ABSTRACT
Abstract. Introduction. The article discusses risk factors for hearing loss in premature infants, the number of which increases in the postnatal period during treatment in the intensive care unit. Purpose. To identify risk factors in premature infants that affect the development of hearing loss. Materials and methods. Forty-two premature infants were examined. Anamnestic data were collected using an original questionnaire, clinical and laboratory examination methods were conducted. Results. The study showed that premature infants with identified hearing impairments have a shorter gestational age and birth weight, more often show signs of intrauterine hypoxia and asphyxia during childbirth, and fetal infection. After birth, they were more often given artificial ventilation and antibiotic therapy. Discussion. The presence of concomitant risk factors for the development of hearing loss in premature infants contributes to an earlier manifestation of the disease, which does not exclude its minor manifestations in other patients and the development of pathology at a later age. Conclusions. Premature infants require more attention in the diagnosis of hearing impairment, which can be achieved by changing the routing of such patients and long-term audiometric monitoring.
