[Research progress on the etiology of delayed-onset hearing loss in children].

Newborn hearing screening is an effective method for early detection of hearing loss, however, it is not able to detect delayed-onset hearing loss. By exploring the etiology of delayed-onset hearing loss in children, it can provide a clinical basis for early detection of delayed-onset hearing loss. Mutations in SLC26A4, mitochondrial, GJB2 and other genes, enlarged vestibular aqueduct, congenital cytomegalovirus infection, extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, and auditory neuropathy et al were more commonly reported risk factors. In this paper, the risk factors related to delayed-onset hearing loss, which are divided into 5 categories: genetic mutation, abnormal inner ear malformation, perinatal factors, auditory neuropathy and no identifiable cause, are reviewed and analyzed.
