Résumé
Early identification, treatment, and medical evaluation of childhood hearing loss are essential to promoting language and social development, regardless of their age of presentation. Evaluation of hearing loss in children should prioritize reversible and treatable causes. Multiple algorithms have been established to address the changing prevalence of genetic or infectious contributions to hearing loss and include recommendations on laboratory testing, imaging, and genetic testing. Despite these recommendations, significant practice variation remains on assessing the etiology of hearing loss in children.
