Abstract

Hyperbilirubinemia is associated with hearing impairment. This study was aimed to evaluate the incidence of hearing impairment among the term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia by using otoacostic emission (OAE) and auditory brainstem response (ABR). This one year hospital based prospective observational study was conducted from October 2019 to March 2021. A Total of 190 healthy term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia admitted under the department of pediatrics, Mahadevappa Rampure Medical College, Kalaburagi during the study period were studied. Most of the neonates were boys (60.53%) and boy to girl ratio was 1.53:1. History of consanguineous marriage was noted in 6.32% of the parents. The mean age was 4.73±2.65 days. Majority of the neonates (97.37%) weighed between 2.5 to 3.5 Kg. The mean birth weight was 2.84±0.84 Kg. The mean direct bilirubin levels were 0.88±29 mg/dL and mean total bilirubin levels were 17.3±2.58 mg/dL. During OAE-I, 33.16% of the neonates were advised to refer for second OAE and during OAE-II, 2.63% of the neonates were advised to undergo BERA. The incidence of hearing impairment based on BERA findings was 2.63%. 60.53% of the babies were born by LSCS while 39.47% were born through vaginal route and all the babies with hearing impairment had vaginal delivery while none of the baby with LSCS had hearing impairment (p=0.009). No association was found between hearing impairment in neonate with sex, age at admission and history of consanguineous marriage in parents and total bilirubin levels (p>0.050). Also the mean direct bilirubin, total bilirubin, birth weight, duration of NICU stay and age admission (p>0.050) were similar in babies with and without hearing impairment.
