RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the measures to improve the newborn hearing screening quality.Methods835 cases of neonates using distortion product otoacoustic emissions for hearing screening,after first,second and third hearing screening,the final 5 cases failed,diagnosed by ABR screening hearing handicap in 3 cases.Experience constantly was summed up during screening process to improve screening quality.Results835 newborns were screened.The rate of failing to hearing screening was 0.60％,the rate of hearing impairment diagnosed by ABR was 0.36％,and the positive proportion of hearing screening was 0.24％.ConclusionOur experience during screening progress is to take some measures to improve the newborn hearing screening quality,with reducing false positives and avoiding false negatives,by choosing screening time,cleaning external ear and electric-otoscopy examination,environmental noise control,updating test procedures according to the physiology and development of the newborns,testing calibration instruments of otoacoustic emissions hearing screening,selecting suitable earplug,probe with correct plsce,and combining acoustic impedance examination,with a long term follow-up of listening in high risk neonates with passing screening.
