Newborn hearing screening using auditory brainstem response (ABR) is effective, but follow-up services need development. A parent questionnaire revealed insights for improving infant hearing loss identification and care.

Area of Science:

  • Audiology
  • Pediatrics
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Newborn hearing screening programs are crucial for early identification of infant hearing loss.
  • Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) is the standard measurement tool for high-risk infants.
  • Existing programs often lack robust follow-up services, hindering comprehensive care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness of follow-up measures in newborn hearing screening programs.
  • To evaluate parental/caregiver engagement in follow-up services.
  • To identify areas for improvement in program development and infant hearing loss management.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was administered to parents/caregivers of 401 infants who passed an ABR screen.
  • The study analyzed responses from 262 (65%) returned questionnaires.

  • The focus was on understanding experiences and needs related to hearing screening follow-up.

    • Main Results:

    • A 65% response rate was achieved from parents/caregivers regarding follow-up services.
    • The study gathered valuable data on parental perspectives on hearing screening follow-up.
    • Results highlight the need for enhanced program development and support.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective newborn hearing screening requires strong follow-up services beyond initial testing.
    • Parental feedback is essential for refining and improving hearing screening programs.
    • Further development of follow-up protocols is recommended to ensure optimal outcomes for infants with hearing loss.
