TLDR
Early identification and intervention of infants with severe and profound hearing loss by 6 months of age were successful and Infants with mild and moderate hearing loss should be followed up to six or eight months and received routine audiologic evaluations.Abstract:
Objective
To study the audiological characteristics of newborns and infants who failed hearing screening
Methods
One hundred and six infants failed hearing screening received follow-up study with routine audiological evaluations (auditory brainstem response, distortion product otoacoustic emission, tympanometry and visual reinforcement audiometry)
Results
Sixty-five infants (613% ) of this group were normal hearing subjects and 39(368%) of the infants had hearing loss Two cases (19%) received follow-up by phone Fifteen cases (142%)with conductive hearing loss and 24 cases (226%) with sensorineural hearing loss Thirteen(123%),14(132%) , 6(57%) , and 6(57%)cases were found to be mild , moderate, severe and profound hearing loss respectively Diagnosis of hearing loss in the thirty- nine infants conducted a prevalence of 0264% (39/14 785) of congenital hearing loss (both binaural and monaural) The hearing level of those cases with severe and profound hearing loss basically did not change, but that of cases with mild and moderate hearing loss changed
Conclusions
Early identification and intervention of infants with severe and profound hearing loss by 6 months of age were successful Infants with mild and moderate hearing loss should be followed up to six or eight months and received routine audiologic evaluations

TL;DR: This study shows that it is feasible and practical to achieve high coverage rates for screening hearing loss and decrease the referral rates in newborn babies of migrant workers, using a modification of the currently employed UNHS protocol.

TL;DR: The present data suggests that the hearing of infants cannot be sufficiently evaluated with ABR only and that it must be evaluated with integrative audiological testing methods.

Common Ear Diseases
TL;DR: Congenital ear malformations include auricular malformation, external ear canal atresia, middle ear malformation and inner ear micro-arousal malformation as discussed by the authors, which is the most common cause of ear death.

[Analysis of clinical audiological characteristics in 868 children referred from maternal and child institutions].
TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the clinical audiological characteristics of children referred from maternal and child institutions and analyzed the high risk factors of hearing loss, so as to provide scientific basis for further improvement of children's ear and hearing care.
