The aim of this study is to assess the neonatal click Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) results in relation to the subsequently determined mean hearing loss (HL) over 1, 2 and 4 kHz, as well as over 2 and 4 kHz. Between 2004-2009, follow-up data were collected from Visual Reinforcement Audiometry (VRA) at 1 and 2 years and playaudiometry at 4 and 8 years of newborns who had failed neonatal hearing screening in the well-baby clinics and who had been referred to a single Speech and Hearing center. Hearing Level data were compared with ABR threshold-levels established during the first months of life. The Two One-Sided Tests equivalence procedure for paired means was applied, using a region of similarity equal to 10 dB. Initially, in 135 out of 172 children referred for diagnostic procedures hearing loss was confirmed in the neonatal period. In 106/135 of the HL children the eight-year follow-up was completed. Permanent conductive HL was established in 5/106 cases; the hearing thresholds were predominantly stable over time. Temporary conductive HL was found in 48/106 cases and the loss disappeared by 4 years of age at the latest. Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) was found in 53/106 cases, of which 13 were unilateral and 40 bilateral. ABR levels were equivalent (within a 10 dB range) to VRA levels at age 1 and 2 and play audiometry levels at age 4 and 8, both when VRA and play audiometry were averaged over both frequency ranges. Long term follow-up data of children with SNHL suggest that the initial click ABR level established in the first months of life, are equivalent to the hearing threshold measured at the age of 1, 2, 4 and 8 years for both mean frequency ranges. Click ABR can reliably be used as starting point for long-term hearing rehabilitation.
