“…Other risk factors, such as admission of a child for > 48 hours to the NICU (15%), were poorly reported in the present study, while in other studies it was one of the most identified factors. 17,22 Few of the respondents (17.5%) identified cleft palate, which was consistent with a previous study by Rogha et al 16 These data indicated that ENT physicians were not well-informed in general as to the factors that put a child at risk of late-onset hearing loss. Knowing such factors and providing continued vigilance in screening, monitoring and referrals are considered vital, particularly for physicians who are mainly responsible for the hearing management of children.…”

“…17 In another study, 99% of the respondents stated that the most common factors were meningitis, family history of hearing loss, and CMV history. 22 What was surprising in our study was that mothers > 40 years old were erroneously identified as the third most important risk factor. Other risk factors, such as admission of a child for > 48 hours to the NICU (15%), were poorly reported in the present study, while in other studies it was one of the most identified factors.…”

“…This could be attributed to their knowledge of the negative consequences that hearing loss has on the language and social development of children, 19,24 and their recognition of the benefits of early detection and intervention programmes. 22 The present study showed that ENT physicians believed that hearing screening could result in excessive anxiety or concern for parents. This response was consistent with that of other healthcare professionals who felt that NHS cause parental anxiety and affected parent-child bonding.…”

“…This response was consistent with that of other healthcare professionals who felt that NHS cause parental anxiety and affected parent-child bonding. 22,25 In contrast, several studies refuted this claim, since the behavior of parents could not be accurately measured unless their child underwent a hearing screening. 26,27 The present study also showed that only 10 out of the 40 ENT physicians (25%) believed that a referral to an audiologist was warranted, the same number of participants that would refer for cochlear implantation.…”

“…Several studies have examined the knowledge, attitude and practice of newborn hearing screening (NHS) among medical professionals across the world for various areas of medical specializations, 13 such as physicians, 11,14 pediatricians, [15][16][17][18] midwives 19 and mixed samples of physicians and pediatricians. 20,21 Previous reports have shown a poor to fair level of knowledge about NHS relating to information, 12,19,22 positive attitude 3,11,18,23 and effective procedures. 15,19,23 However, none of these studies has been conducted in Jordan or any developing country.…”

Introduction One of the main factors that affect the early diagnosis and intervention of hearing loss is inadequate knowledge by the health care workers. Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists are the main source of information about hearing loss and its management in most developing countries, such as Jordan. Objective The purpose of the present study is to explore the level of knowledge and the practice of hearing screening and hearing loss management for children among ENT physicians in Jordan as an example of health care providers in developing countries of the Middle East. Methods This was a cross-sectional study, adapting a questionnaire of knowledge and the practice of hearing screening and hearing loss management for children. The questionnaire consisted of 2 sections with 20 questions. A total of 40 ENT physicians completed the questionnaire. Results The majority of the respondents acknowledged the importance of hearing screening for children; however, there was limited knowledge regarding hearing loss management and testing. Only 10 of the ENT physicians believed that a referral to an audiologist is warranted, and the majority of the respondents were not aware that a child with a confirmed permanent hearing loss should be referred to a speech pathologist or to a rehabilitation center. Managing unilateral and mild sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) was another area about which ENT physicians have limited knowledge. Conclusion There is a strong need for professional intervention programs, providing the latest updates and standardizations in the field of audiology and pediatric rehabilitation for ENT physicians.

Objective Universal newborn hearing screening (NBHS) has been widely implemented as a part of early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) programs worldwide. Even with excellent provider knowledge and screening rates, many infants do not receive definitive hearing testing or intervention after initial screening. The objective of this study was to identify sociodemographic factors contributing to loss of follow‐up. Data Sources PubMed, Scopus, and CINAHL. Review Methods Per Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐Analyses guidelines, the databases were searched from the date of inception through December 28, 2021. Studies containing sociodemographic information on patients who were referred to NBHS were included. Meta‐analysis of odds ratios (ORs) was performed comparing rates of sociodemographic variables between patients adherent and nonadherent to follow‐up. Results A total of 169,238 infants from 19 studies were included. Low birth weight (OR 1.6 [95% confidence interval, CI 1.2‐2.2, p < .001), racial minority (OR 1.4 [95% CI 1.2‐1.6], p < .001), rural residence (OR 1.5 [95% CI 1.1‐1.9], p = .005), lack of insurance (OR 1 [95% CI 1.4‐2.5], p < .001), and public or state insurance (OR 1.7 [95% CI 1.2‐4.2], p = .008) were associated with missed follow‐up after referred NBHS. Associated maternal factors included low maternal education (OR 1.8 [95% CI 1.6‐2.0], p < .001), young maternal age (OR 1.5 [95% CI 1.5‐1.6], p < .001), unmarried maternal status (OR 1.5 [95% CI 1.1‐1.9], p = .003), and current or former maternal smoking status (OR 1.8 [95% CI 1.4‐2.2], p < .001). Conclusion Both infant and maternal sociodemographic factors influence follow‐up compliance after referred NBHS. Focused efforts should be made by medical providers and policymakers to address these factors to ensure appropriate newborn hearing care and interventions are achieved.
