The incidence of hearing impairment in high risk infants is summarized for five programs which use brainstem electric response audiometry (BERA) to detect hearing loss in this population. Programs are compared with respect to the following variables which may affect reported incidence figures: population characteristics, stimulus and recording parameters, criteria for failure on the initial BERA test, and follow-up protocols. Between 10-30% of these infants fail an initial BERA test, with initial failure rate largely dependent on the failure criteria used. Approximately 10% will continue to show some degree of hearing impairment on follow-up tests at 2-5 months of age. Between 2-4% will have a moderate to profound bilateral sensorineural hearing loss requiring amplification and habilitation.
总结了五个项目中高危婴儿听力障碍的发生率，这些项目使用脑干电反应测听法（BERA）来检测该人群中的听力损失。就以下可能影响报告发病率数据的变量对各项目进行了比较：人群特征、刺激和记录参数、初始BERA测试失败的标准以及随访方案。这些婴儿中有10%-30%在初始BERA测试中失败，初始失败率在很大程度上取决于所使用的失败标准。大约10%的婴儿在2-5个月大的随访测试中仍会表现出某种程度的听力障碍。2%-4%的婴儿将患有中度至重度双侧感音神经性听力损失，需要进行听力放大和康复治疗。
