1707L - Audiological Evaluation and Management of Children With Congenital CMV

This session is developed by, and presenters invited by, Hearing, Balance, Tinnitus – Assessment and Intervention: Pediatrics. Maternal infection with CMV may affect fetal health in many areas including the auditory system. CMV is estimated to account for a quarter of congenital non-genetic hearing losses. This session will review the audiological profile of children with CMV-related hearing loss and considerations for audiological intervention including aural habilitation. We will include case studies to demonstrate the variability among this population and how their progress was managed at Boston Children’s Hospital.
