Hearing loss is one of the most common congenital disorders. The Early Diagnosis and Intervention Process is designed for the early diagnosis and intervention of hearing loss in infants. The present study aimed to examine the results of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) in northeastern Iran from 2005 to 2019.
Northeastern Iran.
In most cases, the two-stage protocol (otoacoustic emissions [OAE] and automated auditory brainstem response [AABR]) has been used. Infant assessment methods included the use of OAE, ABR, auditory steady-state response, high-frequency tympanometry, and behavioral audiometry. Interventions included medical interventions, hearing rehabilitation, hearing aids, and cochlear implants.
1,162,821 infants were screened. The screening coverage increased from less than 1% in 2005 to about 99% in 2018. The referral rate has been about 1%. 2.17 out of every 1000 infants are hearing impaired, and the most common cases are bilateral hearing loss and mild to moderate hearing loss.
During 2005 to 2019 the coverage rate reached to more than 95% of live births. To improve the EHDI process in this population, better follow-up of diagnosed neonates and expansion of diagnostic and intervention services are needed.

在大多数情况下,采用两阶段方案(耳声发射[OAE]和自动听性脑干反应[AABR])。婴儿评估方法包括使用OAE、ABR、听觉稳态反应、高频鼓室图和行为测听法。干预措施包括医学干预、听力康复、助听器和人工耳蜗植入。
对1,162,821名婴儿进行了筛查。筛查覆盖率从2005年的不到1%增至2018年的约99%。转诊率约为1%。每1000名婴儿中有2.17名听力受损,最常见的情况是双侧听力损失以及轻度至中度听力损失。
在2005年至2019年期间,覆盖率达到活产儿的95%以上。为改善该人群的EHDI流程,需要对已诊断新生儿进行更好的随访,并扩大诊断和干预服务。
