Analysis of newborn hearing screening using automated auditory brainstem response

Newborn Hearing Screener Based on Automatic Auditory Brainstem Response Detection

Hearing loss is one of the pathologies with the highest prevalence in newborns. If it is not detected in time, it can affect the nervous system and cause problems in speech, language and cognitive development. The recommended methods for early detection are based on otoacoustic emissions (OAE) and/or auditory brainstem response (ABR). In this work, the design and implementation of an automated ...

the sensitivity and specificity of automated auditory brainstem response and otoacoustic emission in neonatal hearing screening: a systematic review

background and aim: otoacoustic emissions (oae) and automated auditory brainstem response (aabr) are the most commonly-used methods for universal neonatal hearing screening (unhs). various sensitivity and specificity rates have been reported for the oae and aabr tests as tools for screening newborn hearing. the main objective of this review was to determine the pooled sensitivity and pooled spe...

Sensitivity of the Automated Auditory Brainstem Response in Neonatal Hearing Screening.

BACKGROUND In a 2-stage neonatal hearing screening protocol, if an infant fails the first-stage abstract screening with an otoacoustic emissions test, an automated auditory brainstem response (ABR)test is performed. The purpose of this study was to estimate the rate of hearing loss detected byfirst-stage otoacoustic emissions test but missed by second-stage automated ABR testing. METHODS The ...

Newborn hearing screening with combined otoacoustic emissions and auditory brainstem responses.

Accurate assessment of neonatal hearing screening performance is impossible without knowledge of the true status of hearing, a prohibitive requirement that necessitates a complete diagnostic evaluation on all babies screened. The purpose of this study was to circumvent this limitation by integrating two types of screening measures obtained near simultaneously on every baby. Peripheral auditory ...
