Hearing alterations were proved by measuring the brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) for children up to 5 years of age and children with mental retardation; audiograms was used for children older than 5 years with normal neuro-psychological development (NPD).<\/jats:p>\n\t\t\t\t<jats:p>Of the 70 studied patients 17 (24%) had hearing loss (10 bilateral and 7-unilateral) and all of them had sensorineural hearing loss, which is associated with low weight at birth, posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus and brainstem symptoms at the time of diagnosis of hydrocephalus. Hearing pathology was found more often in shunt-treated patients with NPD retardation, poor functional status and low quality of life. <\/jats:p>\n\t\t\t\t<jats:p>Children with shunt-treated hydrocephalus have hearing loss of sensorineural type. Children with brain stem symptomatology at diagnosing hydrocephalus and children with post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus show higher risk of hearing loss. Children with shunted hydrocephalus and hearing loss show lower NPD, lower quality of life and lower functional status.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/folmed-2015-0041","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,5,15]],"date-time":"2016-05-15T11:59:21Z","timestamp":1463313561000},"page":"216-222","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Hearing Loss in Patients with Shunt-Treated Hydrocephalus"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"57","author":[{"given":"Margarita V.","family":"Panova","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ina E.","family":"Geneva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kalina I.","family":"Madjarova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miroslava N.","family":"Bosheva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"374","reference":[{"key":"ref11","first-page":"40","article-title":"Auditory brainstem response audiometry in neonatal hydrocephalus","volume":"14","author":"Edwards","year":"1985","journal-title":"J Otolaryngol Suppl"},{"key":"ref71","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"510","DOI":"10.3766\/jaaa.14.9.6","article-title":"Unilateral hearing loss in children with shunt -
