title: [The results of audiologic examination by the method of evoked otoacoustic emission in children born from multiple pregnancies].
abstract: The objectives of the present work were to study and evaluate the state of the peripheral portion of the acoustic analyzer in premature infants born after multiple pregnancies. The measurements were made by the so-called evoked otoacoustic emission technique. A total of 62 premature infants born after multiple pregnancies were available for the examination. Diagnostics of the hearing function by the method of evoked otoacoustic emission was performed using an ECLIPSE device (Interacoustics, Denmark). Analysis of the results of audiological examination indicates that up to 90.3% and 3.2% of the premature infants aged 6 months showed otoacoustic emission from both ears and from one ear respectively. 6.5% of the children failed otoacoustic emission screening.
