To establish the reliability and validity of an automated hearing screening test system for children.
Cross-sectional within a comparative study of subjects.
Subjects were 325 first-grade and second-grade children (6-10 years old) from primary schools in Shenzhen, China.
Using the conventional pure-tone screening test with the pass/refer criterion set as 25 dB HL, as the 'gold standard", the sensitivity and specificity of the automated hearing screening test was 0.63 and 0.82, respectively. No specific pattern in the failure rates was observed to relate to the students' grade. There was no statistically significant age effect or gender effect.
The results suggest that with further improvement in terms of its sensitivity and specificity, it may be feasible to use the automated hearing screening test system to conduct routine school hearing screenings.
建立儿童自动听力筛查测试系统的可靠性和有效性。
在受试者的对比研究中进行横断面研究。
研究对象为中国深圳小学一、二年级的 325 名儿童（6-10 岁）。
以传统的纯音筛查测试为“金标准”，将通过/转诊标准设置为 25dBHL，其自动听力筛查测试的灵敏度和特异性分别为 0.63 和 0.82。未观察到与学生年级相关的特定失败率模式。年龄和性别均无统计学显著影响。
研究结果表明，随着其灵敏度和特异性的进一步提高，使用自动听力筛查测试系统进行常规学校听力筛查可能是可行的。
