Overview

Randomized trial evaluates a behavioral hearing screener in children, indicating effective screening methods.

Key Points

  • To validate an affordable mHealth-based subjective hearing screener for children to identify hearing loss.
  • Developed mHealth screener using calibrated headphones and speakers at 60 dB HL.
  • Included modules for various age groups: BOA for 0-1 years, SSAT for 1-3 years, and SRT for 3-6 years.
  • Evaluated performance metrics such as sensitivity (SEN), specificity (SPE), and accuracy (ACU).
  • For infants (0-1 years), the BOA+HRR showed SEN = 86%, SPE = 91%, ACU = 90%.
  • In children (1-3 years), SSAT performed best with SEN = 98%, SPE = 85%, ACU = 91.2%.
  • For ages 3-6 years, SRT achieved SEN = 95%, SPE = 89%, ACU = 91.43%.
