Abstract
:
Profound congenital hearing loss is associated with delayed language, learning and speech development. The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of congenital hearing loss in Saudi healthy term newborns at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH).The method used is Otoacoustic emission (OAE) testing ,which is a routine and reproducible test used in many hospitals in developed countries to screen newborns for hearing deficits in Universal neonatal hearing screening(UNHS). Otoacoustic emissions are produced by healthy ears in response to acoustic stimulation. The device is fast and easy to use. A pass considered normal, and those who fail to pass the test, will be revaluated at the age of three months , by auditory brainstem evoked response (ABR).When the ABR is performed it will confirm the presence of congenital hearing loss ,the incidence is calculated per 1000 live births. Infants with congenital hearing loss will be referred for early intervention and rehabilitation to improve speech, language and communication skills which has great impact later on academic achievement, and social adjustment of the child and the family and better quality of life.
