“…Rates of tympanometry failure were very low in both stages (1.9% and 1.3%, respectively), in keeping with the trend for Chinese children to be less affected by middle ear infection than their Western counterparts (Rushton, Tong, Yue, Wormald, & van Hasselt, 1997;Wan & Wong, 2002). Likewise, pure tone audiometry failure rates could be considered as very low in both stages (2.6% and 2.8%, respectively), if compared with standard Western reports [e.g., Nozza, Sabo, and Mandel (1997) cite a failure rate of 13.2% for 5-10 yr old children]. In contrast, however, otoscopy failure rates in the current study were twice as high as described in the previous stage (7.8% vs. 3.5%, respectively).…”

This study aimed to develop and evaluate a questionnaire for mass screening of rural school children in China. A total of 154 children, ages ranging from 6-13 years (mean = 9.3 years, SD = 1.7), were screened using the Chinese Hearing Questionnaire for School Children (CHQS-II). The CHQS-II was designed to detect cases at risk of otitis media with effusion and/or at least a moderate hearing loss in one or both ears. The test performance of the questionnaire was determined through comparison with 'gold standard' assessments. The diagnostic protocol was failed by 9.7% of participants, whilst the questionnaire was failed by 47.4%. Overall, the CHQS-II was found to be only moderately accurate (.62) as a screening system. When compared with standard diagnostic tests, its sensitivity was moderate but its efficiency was poor. Therefore, it cannot be recommended as a technique for mass hearing screening of rural school children in China.

Hearing Screening and Diagnostic Evaluation of Children With Unilateral and Mild Bilateral Hearing Loss

More than 90% of newborns in the United States are now being screened for hearing loss. A large fraction of cases of unilateral hearing loss and mild bilateral hearing loss are not currently identified through newborn hearing screening. This is of concern because a preponderance of research has demonstrated that unilateral hearing loss and mild bilateral hearing loss can lead to developmental delays and educational problems for some children. To help address this probable underidentification of unilateral hearing loss and mild bilateral hearing loss among infants and children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Early Hearing Detection and Intervention program and the Marion Downs Hearing Center convened a workshop in Breckenridge, Colorado, in July 2005. During this workshop, several issues related to screening and diagnosing unilateral hearing loss and mild bilateral hearing loss were identified, as well as recommendations for future research in this area. Issues identified included the lack of standardized definitions for permanent unilateral hearing loss and mild bilateral hearing loss; the use of screening protocols that are primarily designed to identify bilateral and unilateral hearing losses of a moderate degree or greater (eg, above 40 dB); calibration of screening equipment; availability of facilities that can provide the full range of audiologic, diagnostic, and management services to this pediatric population; and an overall lack of awareness by many professionals and families about the potential effect of unilateral hearing loss and mild bilateral hearing loss. Suggestions for future research, such as identifying ways to improve the identification of cases of unilateral hearing loss and mild bilateral hearing loss, were also discussed.

ÖZETOtoakustik emisyonlar, kokleada dış şaçlı hücrelerin hareketi ile oluşur. Dış kulak yolundan kayıt edilebilen hafif düzeyde enerji yayılımlarıdır. Bu kayıtlar sayesinde işitmenin varlığı konusunda değerlendirmelerde bulunulabilir. Emisyon ölçüm tekniklerinin gelişmesiyle birlikte klinik olarak yaygın kullanım alanı elde edilmiştir. Otoakustik emisyon yenidoğanlarda, üç yaş altında çocuklarda ve konuşma problemi ve kooperasyon güçlüğü olan hastalarda işitmenin değerlendirilmesinde yardımcı olabilir. Anahtar kelimeler: İşitme kaybı, dış saçlı hücreler, otoakustik emisyonlar ABSTRACT Otoacoustic emissions occurs by the movement of the outer hair cells in cochlea. They are mild level acoustic energy emissions which can be record from external auditory canal. Though these records may evaluate the presence of hearing. With the development of emission measurement techniques, it was obtained clinically wide application. Otoacoustic emissions can help in the evaluation of the hearing in children who are under 3 years old and patients who have language and cooperation problems.
