Within the last 20 years, infant hearing screening has progressed from a laudable goal to a state-mandated reality in many areas of the United States. The high risk register provides a means by which history and neonatal physical examination can be used to identify the infant at risk for hearing loss. Two procedures (crib-O-gram and auditory brainstem-evoked response) have been the most common methods of screening for hearing loss in the newborn or in intensive care nurseries. Evoked cochlear emissions reportedly are identifiable in 90 to 100% of normal-hearing infants. This observation has lead to the use of evoked otoacoustic emissions as a hearing screening procedure with infants.
在过去20年里，婴儿听力筛查在美国许多地区已从一个值得称赞的目标发展成为一项州强制实施的现实举措。高危登记册提供了一种手段，通过它可以利用病史和新生儿体格检查来识别有听力损失风险的婴儿。两种方法（婴儿发育图表和听觉脑干诱发反应）一直是新生儿或重症监护病房中筛查听力损失最常用的方法。据报道，90%至100%听力正常的婴儿可检测到诱发耳蜗发射。这一观察结果促使人们将诱发耳声发射用作婴儿听力筛查程序。
