auditory brainstem responses (abrs)

When should ABRs be performed?

ABRs are typically performed in the following scenarios:
- Newborn hearing screening as part of universal screening programs.
- In infants and children with risk factors for hearing loss, such as premature birth, family history of hearing loss, or infections like CMV.
- When behavioral hearing tests are inconclusive or not feasible due to the child's age or developmental status.
- To monitor the hearing of children receiving treatments that could affect hearing, such as certain antibiotics or chemotherapy agents.
