The authors studied different parameters of the hearing test proposed to detect deafness among new-borns. These parameters belong to the technic of the test itself (intensity of stimulus, repetition of the test five minutes later, during the day and the following days, characters of the reactions) and to the infant (gestational age birth weight age, disease). They found that the noise in the resuscitation room and in the usual incubators is high and perhaps injurious. Following their own experience and the results published in France and abroad, they think that the test is difficult and cannot be generalised for the moment to all newborns.
作者们研究了为检测新生儿耳聋而提出的听力测试的不同参数。这些参数属于测试技术本身（刺激强度、五分钟后、当天及随后几天测试的重复、反应特征）以及婴儿自身（胎龄、出生体重、年龄、疾病）。他们发现复苏室和普通保育箱中的噪音很大，可能具有伤害性。根据他们自己的经验以及法国和国外发表的研究结果，他们认为该测试难度较大，目前无法推广至所有新生儿。
