This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a two-stage newborn hearing screening protocol.
Implemented a two-stage screening protocol using TEOAEs and AABR tests.
Monitored newborns for hearing loss diagnosis.
Assessed the need for follow-up regardless of risk factors.
Identified discordance between TEOAEs and AABR tests.
Recommended follow-up for all cases to avoid misdiagnosis.
Underlined the importance of early detection of mild or late-onset hearing loss.
Abstract
The discordant TEOAEs refer/AABR pass suggests that follow-up should be recommended independently of risk factors for PHI to avoid misleading diagnosis of mild or late-onset hearing loss.
