Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To identify the newborns who should receive hearing evaluation by hearing screening in high risk newborns; to find and confirm the high risk factors of hearing disorders in high risk newborns.
METHOD:The first screening was performed by DPOAE. Newborns did not passed the first screening undertook second screening using DPOAE + ABR. and newborns did not passed the second screening received hearing evaluation. High risk factors of hearing loss were found by Logistic regression analysis.
RESULT:Three hundred and twenty-seven cases were screened. The positive ratio in first screening was 37.0%. The positive ratio in second screening was 11.0%. Ten cases were diagnosed as hearing loss and the incidence of hearing loss was 3.39%. High risk factors of hearing loss were asphyxiation, very low born weight (<1,500 g) and head and neck abnormality.
CONCLUSION:(1) DPOAE combined with ABR is credible and feasible in hearing screening of high risk newborns. (2) High risk factors of hearing loss were asphyxiation, very low born weight (<1,500 g) and head and neck abnormality in this study.
