The aim of this study was the investigation epidemiology permanent hearing impairment in children first year life Russian Federation after implementation newborn universal screening program. prevalence loss estimated at 2.5 per 1,000 based on official statistical data and reports rehabilitation centres 2016. A cohort 405 born 2012 examined age from 0 to 4 years life. Among them 276 were diagnosed with congenital prelingual loss. 88% cases bilateral, sensorineural confirmed 84% cases. genetic...

The problem of diagnostics congenital hearing impairment has acquired special importance in the light new possibilities for early rehabilitation patients presenting with this condition. implementation programs universal audiological screening into clinical practice Russia and many other countries made it possible to significantly reducethe time necessary confirm begin rehabilitative treatment. present paper was designed analyze international experience newborn infants as exemplified by such...

The universal newborn hearing screening (NHS) program was implemented in Russia 2008 to replace the high-risk screening. More than 95% coverage and significant improvement early detection intervention is achieved. Meanwhile, it shown that current OAE-based missed 13% of newborns with genetically ascertained hereditary sensorineural loss (SNHL). aim study assess results genetic investigation NHS a large cohort Russian children bilateral SNHL feasibility implementation combined Russia....

Congenital and early onset bilateral sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is mainly caused by mutations in numerous genes. The introduction of universal newborn screening (UNHS) has increased the number infants with mild, moderate, moderate-to-severe detected first year life. We aimed to evaluate audiological features patients SNHL according genotype. Audiological genetic data were analyzed for 251 their relatives congenital SNHL. Hearing severity, audiogram profile, interaural symmetry,...

Early detection of hearing impairment in newborns and children the first year life is relevant due to its high prevalence negative impact on development child. The etiology epidemiology this pathology are studied well; there modern effective methods for diagnosing auditory system as well correcting lost function. Therefore, congenital loss complies with all principles disease screening. Specialists from National Research Centre Audiology Hearing Rehabilitation (NRCAHR, located Moscow,...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate effectiveness rehabilitation patients after cochlear implantation in early and late periods operation taking into consideration etiology congenital deafness. comprehensive clinico-audiological examination performed during period from 2010 2015 involved 246 children who had undergone (CI). All were operated at National Research Center for Audiology Hearing Rehabilitation 2003 2013. 83 (56%) aged 1 3 years time surgery. Their age varied 18...

Introduction. The negative impact of congenital hearing loss on child’s development, education and socialization can be reduced by early identification intervention as a result universal newborn screening. screening program needs continuous improvement monitoring outcomes correction algorithms. SWOT analysis applied to make effective decisions.

Autosomal dominant hearing loss is represented by a large number of genetically determined forms. Over 50 genes associated with nonsyndromic impairments were described. Pathogenic variants in the CEACAM16 gene lead to development DFNA4B loss. Currently, 8 pathogenic this have been The objective study was audiological and molecular genetic characteristics family CEACAM16-associated autosomal A detailed anamnesis collected, comprehensive examination performed for 21 members. Genetic testing...

Hearing loss is a significant public problem affecting 466 million people worldwide. Hearing-impaired persons benefit from the use of hearing aids, but need unmet in 85% global population. For Russian population, no data have been found on this issue. The purpose study to estimate prevalence aid adult population.data and self-reported trouble with were obtained open access database Russia Longitudinal Monitoring Survey-Higher School Economics (RLMS-HSE) for years 1994-2021.the adults ranged...

The clinical protocol of audiological assessment in infants was prepared by the workgroup Russian pediatric audiologists from different regions. goal is unification approaches to diagnosis infants. has been developed according evidence based medicine principles, reviewing current scientific publications on topic and taking into account order providing medical services other practice guidelines. When direct not available, both indirect consensus were considered making recommendations. This...

This is the second part of previously published clinical protocol audiological assessment in infants. The goal unification approaches to diagnosis following sections were included protocol: behavioral testing infants, sequence, duration examination and necessity follow-up, hearing special cases (premature children, children with congenital infections, after meningitis, external ear abnormalities, single-sided deafness, hydrocephalus shunts, auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder, mild loss...

Background. Nowadays there is a need to revise the Russian list of risk factors hearing loss and deafness based on their study according evidence-based medicine analysis audiology service capabilities. Moreover, audiologic screening system for newborns infants should be revised in every region identify reasons mismatch with international standards find ways its efficacy improvement. Objective. The aim increase program all-round screening. Methods. This consisted two parts. 1) first stage...

To study the prevalence of mutations in GJB2 gene deaf and children Astrakhan region compare them with frequency hearing impairment living other regions Russian Federation taking into account regional characteristics. This work describes results epidemiological, audiological analysis, medical genetic examination children. We examined 6 frequent recessive a group 79 impaired registered Regional Center for Hearing Rehabilitation. Mutations were detected 36 (46%), two found only 18 (23%),...
