Infant Screening

Behavioral responses of 144 healthy neonates to actual and simulated presentations of three different high-frequency sounds of 85 dB SPL were studied. Stimuli were a narrow-band noise centered at 2000 Hz, a narrow-band noise centered at 3150 Hz, and a pure tone increasing and decreasing in frequency between 2000 and 4000 Hz. A masking noise which prevented knowledge of stimulus events was presented to one member of each observer pair. Results indicated that an observer’s judgments of infant behavior may be significantly influenced by knowledge of stimulus events. More responses were observed with the narrow-band noise centered at 2000 Hz; the most frequently observed responses were strong whole-body movements. A decrement in response strength tended to occur with repeated stimulation. Neither positive nor false positive responses were related to sex, anomalies, gestation period, birth weight, age at test, or body temperature. The inherent complexities of infant screening are discussed in relation to a signal detection paradigm.

AbstractDue to the close anatomical relationship between the auditory and vestibular end organs, hearing-impaired children have a higher risk for vestibular dysfunction, which can affect their (motor) development. Unfortunately, vestibular dysfunction often goes unnoticed, as vestibular assessment in these children is not standard of care nowadays. To timely detect vestibular dysfunction, the Vestibular Infant Screening–Flanders (VIS–Flanders) project has implemented a basic vestibular screening test for hearing-impaired infants in Flanders (Belgium) with a participation rate of 86.7% during the first year and a half. The cervical Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (cVEMP) test was applied as vestibular screening tool to map the occurrence of vestibular (mainly saccular) dysfunction in this population. At the age of 6 months, 184 infants were screened. No refers on vestibular screening were observed in infants with permanent conductive hearing loss. In infants with permanent sensorineural hearing loss, a cVEMP refer rate of 9.5% was observed. Failure was significantly more common in infants with severe-profound compared to those with mild-moderate sensorineural hearing loss (risk ratio = 9.8). Since this is the first regional study with a large sample size and successful participation rate, the VIS–Flanders project aims to set an example for other regions worldwide.
