The purpose of this retrospective study is to present the clinical experience of a single institution on the recovery of ABR thresholds in a large population of neonates and infants at risk of hearing loss.

Potential prognostic factors associated with this phenomenon were also investigated.

Out of 2248 high risk infants, 384 had abnormal ABR at initial hearing evaluation and 168 of them had absent ABR or a threshold ≥80 dBnHL.

From this subgroup, a significant percentage showed complete or partial recovery on reexamination (32.7% and 9.3%, resp.), performed 4–6 months later.

The presence of normal otoacoustic emissions was associated with the ABR restoration on reexamination.

Moreover, the very young age at the initial hearing screening seems to be related to higher probabilities of false positive ABR.

The potential recovery of hearing in HR infants raises concerns about the very early cochlear implantation in HR infants less than one year.

Such a treatment modality should be decided cautiously and only after obtaining valid and stable objective and subjective hearing thresholds.

This holds especially true for infants showing an auditory neuropathy profile, as they presented a much greater probability of ABR recovery.
