV are responsible for 30%-40% of overall long-term morbidity.
  • Current clinical management lacks adequate focus on asymptomatic cases, highlighting a need for improved protocols in diagnosis and treatment.
