OBJECTIVE: This study evaluated the efficacy of a sequential hearing screening protocol using transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) and automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) tests in healthy newborns.
DESIGN: A TEOAE screening was performed during the first 48-72 h of life. If the infants failed, an AABR test was performed at the same time, and they were referred for a TEOAE rescreening at six weeks old. The results of screening Protocol 1 (only TEOAE) were compared with those of screening Protocol 2 (sequential TEOAE + AABR screenings for the first screening and TEOAE for the rescreening).
STUDY SAMPLE: A total of 1062 healthy newborns were enrolled in this research.
RESULTS: For Protocol 1, the first screening and rescreening referral rates were 11.1% and 2.2%, respectively. In contrast, for Protocol 2, the referral rates were significant lower at 3.8% and 0.9%, respectively. Using the two protocols, six infants were diagnosed with hearing loss (0.57%).
CONCLUSIONS: Adding simultaneous AABR tests for infants who fail TEOAE testing at the first screening stage can significantly reduce referral rates without increasing misdiagnosis rates. Although this sequential screening process involves slightly more time and has a higher cost than TEOAE alone, its greater accuracy compensates for this difference.
