A Clinical Study of Effect of Hyperpyrexia on Otoacoustic Emissions in Children

This study demonstrated that hyperpyrexia causes hearing loss in children with fever probably due to cochlear inv olvement. We conclude that OAE can be used as a screening tool in detecting hearing loss among children because the technique is simple, reproducible, not expensive, not time consuming also effectively narrows down the children with high chances of hearing loss thereby effectively improves the chanc es of early diagnosis and hence children can be rehabilitated early, making a marked change in their future.
