Since 1998, after we started the support group for neonatal hearing screening, many other hearing screening programs were held in Brazil. In Alagoas, the first program started in 2003, but none of its results were published. Hearing is paramount for human communication; therefore, childhood hearing loss can impair speech acquisition, emotional, educational and social development.
to present the results achieved in a neonatal hearing screening program in Maceió.
a retrospective analytical study was carried out in order to study the results from tests carried out from September 2003 to December 2006 in a private hospital of Maceió.
from a total of 2002 newborns, 1,626 fitted the inclusion criteria, 835 (51.4%) males. The hearing screening was considered appropriate in 1416 cases (87.1%), and the most frequently found age was between 16 and 30 days. Finally, 163 (10.0%) children presented risk indicators for hearing loss, and hyperbilirubinemia was the most common indicator.
statistical results obtained from this hearing screening program show the importance of holding such programs. This study is important because it contributes to further regional or multinational studies.
自 1998 年我们启动新生儿听力筛查支持小组以来，巴西已开展了许多其他听力筛查项目。在阿拉戈斯州，第一个项目于 2003 年启动，但没有公布任何结果。听力对人类交流至关重要；因此，儿童听力损失会影响言语习得、情感、教育和社会发展。
介绍马塞约新生儿听力筛查计划取得的成果。
对马塞约一家私立医院 2003 年 9 月至 2006 年 12 月进行的测试结果进行回顾性分析研究。
共筛查 2002 名新生儿，符合纳入标准的有 1626 名，男婴 835 名（51.4%）。1416 例（87.1%）听力筛查结果合适，最常见的筛查年龄在 16 至 30 天之间。最终，有 163 例（10.0%）儿童存在听力损失风险指标，最常见的指标是高胆红素血症。
该听力筛查计划的统计结果表明开展此类项目的重要性。本研究很重要，因为它有助于开展进一步的区域性或跨国研究。
