ABSTRACT

Methods:

53 healthy infants without any risk factors were enrolled in this study. Group 1 consisted 23 infants fed only with breast milk; group 2 consisted 19 infants fed with breast milk and formula; group 3 consisted 11 infants fed with only formula. When the infants were 6 months old, Ear Nose and Throat examinations were done and the infants with outer and middle ear pathologies were excluded. Signal to noise ratio (SNR) values of the infants at 1000 Hz, 1500 Hz, 2000 Hz, 3000 Hz and 4000 Hz were measured with Transient Evoked Otoacoustics Emission (TEOAE) test.

Introductıon:

This research aims to assess cochlear functions of the healthy and term infants as to different type of nutrition. Three groups are formed as breastfed only, breastfed with formula and formula only baby food during 6 months.

Dıscussion and Conclusion:

According to our study, there are no difference of cochlear functions of breast milk only, breast milk with formula, and formula only fed infants after six months.

Results:

There were no significant difference of TE-OAE values in all evaluated frequencies between the infants who fed with breast milk only, breast milk and formula, and formula only (p>0,05).
