Many methods of screening for hearing impairment are available. The aim of our study was to determine which ones were really used in 1992. At the request of the British Audiology Society, we conducted an inquiry into the organization of screening for deafness in neonates and infants in Europe. In practice all 6-9 month-old infants are tested with behavioural tests in every country. For the neonates, generally only those at risk for hearing-impairment (about 5%) were tested. The most widely used tests were behavioural ones. Only specialized centers used transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs). This last test assesses the active mechanical properties of the cochlea and allows detection of even mild or unilateral sensorineural deafness.
有许多筛查听力障碍的方法。我们研究的目的是确定哪些方法在1992年被实际使用。应英国听力学学会的要求，我们对欧洲新生儿和婴儿耳聋筛查的组织情况进行了调查。实际上，每个国家所有6至9个月大的婴儿都要接受行为测试。对于新生儿，通常只对有听力障碍风险的婴儿（约5%）进行测试。使用最广泛的测试是行为测试。只有专业中心使用瞬态诱发耳声发射（TEOAEs）。最后这项测试评估耳蜗的主动机械特性，甚至能检测出轻度或单侧感音神经性耳聋。
