Track: Neonatal hearing disorders
The session on "Neonatal Hearing Disorders" explores the many facets of neonates' auditory health, with a particular emphasis on the unique anatomy and physiology of the ear. It addresses the embryogenesis of the auditory system, sophisticated neonatal auditory screening methods, and many categories and causes of hearing disorders. By integrating detailed anatomical, physiological, and developmental insights with advanced screening and classification methodologies, participants will be well-prepared to enhance diagnostic accuracy and implement effective management strategies for neonatal hearing impairments.
Anatomy and Physiology of the Ear:
This session covers the complex structures and functions of the ear, including the outer, middle, and inner ear components. Emphasis is placed on the auditory pathways and mechanisms of sound transduction essential for understanding neonatal hearing disorders.
Neonatal Hearing Screening:
Focused on the methodologies and technologies used in neonatal hearing screening, this session explores Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABR) and Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) tests. It discusses best practices for early detection of hearing impairments and the impact of timely intervention on developmental outcomes.
Embryology of the Ear:
This session examines the embryological development of the auditory system, detailing the stages of ear formation from gestation through birth. It highlights key developmental milestones and potential disruptions that can lead to congenital hearing disorders.
Classification of Hearing Loss:
Explore the various classification systems for hearing loss, including conductive, sensorineural, and mixed types. This session provides insights into the criteria used for categorizing hearing impairments and their implications for treatment strategies.
Types and Causes of Neonatal Hearing Loss:
Delve into the diverse types of neonatal hearing loss and their etiologies, such as genetic factors, perinatal complications, and infections. This session offers a comprehensive overview of both congenital and acquired causes, emphasizing diagnostic approaches and management options.
