During a specified 12-month period, a prospective study of all children admitted to a 139-bed city children's hospital with confirmed bacterial meningitis enabled assessment audiologically at 48 h, 6 weeks and 12 weeks post-admission using a test battery approach including auditory brainstem evoked responses and tympanometry. Results suggested conductive dysfunction to be a major cause of fluctuating hearing loss within the group. The incidence of sensori-neural loss was 16.6% of ears tested at final outcome. Results are discussed with reference to their implications for audiological management.
在特定的12个月期间，对一家拥有139张床位的城市儿童医院收治的所有确诊为细菌性脑膜炎的儿童进行了一项前瞻性研究，在入院后48小时、6周和12周采用包括听性脑干诱发电位和鼓室导抗图在内的测试组合方法进行听力评估。结果表明，传导功能障碍是该组听力损失波动的主要原因。在最终结果中，感音神经性听力损失的发生率为所测试耳朵的16.6%。本文结合这些结果对听力管理的影响进行了讨论。
