Primary Outcome Measures

Estimate the incidence of hearing loss1 year

will be defined as a \>10 db loss from baseline in any frequency, based on the lower threshold of the American Speech and Hearing Associations (ASHA) hearing change criteria. For children unable to cooperate for an audiogram, the DPOAE will be the primary measurement.
