Auditory brain stem response (ABR) testing can provide valuable information about hearing in neonates. However, it is subject to a number of interpretive errors, not all of which have yet been resolved. Collapsing ear canals are one of these, as this report documents. We hypothesize that the quite common incidence of canal collapse in this age group, along with other transient conductive defects, may help to explain the 1:10 and 1:20 incidences of significantly abnormal ABRs in neonatal screening.
听觉脑干反应（ABR）测试可为新生儿听力提供有价值的信息。然而，该测试存在一些解释错误，其中并非所有错误都已得到解决。耳道塌陷就是其中之一，本报告对此进行了记录。我们推测，这一年龄组中耳道塌陷的常见发生率以及其他短暂性传导缺陷，可能有助于解释新生儿筛查中ABR显著异常的发生率为1:10和1:20的原因。
