  • Title: Using transient evoked otoacoustic emissions for neonatal hearing screening.
    Author: Maxon AB, White KR, Vohr BR, Behrens TR.
    Journal: Br J Audiol; 1993 Apr; 27(2):149-53. PubMed ID: 8220282.
    Abstract:
    The Rhode Island Hearing Assessment Project was developed to determine the feasibility of establishing a valid cost-effective method of screening newborn hearing through a universal early identification programme. In a sample of 1850 infants, sensorineural hearing loss was identified in 11 infants using transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs). A second sample of 1451 infants showed similar trends in hearing loss identification. TEOAE was shown to have significant potential as a newborn screening tool when used in a carefully designed hospital-based early identification programme.
