There are currently no standard guidelines for assessing hearing in pediatric patients who are evaluated for tympanostomy tubes. We describe the results of audiologic testing on 600 consecutive pediatric patients evaluated for tube placement. Six patients (1%) were found to have previously undiagnosed unilateral or bilateral moderate or severe neurosensory loss. Patients undergoing evaluation for tympanostomy tube placement have a low but significant likelihood of neurosensory hearing loss and should have age-appropriate hearing assessment as part of their overall evaluation.
目前，对于因鼓膜置管而接受评估的儿科患者，尚无评估听力的标准指南。我们描述了对600例连续接受鼓膜置管评估的儿科患者进行听力测试的结果。发现6例患者（1%）此前存在未被诊断出的单侧或双侧中度或重度神经感觉性听力损失。因鼓膜置管而接受评估的患者发生神经感觉性听力损失的可能性较低，但具有显著意义，应进行与其年龄相适应的听力评估，作为其全面评估的一部分。
