ABSTRACT

The study shows the objective data collected during research on hearing ability among 45 children with cystic fibrosiswho have been treated with ototoxic antibiotics at least twice and who have not complained of hearing loss. Due to atympanography testing it has been discovered a middle ear pathology among 13,3% of the cases and an evoked otoacousticemission helped to identify a hearing disorder in 43,6% of the cases. The said disorder involves first and foremost the outerhair cells function, responsible for the 4 kHz frequency. In the cases of failed testing the hearing dysfuntion occurs on the0,5 2 4 6 8 kHz frequencies. This obtained data indicates the necessity to conduct an objective hearing monitoring for thepatients with cystic fibrosis, who have been treated with ototoxic antibiotics.
