[Audiological evaluation of ototoxicity in gentamycin-treated children (author's transl)]. 1978

J Innitzer, and G Moser, and A Rosenkranz

Audiological evaluation was performed on 36 children who had been treated with gentamycin for severe infections of the urinary tract and/or of the bronchopulmonary system. An average of three years had elapsed between medication and audiological testings. Only one child showed a slight degree of symmetrical sensoneural hearing loss in the high frequency range.

D001299	Audiometry	The testing of the acuity of the sense of hearing to determine the thresholds of the lowest intensity levels at which an individual can hear a set of tones. The frequencies between 125 and 8000 Hz are used to test air conduction thresholds and the frequencies between 250 and 4000 Hz are used to test bone conduction thresholds.	Audiometries
