Jacobson and Jacobson (Int. J. Pediatr. Otorhinolaryngol. 29 (1994) 235-248) recently questioned whether TEOAE-based newborn hearing screening similar to what was recommended by the National Institutes of Health could be implemented in a typical nursery setting. They concluded that, 'the theoretical advantage of TEOAEs as a method for screening newborn babies at risk for hearing loss may not be realized in acute practice.' This article presents data based on dozens of currently operational TEOAE-based newborn hearing screening programs which demonstrate that the concerns raised by Jacobson and Jacobson are not representative of what is being experienced by operational newborn hearing screening programs.
雅各布森夫妇(《国际儿科耳鼻咽喉科学杂志》29卷,第235 - 248页,1994年)最近质疑,类似于美国国立卫生研究院所推荐的基于瞬态诱发耳声发射(TEOAE)的新生儿听力筛查,能否在典型的新生儿护理环境中实施。他们得出结论:“TEOAE作为一种筛查有听力损失风险新生儿的方法,其理论优势在实际操作中可能无法实现。”本文展示了基于目前数十个正在运行的TEOAE新生儿听力筛查项目的数据,这些数据表明雅各布森夫妇所提出的担忧并不代表实际运行的新生儿听力筛查项目所面临的情况。
