“…From our study, we emphasize the point that, even though in the 1st TEOAE test, the pass rate among LSCS group was low, we have also observed that 100% of the Elective LSCS born babies have passed in was compared with our present study, where we had 1 baby with <1000 grams who failed the test in both frequencies, and later was re-examined after 3 months, and in the 2nd TEOAE test the infant passed. 15 The inference of our 2nd TEOAE study was in contrast to their findings where they noticed that 3 out of the 5 babies had failed in the 2nd TEOAE test when they were re-examined after 30 days. Kadhim et al examined newborns as per their birth weight and found 8 babies who weigh <2500 grams and all of them have passed the 1st DPOAE hearing test, this contradicts with our study where we examined newborns by 1st TEOAE and observed that among the 28 babies who weigh between 1500-2500 grams, 80% of them passed the test while 20% of infants had to REFER in screening frequency.…”

Background: Hearing is one of the most complex systems of the human body and is a skill involved in the human social evolution. It has been estimated that around 900 million people by the end of 2050, will probably suffer from hearing loss. Our study aims to find out the correlation between the mode of delivery and the effect it has on newborn hearing screening. Methods: The Prospective study on 136 Newborn babies who were delivered in JLN Hospital & Research Centre, Bhilai, Chhattisgarh during October 2020 to August 2021. After obtaining detailed history all newborns underwent TEOAE screening and the data were then compared with the available literature. Results: We observed normal vaginal delivery newborns have passed the test by 97.91% and 89.58% when compared to LSCS delivered infants 97.15% and 86.36% in screening and diagnostic frequency respectively. COVID-19 infection was seen in 2.94% of pregnant mothers in the 3rd trimester. There were no babies who required BERA in our study Conclusions: Normal vaginally delivered newborns have higher pass rate in TEOAE test when compared with LSCS delivered babies. Covid-19 infection in antenatal mother can influence the outcome in 1st TEOAE tests. The pass rate in TEOAE hearing test in the screening frequency is found to be greater when compared with diagnostic frequencies. In a developing country like India, Universal hearing screening programs needs to be reached out to the most remote parts of the country, in order to identify at risk infants for hearing loss.
