Universal Neonatal Hearing Screening

The Polish Universal Neonatal Hearing Screening Program (PUNHSP) has been carried out in Poland for 14 years. The main aim of this Program is to organize hearing screening tests and to gather the information about risk factors of hearing loss in almost all newborns in Poland. It consists of 496 centers at 3 referral levels. A total of 5 458 114 children had been registered in the Central Database (CDB) of PUNHSP by the 22nd of August 2017. Bilateral sensorineural hearing loss was the most frequently appearing hearing impairment in children. It was diagnosed in 260 cases in 2016. This report presents the most important results and conclusions concerning the running of the PUNHSP in 2016.

Background: The world has more than 360 million population (almost 5% of world’s population) with disabling hearing loss and among them, 32 million are children. It is estimated that over 166 million people in the developing world face a severe lack of intervention services for hearing loss. There is a need to estimate the magnitude of various ear morbidities in school age children as well as to identify the various risk factors that play a role in the emergence of these morbidities. Aim: To find prevalence of various ear disorders and their risk factors among children 5-11 years old. Methodology: It was a cross-sectional, community based study conducted at a resettlement colony named Gokulpuri, in East Delhi. Study was conducted for a period of one year, Jan 2017 – Dec 2017. Children in the age group 5 yrs. to 11 yrs. were included in the study. Results: Total prevalence of ear morbidities in children was found to be 15.8%. Wax impaction in the ears was found to be most prevalent morbidity 10.6%. Educational status of mother and head of the family, immunization status of child, history of slapping trauma and coryza were among the associated risk factors. Exclusive breast feeding was statistically insignificantly associated

The aim of this study was to measure the frequency of hearing loss in a sample of typical public high-school students exposed to recreational noise, and determine associated risk factors. The sample was made up of 214 teenagers from a high-school in Mexico City; subjects were selected randomly per strata. We applied a questionnaire to identify risk factors for hearing loss and performed a battery of audiologic tests consisting of otoscopy, tympanometry, and pure-tone audiometry. The mean age of the sample was 16 ± 1.07 years; 73% were male and 27%, female. Hearing loss was found in 21% of students. The main hearing loss-related risk factor was exposure to recreational noise: frequent attendance at discotheques and pop-music concerts; use of personal stereos; and noise exposure in school workshops. The high frequency of hearing loss in high school students from one Mexico City school (nearly one fifth of the sample) was found to be related to noise exposure mainly during recreational activities.

<p class="abstract"><strong>Background:</strong> Hearing loss is the most common disorder in neonates; it can be best managed if it is diagnosed at early stage of life. The global prevalence of permanent neonatal hearing loss mainly occurs in developing countries, which accounts 0.5 to 5.0 per 1000 live births. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of aminoglycoside therapy and other risk factors that induce hearing loss in neonates admitted at NICU at Cipto-Mangunkusumo General Hospital (CMGH).</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Methods:</strong> This was a case-control study conducted among 112 neonates at Cipto-Mangunkusumo General Hospital (CMGH). Data from neonatal hearing screening were retrospectively collected from hospital electronic medical records and medical files. Only patients treated at neonatal unit from November 2018 to October 2019 were recruited.  </p><p class="abstract"><strong>Results:</strong> Out of 112 neonates studied, the gestational age at birth (GA) and craniofacial anomalies were considered risk factors for hearing loss since they were statistically significant (p&lt;0.05). The study showed no statistical significant association in gender, birth weight, mechanical ventilation, NICU stay period (&gt;5 days), hyperbilirubinemia (&gt;20 mg/dl), asphyxia, and aminoglycoside therapy (p&gt;0.05).</p><p class="abstract"><strong>Conclusions:</strong> The prevalence of hearing loss in neonates with lower gestational age less than 37 weeks and craniofacial anomalies are significant higher compare to neonates born full term. They are more associated with 3 and 6 times increased risk of hearing loss in neonates.</p>

Universal Newborn Hearing Screening

The current study aimed at determining the type and frequency of high-risk factors for hearing loss in a group of very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) neonates in a tertiary hospital in South Africa with the objective of collating evidence that could be used in arguing for or against revisiting targeted hearing screening in developing countries. Furthermore, the study aimed at investigating the relationship between the identified high-risk factors and hearing screening results. In a retrospective data review design, data were collated from files from the VLBW project; this included hearing screening records, as well as records from participant medical and audiology files. Records of 86 neonates with birth weights ranging between 680 g and 1 500 g were reviewed. Findings indicated that neonatal jaundice, exposure to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), mechanical or assisted ventilation, and neonatal intensive care unit stay greater than 48 hours were the most frequently occurring high-risk factors for hearing loss in the current sample. These factors are consistent with those listed in the high-risk register of the Health Professions Council of South Africa for the South African context. Findings confirm the complexity of risk factors, and the influence that a variety of factors such as poor follow-up or return rate might have on the implementation of early hearing detection and intervention. The importance of establishing context-specific risk factors for effective implementation of targeted screening protocols where universal newborn hearing screening is not yet a reality was highlighted by the current study.
