sensorineural hearing loss AHMED ALARFAJ EVALUATION FOR HEARING LOSS HISTORY • • • • Character of Hearing Loss: Prenatal and perinatal history: Contributing Factors: Associated Symptoms: PHYSICAL EXAMINATION • Otoscopy/Microscopy/ Pneumatoscopy: • Inspection and Palpation: • Other Physical Exam: HEARING TEST • Objective Measures: • Behaviour Observation Audiometry: • By 3 years old may consider conventional testing ANCILLARY TEST (may be consider for select cases) • • • • CT of Temporal Bones: Complete Blood Count: Treponemal Studies: Perchlorate Test and Thyroid Function Tests: • Lipid Profile: ANCILLARY TEST (may be consider for select cases) • Immune Function Tests: • Electrocardiogram: • Urine Analysis Blood Urea Nitrogen, Serum Creatinine: • TORCH Studies: GENERAL MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS • If suspects syndromic hearing loss consider genetic evaluation (chromosomal analysis) and counseling • Hearing amplification devices should be offered early to prevent speech and developmental delays.
