The detection of hearing impairment in neonatal life and prompt intervention prevents the hazards of physical and developmental delay in speech. During a 12-month period between April 1987 and March 1988, the hearing of 151 well babies and 30 high-risk babied aged 6 to 12 months attending the pediatric clinics of King Fahd Hospital of the University (KFHU), Al-Khobar, were screened. The modified Ewing-Stykar test was performed on all babies. Tympanometry, stapedial reflex, and brainstem evoked response (BERA) were carried out in the well babies who failed the screening test and in all high-risk babies. The failure rate was found to be 4.6% and 43.3% and the validity index 71.4% and 92.3% for the well and high-risk babies, respectively. The results of this limited study encourages us to recommend the implementation of this screening test in all the well baby and the high-risk baby clinics in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
新生儿期听力障碍的检测及及时干预可预防身体发育迟缓及言语发育迟缓的危害。在1987年4月至1988年3月的12个月期间，对在胡拜尔法赫德国王大学医院（KFHU）儿科诊所就诊的151名6至12个月的健康婴儿和30名高危婴儿进行了听力筛查。对所有婴儿进行了改良的尤因-斯蒂卡尔测试。对筛查测试未通过的健康婴儿和所有高危婴儿进行了鼓室图、镫骨肌反射和脑干诱发电位（BERA）检查。结果发现，健康婴儿和高危婴儿的未通过率分别为4.6%和43.3%，有效指数分别为71.4%和92.3%。这项有限研究的结果鼓励我们建议在沙特阿拉伯王国的所有健康婴儿和高危婴儿诊所实施这项筛查测试。
