Results:
Six children (33.3%) had normal hearing thresholds and the remaining (66.7%) had some degree
of hearing loss. There was no significant relationship (r=-0.28, P=0.09) between the mean total
bilirubin levels and behavioral hearing thresholds in all samples. A transient evoked emission was
seen only in children with normal hearing thresholds however in eight cases brainstem evoked
responses had not detected.
