title: Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) treated with inhaled nitric oxide: preliminary hearing outcomes.
abstract: The hearing of 28 children, born with a diagnosis of persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) and treated with inhaled nitric oxide, was followed. The latest test for the children varied from 5 to 30 months. Of this group, three children had mild conductive hearing losses; no child had a significant sensorineural hearing loss.
