Abstract: Pediatric patients offer a variety of challenging and unique situations. They are constantly changing developmentally, requiring audiologists to constantly adapt. Individualized evaluation and treatment strategies are required not solely for each patient, but each appointment with that patient. During this pediatric grand rounds presentation, we will share four unique pediatric cases involving various causes of hearing loss, diagnostic strategies, treatment options, and the flexibility required along the way.

Learning Objectives:

Identify diagnostic characteristics of multiple syndromes, including auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder (ANSD), and factors to consider when supporting medically complex patients and their families.
Discuss the implications of Enlarged Vestibular Aquaduct Syndrome (EVAS) when addressing hearing loss in children.
Describe the presentations of hearing loss associated with congenital Cytomeglovirus (cCMV) and feel encouraged to spread awareness to professionals and legislative groups.
