    This study screened 3,507 at-risk neonates for hearing loss. No sensorineural hearing impairment was detected in any neonates during the screening program.

    Area of Science:

    • Neonatal care
    • Audiology
    • Public health

    Background:

    • Early detection of hearing impairment in neonates is crucial for developmental outcomes.
    • Risk stratification aids in identifying infants requiring auditory screening.
    • King George V Memorial Hospital implemented a hearing screening program for at-risk neonates.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the prevalence of sensorineural hearing impairment in at-risk neonates.
    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a neonatal hearing screening program.
    • To identify neonates requiring further audiological follow-up.

    Main Methods:

    • A six-year prospective study involving 3,507 neonates at King George V Memorial Hospital.
    • Hearing screening was conducted on neonates identified as being at risk for deafness.

  • Initial screening in nurseries followed by a later, more comprehensive test for non-responders.

    • Main Results:

    • 144 neonates initially failed to respond during nursery screenings.
    • 88 of these neonates were cleared upon re-testing.
    • No sensorineural impairment of hearing was detected in any of the screened neonates.

    Conclusions:

    • The implemented neonatal hearing screening program identified no cases of sensorineural hearing impairment in the at-risk population.
    • Further follow-up was not possible for some neonates who were lost to follow-up or outside the neonatal period.
    • The study suggests a low prevalence of detectable sensorineural hearing impairment in this specific at-risk neonatal cohort.
