Author: Madrimova A. G.

Abstract:

The objectives of the present work were to study and evaluate the state of the acoustic analyzer in children with cerebral palsy. The measurements were made by the so-called evoked otoacoustic emission technique. A total of 67 childrens with various forms of cerebral palsy were available for the examination. Screening of the hearing function by the method of evoked otoacoustic emission was performed using an «Neuro-Audio-Screen» device (Neurosoft, Russia). Analysis of the results of audiological examination indicates that up to 58,3% children showed otoacoustic emission from both ears and from one ear respectively. 41,7 % of the children failed otoacoustic emission screening.
