Summary

Implementing universal newborn hearing screening using transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) reduced missed screenings and follow-ups. This program effectively identifies congenital hearing loss in newborns.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Neonatal care
  • Public health

Background:

  • Iaso maternity hospital implemented a universal newborn hearing screening program using transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs).
  • A pilot study preceded the program's establishment.
  • The program aimed to improve outcomes by comparing successive newborn groups.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a universal newborn hearing screening program.
  • To compare outcome measures between two distinct screening periods.
  • To identify improvements in screening and follow-up rates.

Main Methods:

  • Data from two groups of full-term newborns were analyzed.
  • The first group (3 years) and second group (2 years) were screened using TEOAEs.

  • Newborns failing initial tests received repeat TEOAEs; those with absent emissions were referred for follow-up.

    • Main Results:

    • The first group included 22,195 newborns; the second included 25,032.
    • Refer rates decreased from 3.1% to 2.1%.
    • The 'missed to follow-up' rate significantly reduced from 72.2% to 58.2%.

    Conclusions:

    • Modifications to the screening protocol reduced the rates of missed screenings and follow-ups.
    • Universal newborn hearing screening is a feasible method for identifying congenital hearing loss.
    • The program demonstrates cost-effectiveness in early detection of hearing impairment.
