Auditory Outcomes in Adolescents with Prenatal Alcohol Exposure

The aim of the study was to investigate three aspects of auditory function (auditory acuity, cochlear dysfunction, and auditory processing) in adolescents with fetal alcohol exposure without phenotypic changes. Fifty-one adolescents with and without intrauterine exposure to alcohol were selected fro...

description The aim of the study was to investigate three aspects of auditory function (auditory acuity, cochlear dysfunction, and auditory processing) in adolescents with fetal alcohol exposure without phenotypic changes. Fifty-one adolescents with and without intrauterine exposure to alcohol were selected from a cohort study. The summons, evaluation, and analysis of the results were carried out blindly regarding the respective exposure to alcohol. The auditory tests were pure-tone audiometry, transient otoacoustic emissions, and behavioral assessment of auditory processing (speech-in-noise, dichotic digits, and gap-in-noise). After testing, 45 adolescents were included in the evaluation and were divided into exposed (n = 22) and non-exposed (n = 23) groups. Hearing loss was identified in one subject in the exposed group (4.5%). In the absence of hearing loss, there were no significant differences in tonal thresholds or in the magnitudes of the sensory (cochlear) responses between groups (p > 0.05). There was also no difference between the two groups regarding performance on the processing tests (speech-in-noise p = 0.71, dichotic p = 0.94, and gap-in-noise p = 0.33). However, the exposed group had more cases of hearing disorders (hearing loss plus auditory processing disorders) than the non-exposed group (22.7% vs. 4.3%).
