Detection rates of cortical auditory evoked potentials at different sensation levels in infants with sensory/ neural hearing loss and auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder
Gardner-Berry, Kirsty; Chang, Hsiuwen; Ching, Teresa; Hou, Sanna (Seminars in Hearing, 2015)With the introduction of newborn hearing screening infants are being diagnosed with hearing loss during the first few months of life. For infants with a sensory/ neural hearing loss (SNHL) the audiogram can be estimated ... -
Etiology and Audiological Outcomes at 3 Years for 364 Children in Australia
Ching, Teresa Y. C.; Dahl, Hans-Henrik M; Hou, Sanna; Seeto, Mark; Sjahalam-King, Jessica; Hutchison, Wendy (U.S. National Institute of Health PubMed Central, 2013-03-28)Hearing loss is an etiologically heterogeneous trait with differences in the age of onset, severity and site of lesion. It is caused by a combination of genetic and/or environmental factors. A longitudinal study to examine ... -
