METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS IN CHILDREN IN THE ACUTE PERIOD OF PURULENT MENINGITIS Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A61B5/12 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine, namely neurology, and can be used to diagnose sensorineural hearing loss in children in the acute period of purulent meningitis. Clinical and neurological examination and registration of brainstem auditory evoked responses are carried out. The threshold of visualization of the V peak is determined. When visualizing the V peak with 80 dB stimulation, the I-II degree of hearing loss is diagnosed, when visualizing the V peak with 100 dB stimulation, the III-IV degree of hearing loss is diagnosed, in the absence of visualization of the V peak with 100 dB stimulation, deafness is diagnosed.

EFFECT: method provides diagnostic accuracy, as well as a reduction in examination time due to one-stage registration of brainstem auditory evoked responses and determination of the visualization threshold of the V peak.
