Abstract: Objective To investigate the results of hearing screening in newborns and infants so as to explore the appropriate clinical strategy of hearing screening among newborns and infants. Methods Transiently evoked otoacoustic emission(TEOAE) was used to examine the hearing of newborns and infants. Those who fail the initial screening underwent secondary screening with TEOAE. Acoustic brain-stem response(ABR) was used to monitor the hearing of those who failed the secondary screening. Results A total of 6 150 infants were taken hearing screening but only 5 597(91%) passed the first screen,A total of 103 newborns were hearing screening but only 93(90. 29%)for the first screen. Conclusion Hearing screening in the procedure with TEOAE helps identify infants with hearing loss as early as possible so as to conduct appropriate intervention and pormote development of speech and language.
