“…All affected cases in our study were delivered by C.S. This agrees with Smolkin et al, 4 as they found that birth by C.S. was associated with significantly higher rates of failure on first hearing screening in neonates up to 47 hours of age.…”

“…3 The importance of universal early screening, diagnosis, and intervention in reducing the negative impact of congenital hearing loss has been described extensively worldwide. 4 According to the Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH 2019), one of the greatest risk groups is neonates who spend time in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), prone to high-frequency ventilation, hyperbilirubinemia, low birth weight, and ototoxic medications. 5 The present research has been conducted to estimate the incidence of neonatal hearing loss in high-risk neonates admitted to NICU in Aswan University hospital and to evaluate the different risk factors associated with HL.…”

Objectives: One of the most significant risk groups for hearing loss is neonates who spend time in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of hearing loss in all neonates admitted to our hospital NICU and evaluate their risk factors. It is a prospective cross-sectional study conducted on all neonates admitted to our hospital in one year. Patients and methods: All Neonates were subjected to history, clinical, Otoscopic examination, and Oto-acoustic emissions test. Neonates with congenital ear anomalies or ear problems that interfere with the screening test were excluded. Results: 90.6% of cases passed the test, and 9.4% had a Refer result in the initial screening. A repeated test for the referral cases showed 6.7% passed and 2.7% had hearing affection (2% bilateral and 0.7 % unilateral). Conclusions: The prevalence of hearing loss was 2.7%, 2 % had bilateral hearing affection, and 0.7 % had unilateral hearing affection. There was a significant correlation between exposures to certain risk factors among the affected neonates; all cases remained more than 5 days in NICU with history of exposure to ototoxic drugs, especially gentamycin, furosemide, vancomycin, and amikacin.

“…During 2003–2013, the following three major initiatives supported by the Bureau of Health Promotion were introduced to promote UNHS in Taiwan: (1) the establishment of “2004 The Guidance of Newborn Hearing Screening” (using otoacoustic emissions [OAE] or automated auditory brainstem response [AABR] examination, the expense of which was to be borne by the parents); (2) the establishment of “2008 Taiwan Newborn Hearing Screening Consensus Document” (using AABR examination, the expense of which was to be borne by the parents), which has three major goals, namely achieving a screening rate of >95%, a referral rate of <4%, and a diagnostic follow-up rate of >70%[ 6 ]; and (3) the establishment of “2014 Taiwan Newborn Hearing Screening Consensus Document”(a screening rate of >95%, a referral rate of < 2%, and a diagnostic follow-up rate of > 95%)[ 7 ] and the implementation of a free national UNHS program UNHS in 2012 (using only AABR examination to concisely reduce false-positive and false-negative findings; the costs of AABR examination are borne by the government, and the examination is therefore free of cost for parents). The age of identification and diagnosis of as well as interventions for congenital hearing-impaired children have decreased gradually since the government established the newborn hearing screening program in Taiwan[ 5 ].…”

ObjectivesTo determine whether newborn hearing screening in a well-baby nursery (WBN) and neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) nursery: 1) meet three targeted, screening, referral, and diagnostic follow-up rates; 2) compare the average age of diagnosis for infants admitted to the WIN and NICU; and 3) determine prevalence of hearing loss in neonatal population; and 4) try to find a practical newborn hearing screening time algorithm to reduce refer rate in NICUMaterials and MethodsIt examined 15,624 newborns in the WBN (13,676) and NICU (1948) screened for congenital HL using AABR. The variables analyzed in it were the screening rate, referral rate, follow-up rate, diagnostic rate and diagnostic age, prevalence rate, degrees of congenital bilateral HL. The study was approved by the hospital’s institutional review board (13MMHISO23).ResultsThe screening rates were 99.8% and 99.6% in the WBN and NICU groups, respectively, without significant difference. The referral rates were 0.7% and 2.8% in the WBN and NICU groups, with significant difference. Furthermore, the diagnostic follow-up rates were 76.7% and 89.1% in the WBN and NICU groups, without significant difference. The average initial diagnostic ages were 1.9 months and 3.8 months in the WBN and NICU groups, with significant difference. The prevalence of congenital bilateral hearing loss were 0.27% and 1.6% in the WBN and NICU groups, with significant difference.ConclusionThe screening, referral and follow-up rate in the WBN and NICU groups were equivalent to the quality indicators. For NICU group, screening and diagnostic follow up were performed later than those in WBN group; however the lower referral rate in our NICU group was successfully achieved in this study and can be applied clinically. The prevalence of congenital bilateral hearing loss was higher in the NICU group than in the WBN group.

“…Tone identification benefits were reported for both hearing aid and CI users who speak Mandarin ( Li et al., 2014a , Li et al., 2014b ), though poorer tone perception in implanted children compared to normal hearing peers was found even 3 years after the implantation ( Chen et al., 2014 ). Other groups of researchers outside Mainland China also investigated language skills ( Lin et al., 2011 , Wu et al., 2011 ), reading ( Wu et al., 2015a , Wu et al., 2015b , Wu et al., 2015b ), written language skills ( Wu et al., 2015a , Wu et al., 2015b , Wu et al., 2015b ), behavior and attention outcome ( Chao et al., 2015 ) in Mandarin speaking CI children in regions other than Mainland China.…”

Current trends in outcome studies for children with hearing loss and the need to establish a comprehensive framework of measuring outcomes in children with hearing loss in China

Since the 1970s, outcome studies for children with hearing loss expanded from focusing on assessing auditory awareness and speech perception skills to evaluating language and speech development. Since the early 2000s, the multi-center large scale research systematically studied outcomes in the areas of auditory awareness, speech-perception, language development, speech development, educational achievements, cognitive development, and psychosocial development. These studies advocated the establishment of baseline and regular follow-up evaluations with a comprehensive framework centered on language development. Recent research interests also include understanding the vast differences in outcomes for children with hearing loss, understanding the relationships between neurocognitive development and language acquisition in children with hearing loss, and using outcome studies to guide evidence-based clinical practice. After the establishment of standardized Mandarin language assessments, outcomes research in Mainland China has the potential to expand beyond auditory awareness and speech perception studies.
