Additional abnormalities included an increased slope of the latency-intensity function suggestive of sensory-neural hearing loss. These studies clearly indicate the significance of early detection by the use of evoked potentials in the early diagnosis of hearing disorders in children with meningitis....
Hearing loss can be caused by illnesses such as meningitis—and hearing aids can help. Learn whose hearing is affected by meningitis, how meningitis damages hearing, and meningitis symptoms.

13,22 Neonates, the elderly, the immunocompromised, and those presenting with significant neurologic deficits suffer higher mortality rates. Major morbidities occurred in 12.8% of cases and minor morbidities occurred in 8.6% of cases.29 The most common morbidities were hearing loss (33.6%), seizures...

Antibiotics can sometimes be used to treat meningitis successfully in bacterial infections. It is essential to begin treatment for meningitis as early as possible because it can cause brain damage, hearing loss, seizures, and accumulation of fluid on the brain. Meningitis can be fatal even with tr...
Kirschning Hermann Wagner Bernadette Popp Hans-Walter Pfister and Uwe Koedel 展开 摘要: Hearing loss is one of the most common sequelae in survivors of pneumococcal meningitis, affecting up to 26% of them. Here, we established the first mouse model of meningitisassociated hearing loss and ...
HYPOTHESIS: The treatment of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in gerbils with bacterial meningitis will not only prevent cochlear fibrosis and neo-ossification but also reduce hearing loss. BACKGROUND: SOD an O2-scavenger, has been shown to prevent cochlear fibrosis and neo-ossification in gerbils infecte...
Bacterial meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges, including the pia, arachnoid, and subarachnoid space, that occurs in response to infection with bacteria and/or bacterial products. Bacterial meningitis is a significant cause of mortality and morb
Decreased mortality and neurologic sequelae (hearing loss, etc.) are seen with adjunct therapy in patients with pneumococcal meningitis but not other pathogens. The benefit of dexamethasone is less clear in developing countries with high HIV prevalence and malnutrition or with delayed clinical ...
