An automated hearing screening technique for newborns

W H McFarland, F B Simmons, F R Jones

    The Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders
    |November 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    The Crib-o-gram, a newborn hearing screening tool, has been refined to achieve a 93% detection rate in over 12,000 infants. This improved method enhances early identification of hearing loss in newborns.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Audiology
    • Neonatal Care

    Background:

    • Newborn hearing screening is crucial for early detection of hearing loss.
    • The Crib-o-gram, developed by Simmons and Russ in 1974, is a non-invasive screening method.
    • Previous iterations of the Crib-o-gram required further refinement for optimal performance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present follow-up data on the Crib-o-gram hearing screening program at Stanford University Medical Center.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of improvements made to the Crib-o-gram's procedure and scoring.
    • To report the current detection rate of the refined screening technique.

    Main Methods:

    • The study involved over 12,000 newborn infants.
    • Improvements were implemented in the test procedure and scoring methodology of the Crib-o-gram.
    • Follow-up data was collected and analyzed from the screening program.

    Main Results:

    • The Crib-o-gram screening program has tested over 12,000 babies.
    • Refinements in test procedure and scoring have been successfully implemented.
    • The current detection rate for hearing loss using the improved Crib-o-gram is 93%.

    Conclusions:

    • The enhanced Crib-o-gram technique demonstrates a high detection rate for newborn hearing loss.
    • The improvements in the screening protocol have significantly increased its efficacy.
    • The Crib-o-gram is a valuable tool for early identification of hearing impairments in neonates.
