Selective hearing screening for young children

J S Palfrey, M A Hanson, C Pleszczynska

    Clinical Pediatrics
    |July 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    A selective hearing screening program identified children at risk for hearing loss. Nearly 30% of evaluated preschoolers had documented hearing issues, particularly those with ear infections or parental concern.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Audiology
    • Early Childhood Education

    Background:

    • Early identification of hearing loss is crucial for child development.
    • Risk factors for hearing impairment in young children include recurrent ear infections and parental/staff concerns.
    • A selective screening approach targets children most likely to have hearing deficits.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a selective hearing screening program in a preschool setting.
    • To determine the prevalence of hearing loss among preschoolers identified as 'at risk'.

    Main Methods:

    • A selective hearing screening program was implemented in an early education project.
    • Children were identified as 'at risk' based on Joint Committee on Infant Hearing Screening criteria, recurrent ear infections, or concern.
    • Eligible children (31% of 228) were referred for full audiological evaluation; 45 children participated.

    Main Results:

    • Twenty-nine percent of the children who underwent full evaluation had documented hearing loss.
    • Children with recurrent ear infections showed a 42% rate of abnormal hearing.
    • Children with parental or staff concern had the highest yield of abnormal hearing at 71%.

    Conclusions:

    • A selective hearing screening program is effective in identifying preschoolers with hearing loss.
    • Preschoolers with recurrent ear infections or parental/staff concern represent high-yield groups for hearing screening.
    • Targeted audiological evaluations are essential for early detection and intervention of hearing impairments in young children.
