Hearing impairment is prevalent in the general population, early intervention facilitates proper development. The aim of this study was to establish the prevalence of hearing impairment in high-risk infants born between 2013 and 2014. 100 newborns were evaluated using evoked otoacoustic emissions and distortion produce and auditory behavior. Tests were reported if the results were altered. If altered results persisted, the child was referred for impedance testing and when necessary for medical evaluation. Infants referred for BOA and OAE undergone Brainstem auditory evoked potential testing. Of 100 children, 85 children have hearing within normal limits. Hearing impairment was found in 15 out of which 7 had unilateral hearing loss and 8 had bilateral hearing loss. The high prevalence of hearing impairment in this population underlines the importance of early audiological testing.
听力障碍在普通人群中很普遍,早期干预有助于正常发育。本研究的目的是确定2013年至2014年出生的高危婴儿中听力障碍的患病率。使用诱发耳声发射、畸变产物耳声发射和听觉行为对100名新生儿进行了评估。如果结果异常,则报告测试情况。如果异常结果持续存在,该儿童将被转诊进行阻抗测试,并在必要时进行医学评估。被转诊进行脑干听觉诱发电位测试的婴儿接受了脑干听觉诱发电位测试。在100名儿童中,85名儿童听力正常。发现15名儿童有听力障碍,其中7名单侧听力损失,8名双侧听力损失。该人群中听力障碍的高患病率凸显了早期听力测试的重要性。
