Pediatric hearing loss is a serious disorder, which often leads to disability and goes beyond the field of otology. Prognosis of pediatric hearing loss might contribute to its early detection and prevention. Since auditory analyzer impairment may be caused by various unfavorable factors during the ante-, intra- and postnatal periods, the first stage of prognosis relates to highlighting the most significant predisposing factor of hearing loss in children. The audiological examination was carried out by recording the brainstem auditory evoked potentials at the Republican Center of Audiology, Institute of Mother and Child. The study included 110 children (study group) with a variety of neurological disorders and sensorineural hearing impairment and 30 children (control group) with normal hearing. The advantages of this study are to provide possible prognostic data for sensorineural hearing loss in children, which will improve to some extent the situation regarding this pathology.
