This study aims to comprehend the experience of hearing screening in children with suspected hearing loss at a tertiary care centre of eastern Uttar Pradesh, India using distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) as a screening modality. This study was conducted at a tertiary care centre of eastern Uttar Pradesh during the period of July, 2021to June, 2022 consisting of 96 children who were referred with suspected hearing loss. They underwent distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAE) testing. Out of 96 children who underwent DPOAE testing, 25 (26.04%) passed the test, 55(57.29%) had "refer" result in bilateral ears whereas 16 (16.67%) had "refer" result in either ear. OAE is a simple, cost-effective and convenient tool for hearing screening in spite of some limitations. Universal new-born hearing screening can be implemented using OAE.
本研究旨在了解在印度北方邦东部一家三级医疗中心，使用畸变产物耳声发射（DPOAE）作为筛查方式，对疑似听力损失儿童进行听力筛查的经验。本研究于2021年7月至2022年6月期间在北方邦东部的一家三级医疗中心进行，研究对象为96名因疑似听力损失而被转诊的儿童。他们接受了畸变产物耳声发射（DPOAE）测试。在接受DPOAE测试的96名儿童中，25名（26.04%）通过了测试，55名（57.29%）双耳测试结果为“转诊”，16名（16.67%）单耳测试结果为“转诊”。尽管存在一些局限性，但耳声发射是一种用于听力筛查的简单、经济高效且便捷的工具。可以使用耳声发射实施普遍的新生儿听力筛查。
