Hearing impairment in children with cystic fibrosis

A review of the literature shows that the acute problem of sensorineural hearing loss is associated with frequent use of aminoglycosides, and predictors of conductive hearing loss are inflammatory processes in the middle ear and eustachian tube. It has been demonstrated that not in all cases, antibacterial therapy with aminoglycoside antibiotics leads to hearing impairment, which demonstrates the urgent need to study the auditory function of children with cystic fibrosis and identify the characteristics of hearing impairment.
