Etiology of Prelingual Hearing Loss in the Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Era: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To conduct a scoping review on etiologic investigation of prelingual hearing loss among children <2 years of age in the era of universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS).

Data sources

PubMed, Embase, PsycInfo, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library databases.

Review methods

We searched for articles published from January 1, 1998, to February 19, 2020. We reviewed studies that (1) included children identified with either congenital or delayed-onset hearing loss before 2 years of age among cohorts who had undergone UNHS and (2) investigated ≥1 etiologies of hearing loss. We defined hearing loss as congenital when confirmed after UNHS failure and as delayed onset when diagnosed after ≥1 assessments with normal hearing.
