Hearing Screening and Follow-up of High Risk Infant / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the hearing screening, and the change and outcome of hearing impairment of high risk infants. Meth-ods From March, 2015 to March, 2016, 336 high risk infants were screened with otoacoustic emissions (OAE), auditory brainstem response (ABR) and brainstem auditory evoked-potential (BAEP) 0-1, 3, 6, 12 months after born, respectively. Results Among the 336 high risk in-fants, 29 failed the examinations within the 1st month, 37 cases failed in the 3rd month, 27 cases recovered in the 9th month, and 7 cases re-covered in the 12th month, 3 cases were finally diagnosed as deafness (0.89%). Conclusion OAE, ABR combining with BAEP examination may obtain comprehensive diagnosis of hearing impairment for high risk infants, continuous listening comprehension monitoring can effec-tively dynamically observe the hearing impairment, changes and outcome of high risk infants.
