Hee-Joung Choi, Tae-ho Lee, Ki-Won Oh, Heng-Mi Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(12):1301-1307.   Published online December 15, 2006
Purpose : Hearing loss is one of the most common birth defects, and early detection and intervention positively impact language/speech and cognitive development. It has been reported that NICU graduates have a high incidence of hearing loss. So we investigated the incidence, risk factors and clinical outcome of hearing loss in NICU graduates. Methods : This study involved neonatal auditory brainstem...

Clin Exp Pediatr. 2006;49(10):1056-1060.   Published online October 15, 2006
Purpose : As hearing ability affects language and cognitive development, early detection and intervention of congenital hearing defects is very important. We analyzed the result of newborn hearing screening using automated auditory brainstem response and estimated the incidence of congenital hearing defects in newborn infants in Korea. Methods : Hearing screening tests were done on 7,218 newborn infants who were...

Purpose : To assess the incidence of neonatal hearing loss in a neonatal intensive care unit and the relative importance of risk factors for hearing imparement in a neonatal intensive care unit which the Joint Committee on Infant Hearing(JCIH) had recommended. Methods : One thousand, two hundred and one newborns admitted to the Good Moonhwa Intensive Care Unit from May...
Investigation of Automated Neonatal Hearing Screening for Early Detection of Childhood Hearing Impairment
Jeong Il Seo, Si Uk Yoo, Sung Hyeon Gong, Kwang Su Hwang, Hyeon Jung Lee, Joong Pyo Kim, Hyeon Choi, Bo Young Lee, Ji Sun Mok
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(7):706-710.   Published online July 15, 2005
Purpose : Early diagnosis of congenital hearing loss through the neonatal hearing screening test minimizes language defect. This research intends to identify frequency of congenital hearing loss in infants through neonatal hearing screening test with the aim of communicating the importance of hearing test for infants. Methods : From May 20, 2003 to May 19, 2004, infants were subjected to Automated...
Clinical Significance of Auditory Brainstem Response(ABR) in Speech/Language Disorders
Ki Won Oh, Woo Saeng Park, Soon Hak Kwon, Jin Kyung Kim, Jun Hwa Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(10):1199-1203.   Published online October 15, 2002
Purpose : The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of auditory brainstem response(ABR) as a screening tool in children with speech and language disorders. Methods : Between January 1, 1999 and December 31, 2001, 139 patients with chief complaints of speech and language delay were recruited from the pediatric neurology clinic, Kyungpook National University Hospital, Daegu, Korea. They had ABR on entry and the...
Auditory Brainstem Responses in Premature and Fullterm Infants
Hyun Mi Kim, Tae Sung Ko, Ki Soo Kim, Moo Song Lee, Kyung Hee Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(8):1036-1045.   Published online August 15, 1995
Purpose : We tried to know normal range of auditory brainstem responses in premature and fullterm infants who have no rksk factor during perinatal period and to determine that the abnormal ABR in premature and fullterm infants may predict developmental delay. Methods : ABR evaluations were performed on 283 premature and fullterm infants from NICU of the Asan Medical Center during...
A Study of Auditory Brainstem Responses in Neonates with Hyperbilirubinemia and Their Neurodevelopmental Outcome
Sung Shin Park, Myoung Jae Chey, Kil Hyun Kim, Hak Soo Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1995;38(1):1-9.   Published online January 15, 1995
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia is a significant risk factor for the developemtn of otoneurologic disorder. Hyperbilirubinemia resulting in kernicterus produces widespread neuronal damage with the most common sites of staining and destruction involving the hippocampus, basal ganglia and the brainstem nuclei in the floor of the fourth ventricle, including the dorsal cochlear nucleus. ABR may be a useful tool for the monitoring early...
A Study of Auditoru Brainstem Responses in Neonates with Birth Asphyxia
Su Kyung Kang, Kum Hee Hur, Myoung Jae Chey, Hak Soo Lee, Il Tae Kang
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1992;35(2):191-200.   Published online February 15, 1992
Birth asphyxia is an insult to fetus or newborn due to lack of oxygen or perfusion to various organs, especially to brain, resulting in the important complication known as hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Auditory brainstem responses may assist in evaluating the severity of the brain injury. ABR testing was performed in 20 ful term neonates with birth asphyxia with 1-minute or 5-minute...
Change of Auditory Brainstem Response(ABR) on Neonatal Asphyxia.
Jeong Sam Jeon, Chong Woo Bae, Sa Jun Chung, Chang Il Ahn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1989;32(10):1391-1396.   Published online October 31, 1989
Neonatal asphyxia is insult to the newborn due to lack of oxygen or perfusion to various organs. It is associated with tissue hypoxia, especially brain. So hypoxic-ischemic brain injury is the most important complication known as hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy. The EEG as well as various evoked potentials (auditory, visual and somatosensory) may assist in evaluating the severity of the damage. This study was undertaken to...

More recently, several studies have been repotted about the abnormalities of auditory brainstem response (ABR) in hyperbilirubinemia of newborn. By using of ABR, visual evoked potenital and nuclear magnetic resonance techniques, some investigators suggested that transient alteration in ABR in severely jaundiced neonates indicated reversible transient subclinical or clinical bilirubin induced neurotoxicity. They thought it would be the early stage of kernicterus. We experienced two...
Developmental Changes of Auditory Brainstem Responses in Children.

Auditory Brainstem Response(ABR) has been found to be useful for evaluating objective assessment of hearing thresholds, maturation of the brainstem and neurological disorders in the brainstem. Therefore it is essential to define normal ranges and accurate changes in the wave form of the ABR in children. This study was undertaken with the analysis of 243 ABR in children with normal otological, developmental, neurological...
