“…While 0.8% (746) of the children were only screened after the reminder of local health authorities in 2011 [ 16 ], in 2016 only 51 (0.04%) parents had to be reminded. Very high screening rates of up to 99.1% were achieved in some European regions and countries due to the structure of health care systems [ 17 , 18 ].…”

Since the 1 January, 2009, newborn hearing screening (NHS) has been obligatory for every child in Germany. NHS is part of the Pediatrics Directive of the Federal Joint Committee. In this directive, details of the procedures and screening quality to be achieved are given. We evaluate if these quality criteria were met in Bavaria in 2016. The NHS data of children born in 2016 in Bavaria were evaluated for quality criteria, such as screening coverage in screening facilities, screening methods, referral rate (rate of failed tests at discharge) and a child’s age at the diagnosis of a hearing disorder. NHS was documented for 116,776 children born in Bavaria in 2016. In the first step, 78,904 newborns were screened with transient evoked otoacoustic emissions and 37,865 with automated auditory brainstem response. Of these, 9182 (7.8%) failed the first test in one or both ears. A second screening before discharge was performed on 53.3% of the newborns with a refer result in the first test, out of which 58.7% received a pass result. After the screening process, 4.6% of the newborns were discharged with a refer result. Only 18% of the first controls after discharge were performed by a pediatric audiologist. In 37.9% of the newborns, the screening center intervened to assure the control of any failed screening test. The median age of diagnosis for bilateral hearing loss was 5.3 months. In Bavaria, NHS was implemented successfully. A tracking system for all children who failed the hearing screening test is pivotal for early diagnosis and therapy of children with hearing deficiency.

“…The hearing loss can also increase in severity over time. 1-2 per thousand children are diagnosed with a hearing loss as newborns (Caluraud et al, 2015;Vos, Lagasse, & Levêque, 2014), and the prevalence increases to 2-4 per thousand by the time of school entry Watkin & Baldwin, 2011).…”

“…The share varies due to different samples and definitions, but numbers between 55% and 70% are reported (Caluraud et al, 2015;Wake, Poulakis, Hughes, Carey-Sargeant, & Rickards, 2005). Although some aspects of deafness are applicable regardless of degree, for example, the inability to follow a conversation in noisy surroundings, there are important differences between milder and more profound hearing loss.…”

“…Hearing loss is a common human inborn defect. The prevalence of neonatal hearing impairment is 1.4%, and 20% of these infants are diagnosed as profound hearing loss ( Caluraud et al., 2015 ). But congenital ear malformation is not a common clinical condition in children.…”

Cochlear implantation outcomes in children with common cavity deformity; a retrospective study

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ObjectiveA common cavity deformity (CCD) is a deformed inner ear in which the cochlea and vestibule are confluent forming a common rudimentary cystic cavity that results in profound hearing loss. There are few studies paying attention to common cavity. Our group is engrossed in observing the improvement of auditory and verbal abilities in children who have received cochlear implantation (CI), and comparing these targets between children with common cavity and normal inner ear structure.Material and methodsA retrospective study was conducted in 12 patients with profound hearing loss that were divided into a common cavity group and a control group, six in each group matched in sex, age and time of implantation, based on inner ear structure. Categories of Auditory Performance (CAP) and speech intelligibility rating (SIR) scores and aided hearing thresholds were collected and compared between the two groups. All patients wore CI for more than 1 year at the Cochlear Center of Anhui Medical University from 2011 to 2015.ResultsPostoperative CAP and SIR scores were higher than before operation in both groups (p < 0.05), although the scores were lower in the CCD group than in the control group (p < 0.05). The aided threshold was also lower in the control group than in the CCD group (p < 0.05).ConclusionEven though audiological improvement in children with CCD was not as good as in those without CCD, CI provides benefits in auditory perception and communication skills in these children.
