Overview

This review highlights management gaps for hearing loss in children with asymptomatic congenital cytomegalovirus, suggesting the need for improved screening and diagnostic strategies.

Key Points

  • Asymptomatic congenital cytomegalovirus can lead to significant long-term hearing loss in infants, necessitating better screening practices.
  • Research shows 8–15% of asymptomatic carriers may develop late-onset hearing loss beyond the neonatal period, impacting future outcomes.
  • Current management practices focus on symptomatic cases, leaving asymptomatic patients at risk for neurodevelopmental impairments and hearing loss.
  • Awareness of congenital cytomegalovirus as a leading cause of sensorineural hearing loss in children is crucial for public health.
