“…Besides, in the current study, 3.45% of screened newborns were referred for diagnostic audiology tests which is lower than an Indonesian study that reported a 7% refer rate by using OAEs as the only screening test [1]. Our referral rate, however, is higher than a similar study by Saki et al who used TEOAEs and AABR and reported 1.25% referrals in southwestern Iran in 2017 [32].…”

“…These risk factors are significant for hearing loss [17,[19][20][21]. TEOAEs aim to assess the integrity of the cochlea's outer hair cells, which cannot detect hearing loss involving damage to the brain or central auditory system [1]. So, TEOAEs may not identify hearing loss caused by hyperbilirubinemia [1], and our study showed that the probability of TEOAEs' pass result in newborns without higher levels of bilirubin was two times greater than newborns with this risk factor.…”

“…The tests were performed: [1] according to the guidelines of newborn hearing screening in Iran that required TEAOEs and AABR for all newborns at the time of this study, [2] in a quiet environment with babies feeding or asleep, [3] by a qualified audiologist of the health center. Tests included an otoscopic examination to check the external auditory canal and the TEOAEs and AABR tests (using an Accuscreen PRO-GN Otometrics, Madsen Electronics, Copenhagen, Denmark).…”

“…Hearing loss is one of the major disabling conditions affecting 34 million children globally with an estimated 665,000 babies born annually with congenital hearing loss [1,2]. Some babies may be at higher risk of developing hearing loss because of exposure to risk factors such as low birth weight, family history of hearing loss, being in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), newborn hyperbilirubinemia, low APGAR score (i.e., a measure of babies condition after birth in terms of appearance, pulse, grimace, activity, and respiration), intrauterine infections (e.g., TORCH in mother), craniofacial abnormalities, and prematurity [1,3,4]. The incidence of hearing loss ranges from 1 to 3 per 1000 live births in newborns without risk factors and 2-4 per 100 in newborns with risk factors [5].…”

“…Some studies have evaluated the possible associations between risk factors and newborn hearing screening tests [15,16]. A study in Indonesia, for example, reported a significant correlation between risk factors (e.g., low birth weight, prematurity, and congenital abnormalities) and the absence of TEOAEs [1]. OAEs test results in a study in Jordan also showed higher failure rates of the first OAEs in infants with a family history of hearing impairment [17].…”

Congenital hearing loss can have a long-term impact on children’s speech and communication abilities. Early detection and intervention of hearing loss are important in newborns. It is well known that there are several risk factors for hearing loss; however, the relationship between these risk factors and hearing screening tests remains uncertain in Iran. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the relationship between hearing loss risk factors and Automated Auditory Brainstem Response (AABR) and Transient-Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions (TEOAEs) within the Iranian context. This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 9622 newborns (4643 females and 4979 males) in Iran. The data related to newborn hearing screening, including gender, the results of initial hearing screening, and hearing loss risk factors, were extracted from newborns’ record files. Data were analyzed using SPSS and a significant level was 0.05%. 190 (3.45%) newborns were referred to the screening. Fourteen newborns were diagnosed with hearing loss (prevalence of hearing loss = 1.45 per 1000) and 9 had one or more risk factors. There was a strong relationship between NICU admission, hyperbilirubinemia, family history of hearing loss, and consanguineous marriage with hearing screening test results (P < 0.05). Among risk factors investigated in this study, hyperbilirubinemia, family history of hearing loss, and intrauterine infections were not significantly correlated with TEOAEs results (P > 0.05). In contrast, they were significantly correlated with AABR results and the lowest OR was for prematurity and the highest for family history of hearing loss. Hyperbilirubinemia, family history of hearing loss, and intrauterine infections were the most significantly correlated risk factors with AABR and family history of hearing loss could be considered as a risk factor that most often leads to AABR failure results in Iran. So, Iranian clinicians, specifically, should ask parents to ask their relatives about any history of hearing loss or other health conditions that may affect their child's health. The findings also provide further evidence supporting the effectiveness of the newborn hearing screening protocols within the Iranian context, which recommend using AABR and TEOAEs tests for infants with risk factors for hearing loss.
