 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 7 Newborn hearing screening for the best timing analysis [Keywords:] best time for newborn hearing screening According to foreign survey, the incidence of congenital hearing loss in newborns accounted for 0.1% ~ 0.3%. In other words, that is, relatively speaking newborn hearing loss are few. In a large-scale newborn hearing screening to avoid false positives when the attention is very important. Therefore, in theory, newborn hearing screening to select an appropriate time is necessary to reduce the appearance of false positives to reduce the parent’s concerns. A screening of objects and methods 1.1 Screening Object September 5, 2009 ~ October 5, or cesarean section delivery in our hospital 180 cases of normal newborns were divided into 3 groups (A group 24 hours after birth, B group 48 hours after birth, C group 72 hours after birth to 7 days). 60 cases in each group, three groups of neonatal Apgar score, weight, gender no difference between the groups, C group a higher cesarean section rate newborns, hospital stay longer. 1.2 Methods 1.2.1 Screening Instrument GSI.70 automated otoacoustic emission hearing screening instrument. Otoacoustic emission is the normal hearing ear, the sound generated within the cochlea, the outer hair cells of a bio-mechanical process inside. As the normal ear can produce otoacoustic emissions, OAE and therefore there is no abnormal cochlear function has become a reliable sign. Otoacoustic emission testing is conducted on cochlear pathology testing methods, rapid, and no damage. 1.2.2 Test results to determine the time and 10:00 ~ 11:30 every morning test. Ears pass through one ear pass for non-adoption. A, B groups who did not pass the next day once again re-screening. In infants between 30 ~ 90 days, re-screen all the time, to ensure the accuracy of the review. If the infant did not pass re-screening diagnostic should be confirmed in time, it is recommended to the ear canal observe whether there is obst
