dc.description.abstractA descriptive survey research design was used to describe the auditory function of children with tuberculosis (TB) receiving ototoxic medication at Brooklyn Chest Hospital. A battery of audiologic tests (otoscopy, immittance, audiometry or OAE and AABR) were conducted on 29 children, aged 0 to 18 years, and the results were analysed using descriptive statistics and Generalized Linear Models. The results suggest that 55% of children had middle ear abnormality and 48% had hearing loss. The degree of hearing loss ranged from mild to profound in 41 % of the cases while 59% had hearing within the normal range with their loss restricted to high frequencies. No statistically significant associations were found between sex, duration of hospitalization, comorbid presentation of HIV and TB and middle ear abnormality.en_ZA
