Hearing screening for early detection of deafness in children was carried out in the Jerusalem area during 5 years (1967-1972). Approximately 27,000 infants 5-7 months old, representing 85% of the children population at this age, were screened in baby clinics and a selective 'at risk' register was applied to them. Testing hearing in baby clinics was easy to implement and economical but not infallible. About 50% of the 43 hearing-impaired children were identified during the 1st year of their life at an audiology center. A careful and efficient screening and follow-up could identify 70% of the deaf children. We recommend to apply the hearing screening and selective 'at risk' register to children 7-10 months old. It is suggested to expand hearing screening to 2- to 3-year-old children.
1967年至1972年的5年间，耶路撒冷地区开展了针对儿童耳聋早期检测的听力筛查。约27000名5至7个月大的婴儿接受了筛查，占该年龄段儿童总数的85%，这些婴儿均来自婴儿诊所，并被纳入了一个选择性的“高危”登记册。在婴儿诊所进行听力测试易于实施且经济实惠，但并非万无一失。在43名听力受损儿童中，约50%是在其1岁时于听力中心被确诊的。细致高效的筛查及后续跟进能够识别出70%的失聪儿童。我们建议对7至10个月大的儿童进行听力筛查并应用选择性“高危”登记册。建议将听力筛查扩展至2至3岁的儿童。
