Beyond the nose: hearing status in 70 patients with congenital choanal atresia
The aim was to investigate the hearing status of patients with choanal atresia and to gain new knowledge about the hearing status of patients with choanal atresia. The hearing status of 70 patients with bilateral (n = 35) and unilateral (n = 35) choanal atresia was evaluated in this cohort study. De...

| Riassunto: | The aim was to investigate the hearing status of patients with choanal atresia and to gain new knowledge about the hearing status of patients with choanal atresia. The hearing status of 70 patients with bilateral (n = 35) and unilateral (n = 35) choanal atresia was evaluated in this cohort study. Demographic data, the prevalence of comorbidities and hearing disorders, as well as the type (conductive vs. sensorineural) and level of hearing loss (HL), and the received type of hearing rehabilitation were investigated. In total, 49% (n = 34) of the study cohort had a hearing disorder. Comorbidities were significantly associated to sensorineural (p < 0.01) and conductive (p < 0.001) HL in the total study cohort. Sensorineural HL was significantly more prevalent in the bilateral (n = 15, 43%) than in the unilateral group (n = 3, 9%; p < 0.01). Conductive HL was observed in the bilateral (n = 6; 17%) and unilateral group (n = 10; 29%; p = 0.394). Rehabilitation consisted of paracentesis/ventilation tube insertion for conductive HL, and hearing aids and cochlear implants for sensorineural HL. |
