Auditory deficit screening in children with risk factors
Keywords:
hearing loss, auditory screening, otoacoustic emissions.Abstract
Introduction: It is estimated that one to three per thousand children are born with severe bilateral hearing loss. The technological progress that has occurred in recent years in Cuba has implemented programs for the early detection of hearing loss, with nationally manufactured equipment for auditory screening, such as Transient Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions and Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials.
Objective: To expose the usefulness of otoacoustic emissions and auditory evoked potentials of the brain stem in the investigation of hearing deficit in children with risk factors.
Methods: An exhaustive search was performed in the PubMed, Cumed, SeCiMed and other databases. Current knowledge on hearing screening, diagnostic means and ways of dealing with this process were analyzed. In the search and analysis of the information, the terms were used: hearing deficit, hearing screening, transient evoked otoacoustic emissions. No language restrictions applied
Conclusions: Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions and brainstem auditory evoked potentials. have shown high sensitivity in the early detection of hearing loss in children.
