UNIVERSAL NEONATAL HEARING SCREENING PROGRAM IN PONDICHERRY u2013 A SOUTH INDIAN EXPERIENCEObjective: To determine the prevalence of hearing loss among newborn infants and to assess the effectiveness and utility of OAE as a screening tool to detect hearing impairment in newborns and the relationship between selected risk factors and hearing loss. The prevalence of mild to profound hearing loss is reported to be between 0.11% -0.6% worldwide.Study design: This study involved 3121 newborns delivered in a tertiary care centre over 3 year period were subjected to DPOAE within 24 u2013 72 hours of life; failed candidates underwent repeat DPOAE after 30 days. Infants failing the repeat DPOAE underwent DPOAE and BERA at 3 months of life. Results: The total number of newborns included in the study were 3121. All newborns underwent DPOAE. 689(22.08%) newborns failed the first screening test. Among the 689, 598 (86.7%) passed the second DPOAE, 84(12.2%) were referred and 7 did not come for follow up. Among 84, 38(45.23%) passed, 40(47.62%) failed and 6 did not have follow up. 40 underwent BERA in which 21 neonates had hearing loss. Overall, the prevalence of hearing loss in this study was found to be 0.67%.Conclusion: Screening for hearing loss in newborns should be done with a screening test that is simple, cheap, quick, sensitive, efficient, and reliable. Implementation of a national universal newborn hearing screening programme is the need of the hour, as early detection of hearing loss will aid early rehabilitation and better outcomes.

This systematic evidence review updates a prior review for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) on universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) to detect moderate to severe permanent, bilateral congenital hearing loss (PCHL). In 2001, based on results of a prior systematic evidence review, the USPSTF concluded that the evidence was insufficient to recommend for or against routine screening of newborns for PCHL during the postpartum hospitalization (I Recommendation). The USPSTF provided additional specific conclusions about the evidence. They determined that methods of screening using otoacoustic emissions (OAEs) and auditory brainstem response (ABR) are highly accurate for identifying PCHL in newborns, and UNHS leads to earlier identification and treatment of infants with PCHL. They found that evidence was inconclusive regarding whether earlier treatment resulting from newborn screening leads to clinically important improvement in speech and language skills at age 3 years and beyond because existing studies had design limitations. The USPSTF considered that earlier identification and intervention may improve the quality of life during the first year of life, and prevent regret by the family over delayed diagnosis of PCHL, but limited data addressing these benefits existed. They were not able to determine whether potential benefits outweighed the potential harms of false-positive tests. This update focuses on critical evidence gaps that were unresolved at the time of the 2001 recommendation, and utilizes the format and methods of the prior systematic evidence review. The Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JNIH), comprised of representatives from audiology, otolaryngology, pediatrics, education, and state speech and hearing programs, provides position statements and establishes practice standards for early identification, intervention, and follow-up care for infants and young children with hearing loss. According to the JCIH, hearing screening should identify infants at risk for specifically defined hearing loss that interferes with development. The targeted hearing loss for UNHS programs is permanent sensory or conductive hearing loss averaging 30 to 40 decibels (dB) or more in the frequency region important for speech recognition (approximately 500 through 4000 Hertz [Hz]). The focus of UNHS is on congenital as opposed to acquired or progressive hearing loss that may not be detected in the newborn period. The term “hearing impairment” is commonly used outside the U.S. instead of “hearing loss.” This systematic review updates the evidence from the prior 2001 USPSTF review for the following key questions: 1. Among infants identified by UNHS who would not be identified by targeted screening, does initiating treatment prior to age 6 months improve language and communication outcomes? 2. Compared with targeted screening, does UNHS increase the chance that treatment will be initiated by age 6 months for average risk infants? For high risk infants? 3. What are the adverse effects of UNHS and early treatment?

Abstract: Abstract of dissertation entitled Otoacoustic Emissions in Universal Neonatal Hearing Screening: Efficacy of a Combined Stimuli Protocol Submitted by Li Shui Fun for the degree of Master of Science in Audiology at the University of Hong Kong in May 2004 Abstract This study was aimed at investigating the efficacy of click-evoked otoacoustic emissions (CEOAEs) and tone-burst-evoked otoacoustic emissions (TBOAEs) as a combined screening protocol. CEOAEs were widely applied in universal neonatal hearing screening. A lower response was often shown at 1 kHz due to contamination by physiological noise. The neonates with too much physiological noise would thus fail in screening. As an attempt to solve this problem, TBOAEs were introduced. 298 neonates (546 ears) were recruited at the Hong Kong Adventist Hospital. x Both CEOAEs and TBOAEs were performed. Six screening protocols were used in this study. Protocol 1, using CEOAEs only, demonstrated a passing rate of 79.12% and 114 ears were referred. Protocol 2, using CEOAEs together with TBOAEs, frequency centered at 1 kHz, could pass extra 39 ears more than Protocol 1. The referral rate was decreased by 34.21% (39 ears out of 114 ears). Protocol 3, using CEOAEs together with TBOAEs, frequency centered at 2 kHz, showed the passing rate was 79.85%, which passed only 4 ears more compared with Protocol 1. Protocol 4, using CEOAEs together with TBOAEs, frequency centered at 3 kHz, revealed the passing rate was only 79.49%, which were 2 ears more compared with Protocol 1. Protocol 5, using TBOAEs tested at where CEOAEs failed, raised the passing rate from 79.12 to 87.55%. An extra 46 ears were passed and the overall referral rate was reduced by 40.35%. In Protocol 6, neonates being tested by TBOAEs with frequency centered at 1, 2 and 3 kHz, showed the passing rate was 78.39%. It passed 4 ears less compared with Protocol 1. Both Protocol 2 and 5 revealed a higher passing rate than Protocols 1, 3, 4, and 6. Although Protocol 5 illustrated a higher passing rate than Protocol 2, it required skilful and well trained personnel to perform. For Protocol 2, it was simple and straightforward and did not require experienced personnel. In conclusion, Protocol 2 was the preferred screening protocol amongst the six. xi DOI: 10.5353/th_b3104608 Subjects: Otoacoustic emissions Audiometry Hearing disorders in infants - Diagnosis Newborn infants - Medical examinations
