This paper strengthens the importance of neonatal screening in the early identification and etiological specification of hearing loss by demonstrating that subclinical cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common viral agent causing sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) among pediatric patients. Consequently, if hearing impairment is found on neonatal screening, viral studies should be done at once. In addition to a survey of previous literature, these points are presented from a retrospective study of 14 children with SNHL caused by focal CMV. Moreover, vestibular studies are presented which suggest that hearing and vestibular impairments may operate independently of one another or conjointly in patients infected with CMV.
本文通过证明亚临床巨细胞病毒（CMV）是导致儿科患者感音神经性听力损失（SNHL）的最常见病毒病原体，强化了新生儿筛查在听力损失早期识别和病因明确方面的重要性。因此，如果在新生儿筛查中发现听力障碍，应立即进行病毒学研究。除了对既往文献的综述外，这些观点还来自于对14例由局灶性CMV引起的SNHL患儿的回顾性研究。此外，还介绍了前庭研究，其表明在感染CMV的患者中，听力和前庭功能障碍可能相互独立或共同存在。
