Overview

Retrospective study characterizes hearing loss patterns in children with congenital CMV, suggesting the need for long-term monitoring.

Key Points

  • The study aimed to characterize the hearing outcomes in children with congenital cytomegalovirus infection, focusing on the differences between congenital and delayed-onset hearing loss.
  • Conducted a retrospective study of children with confirmed cCMV.
  • Analyzed longitudinal audiologic follow-up data.
  • Classified hearing loss into congenital and delayed-onset sensorineural hearing loss.
  • Studied better- and poorer-ear thresholds and bilateral involvement.
  • 30% of the 195 children developed sensorineural hearing loss.
  • Congenital SNHL was present in 17% of children, while 16% developed delayed-onset SNHL.
  • Delayed-onset cases were predominantly asymptomatic at birth.
  • Significant preservation of better-ear thresholds was noted in delayed-onset cases.
