Abstract:Abstract:ObjectiveTo evaluate the audiological results of referral infants for failed secondary hearing screening.MethodsThe audiological results of 210 ears were analyzed.All the referral infants received audiological evaluationin cluding auditory brainstem response(ABR), auditory steadystate response(ASSR), distortion product otoacoustic emission(DPOAE), 40 Hz auditory eventrelated potentials and acoustic impedance.ResultsOf all the 210 ears,143 were confirmed to have hearing loss with adetection rate of 68.10%(143/210).Of the confirmed 143 ears, 62 ears (43.36%) were conductive and 81 ears (56.64%)were sensorineural.Large vestibular aqueduct syndrome(LVAS)was diagnosed in 16 ears with an incidence of 7.62%(16/210). Auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder was confirmed in 6 ears with an incidence of 2.85%(6/210).ConclusionsThe detection rate of hearing loss is high in infants who have failed secondary hearing screening. We should pay more attention to carry out dynamic followup for hearing in infants with high risk factors.Accurate and comprehensive audiological evaluations should be conducted combined with the physiological characteristics of infants.
