Results of an Early Hearing Detection Program

Background: Regardless of gestational age, any newborn (NB) with a weight at birth of <1500 g is considered to be of very low birth weight (VLBW). The incidence of hearing loss in this population group is 5-6% but the frequency of moderate or severe hearing loss in children of VLBW is 2%. Material and methods:Retrospective study of 364 NBs with birth weight <1500 g. Two levels of TEOAE screening were conducted, followed by an ABR test if the initial testing was inconclusive. The SPSS statistical software package, version 20.0 for Windows, was used for statistical processing of data. Fisher's Exact Test was used to study possible associations among categorical variables.
