Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To examine auditory brainstem evoked responses (ABRs) of children with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CDLS) to evaluate hearing and the utility of hearing aids in hearing impaired cases. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: Thirteen Japanese infants and children with CDLS were studied. Behavioral observation audiometry and ABR were used to evaluate hearing. RESULT: Four different ABR patterns at 85 dB clicks were observed: no response in either ear (6 patients); clear ABRs in both ears (2 patients); no response in one ear but ABRs recorded in the other ear (3 patients); and no peaks after wave III in one ear and ABRs recorded in the other ear (2 patients). However, in 2 patients with no response in either ear at the first measurement, ABRs were recorded in one ear within 2 years. Three out of 13 patients exhibited better responses to sound through the use of hearing aids and auditory training. CONCLUSIONS: The fitting of hearing aids and early consistent training have a significant effect on auditory development in CDLS children in terms of making them aware of sound localization and the different types of environmental sound.
