Hearing

When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Area of Science:

Audiology
Public Health
Pediatrics

Background:

The Avon Area Health Authority was an early adopter of universal newborn hearing screening in the UK.
Assessing the effectiveness and impact of this screening program is crucial for optimizing pediatric audiological care.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the outcomes of the Avon universal newborn hearing screening program.
To evaluate the program's impact on other services, such as cochlear implantation.
To assess the long-term results for children identified through screening.

Main Methods:

Analysis of data from the Avon universal newborn hearing screening program.
Inclusion of children identified between April 2002 and July 2006.

Main Results:

54 children with bilateral hearing impairment (>40 dBHL) were identified from approximately 44,000 screened infants.
Seven children received cochlear implants, with nine initially considered.
13 children were diagnosed with potential auditory neuropathy or dys-synchrony.

Conclusions:

The universal newborn hearing screening program in Avon proved effective.
Further review of specific aspects may be necessary to enhance patient care and outcomes.
