Abstract
Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection is a common congenital infection that causes sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). Despite its substantial impact on public health and cost burden, epidemiology and clinical features of CMV-related SNHL have never been reported in the Korean populations. This study investigated the detailed audiologic phenotypes of cCMV infection to see if a specific SNHL pattern is associated with a particular clinical setting. A total of 38 patients with cCMV infection were studied retrospectively. Patients were classified into three groups with distinct demographics: clinically driven diagnosis (n=17), routine newborn CMV screening according to the NICU protocols (n=10), or referral to ENT for cochlear implant (CI) (n=11). The incidence of cCMV infection was 3.6%, showing 33.3% of SNHL among cCMV patients, 38% of asymmetric hearing loss, 29% of late-onset hearing loss, and diverse severity spectrum in patients with CMV-related SNHL. CI recipients with CMV-related SNHL showed a significantly improved speech perception. Surprisingly, in 36.4 % of CI implantees, initial audiological manifestation was significant asymmetry of hearing thresholds between both ears, with better ear retaining significant resi...Continue Reading
