Objectives: To investigate the overall prevalence of cochlear dead regions in children with moderate to severe sensorineural hearing impairment. Methods: Threshold-equalizing noise (or TEN) test was administered on thirty sensorineural hearing impaired children (8 girls, 22 boys), aged 5-14 years (mean ± SD. 8.5. ±. 2.8). Results: Classifying by subject, 76 tested positive for cochlear dead regions in one or both ears at least at one frequency. Classifying by ears, 58.3 had dead regions at one frequency or more. Classifying by the number of frequencies were tested, 20 met the criteria for a dead region. The difference between mean absolute thresholds in two groups was statistically significant at 1000. Hz and below (p< 0.05). Conclusion: The results indicated a relatively high prevalence of dead regions in children with sensory neural hearing impairment, especially for frequencies at which the hearing loss exceeds 70. dB HL. © 2015 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
