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:

  • Public Health
  • Pediatrics
  • Audiology

Background:

  • The Newborn Hearing Screening (NHS) program was established in Jordan in 2021.
  • No prior studies have evaluated the effectiveness of this national program.
  • Assessing program outcomes is crucial for public health initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness and outcomes of the NHS program in Jordan.
  • To determine program coverage, referral, and loss to follow-up rates.
  • To analyze the hearing status of newborns undergoing diagnostic assessment.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective cross-sectional study design was employed.
  • Data were collected from live births in Ministry of Health hospitals in Jordan between July 2021 and November 2023.
  • Key metrics included screening coverage, referral rates, and confirmed hearing loss diagnoses.

Main Results:

  • Screening coverage reached 99.4% (25,682 out of 25,825 newborns).
  • A referral rate of 0.7% was observed, with 31.7% of referred infants diagnosed with hearing loss.
  • The prevalence of congenital hearing loss was 0.14%, with a mean identification age of 11 months.

Conclusions:

  • The NHS program in Jordan demonstrates promising outcomes and meets key benchmarks set by the Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH).
  • Strategies to reduce delays in hearing loss identification require further investigation.
  • The program's success highlights the importance of early hearing detection and intervention.
