Abstract
We evaluated 50 infants who were referred to our center for advanced hearing tests after neonatal hearing screening between April 2005 and March 2006. Conditioned orientation reflex (COR), distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE), auditory brain stem response (ABR) and auditory steady-state response (ASSR) were used for precise diagnosis.<br>The results were as follows: 22 infants had bilateral hearing impairment, 19 infants had unilateral hearing impairment, and 9 infants had normal hearing. The average age at the start of use of a hearing aid was 6 months in the infants with severe hearing loss, 8.2 months in infants with moderate hearing loss, and 8 months in children with mild hearing loss.<br>Eary identification of hearing impairment is important for language development. In this investigation, a prompt diagnosis could be made in infants with severe hearing loss, who were then immediately prescribed appropriate hearing aids. On the other hand, detection of mild or moderate hearing impairment was difficult and sometimes the hearing thresholds changed, with time. Thus, attention must be paid to all infants detected to have problem hearing during neonatal hearing screening, as these infants may need to be followed up for a long period of time.
