Pure-Tone Audiometry in Prenatal Rubella

Abstract

Audiological findings on 94 rubella children with histories of prenatal rubella incurred during the epidemic of 1963 to 1964 are reported. These children represent the first group drawn from a population of over 600 whose hearing could be evaluated by conditioned pure-tone air and bone-conduction tests. A hearing loss of 26 dB or more (ISO 1964) in the better ear was found in 58.5% of the children tested. Thirty-eight percent were of profound degree. The most frequently encountered audiometric configuration was "flat" which occurred in 63.8% of the patients. Audiograms were characterized by three forms of symmetry: degree of hearing loss, type of hearing loss, and configurational classification. While the majority of losses (67%) were sensorineural, conductive components were found in 32.8% of the better ears of the testable children.
