Results: 47 children who had been diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss included in the inclusion criteria. The mean age of children in this study was 3.44 years with male predominance of 55.3%. The most severe degree of hearing loss was found with the percentage of weight (93.6%) in right ear and (89.4%) in left ear.
