“…The combination of TEOAE's and a-ABR in a two-stage screening program (a-ABR offered to newborns who failed to pass the initial TEOAE screening) has been found to provide the most favorable combination of specificity, sensitivity, referral rates, and cost effectiveness [5,16,20]. This fact is also supported by four recent studies in Germany, France, and Italy [25][26][27][28].…”

“…The average initial referral rate in these studies was 3.89%. Five studies (107,560 children) had used transiently evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE's) [5,[10][11][12][13], two studies (15,382 children) automated auditory brainstem response (a-ABR) [14,15], while the remaining 13 studies (564,180 children) had used both screening protocols [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. The numbers of screened children varied from 1,421 [11] to 148,240 [17], whereas the initial referral rate varied from 0.6% [15] to 16.7% [11].…”

“…The identified cases with hearing loss as the final outcome of the related investigation varied from 0.038% [20] to 0.517% [10]. The lost-to-follow-up rates varied from 3.7% [25] to 65% [5].…”

“…A recent cost analysis of the UNHS was made by Böttcher et al in Hessen, Germany [33]. The most cost effective protocol in Typically, the UNHS programs use a two-stage approach: TEOAE'S repeated twice, TEOAE's followed by a-ABR or automated a-ABR repeated twice [5,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Children who fail in-hospital screening test are usually referred for repeat testing between 2 and 8 weeks after discharge (second stage).…”

“…Two-step a-ABR screening is related with an initial referral rate of 0.6-2.03% (adequate data from two studies is available [15,17]). The initial referral rate when a two-step TEOAE and a-ABR screening is involved varies between 1.04 and 6.5% (as reported in data from six studies [16,23,[25][26][27][28]). Combined three-staged protocols are related with an initial referral rate of 6.4-8.9% (adequate data from two studies is available [10,20].…”

The finding that early detection of permanent congenital childhood hearing loss produces worthwhile benefit in terms of improved speech and language provides the rationale for the universal screening of newborns. The aim of the present study is to collect the current evidence with regard to the efficacy, the results and outcomes of universal hearing screening programs. An extensive search of the literature was performed in Medline and other available database sources. Study selection was based on the evaluation of the protocols used and the assessment of their efficacy in the early diagnosis of congenital hearing impairment. The initial referral rate and the rate of false positives were also evaluated. A total of 676,043 screened children have been identified in 20 studies. The average initial referral rate in these studies was 3.89%. The initial referral rate varied from 0.6 to 16.7%. The lost-to-follow-up rates varied from 3.7 to 65%. Although universal hearing screening is now widely adopted, there are still some serious drawbacks and limitations. False positives rates remain considerably high when newborns are screened with TEOAE's. The combination of TEOAE's and a-ABR provides a significantly reduced referral rate. Close cooperation between audiological centres and maternity units and a dedicated secretariat team are of paramount importance with regard to the reliability and efficacy of universal hearing screening.

The objective of this study was to investigate the usefulness of auditory steady-state responses (ASSRs) for estimating hearing thresholds in young children, compared with behavioural thresholds. The second objective was to investigate ASSR thresholds obtained with insert earphones versus supra-aural headphones to determine which transducer produces ASSR thresholds most similar to behavioural thresholds measured with supra-aural headphones. This retrospective study included 29 participants (58 ears): 12 children (24 ears) in the insert group and 17 children (34 ears) in the supra-aural group. No general anaesthesia was used. For both groups, there was a strong correlation between behavioural and ASSR thresholds, with a stronger correlation for the insert group. When behavioural thresholds are difficult to obtain, ASSR may be a useful objective measure that can be combined with other audiometric procedures to estimate hearing thresholds and to determine appropriate auditory rehabilitation approaches.
