ABSTRACT
The main objective of this work was the development of the algorithm of dynamic audiological examination of children with congenital CMVI. Today, there are 60 children with congenital CMVI under dynamic observation, 8 children (13%) have hearing disorders, in two (25%) of them sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) was delayed. The comparison group included 50 patients, where hearing disorders have been revealed in 4% of cases. Besides, this article presents a clinical case of peripheral hearing improvement in a child with the resolution of hydrocephalus associated with congenital CMVI. In consideration of the information from foreign literary sources and based on the available data about the period of occurrence of the delayed hearing disorders in children both with symptomatic and asymptomatic form of CMVI, the authors suggested an algorithm for dynamic audiological observation of children with congenital CMVI providing and examination once per three months over the first year of life, once per 6 months – during the 2nd year of life and once per year at the age of 2 through 6 years.
