Short-term outcomes of infants with hyperbilirubinemia-associated auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder in neonatal intensive care unit

s: The incidence of hyperbilirubinemia associated-ANSD was 2.2% of infants screened in the NICU. ANSD caused by hyperbilirubinemia may be transient, with most infants improving or recovering hearing by 12 months of age. Infants with poorly differentiated ABR waveforms and low bilirubin concentration are more likely to recover and hearing aids are not recommended in hyperbilirubinemia-associated ANSD below 12 months of age.
