“…It is well-established that managing children with hearing loss is only successful with suitable fitted hearing aids, and through receiving suitable speech-language therapy. 35,36 Unilateral and mild SNHL was another area where ENT physicians showed limited knowledge. More than half of the participants in the present study did not think, or were not sure that mild SNHL was worth the use of hearing aids in children.…”

Introduction One of the main factors that affect the early diagnosis and intervention of hearing loss is inadequate knowledge by the health care workers. Ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialists are the main source of information about hearing loss and its management in most developing countries, such as Jordan. Objective The purpose of the present study is to explore the level of knowledge and the practice of hearing screening and hearing loss management for children among ENT physicians in Jordan as an example of health care providers in developing countries of the Middle East. Methods This was a cross-sectional study, adapting a questionnaire of knowledge and the practice of hearing screening and hearing loss management for children. The questionnaire consisted of 2 sections with 20 questions. A total of 40 ENT physicians completed the questionnaire. Results The majority of the respondents acknowledged the importance of hearing screening for children; however, there was limited knowledge regarding hearing loss management and testing. Only 10 of the ENT physicians believed that a referral to an audiologist is warranted, and the majority of the respondents were not aware that a child with a confirmed permanent hearing loss should be referred to a speech pathologist or to a rehabilitation center. Managing unilateral and mild sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) was another area about which ENT physicians have limited knowledge. Conclusion There is a strong need for professional intervention programs, providing the latest updates and standardizations in the field of audiology and pediatric rehabilitation for ENT physicians.

“…Often, OAE screening is followed by screening using AABR for infants who do not pass the initial screening. The relative merits of OAE, AABR, or two-tier OAE/AABR screening algorithms for hearing screening in well-baby units continue to be debated [ 41 , 42 ].…”

Universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS), when accompanied by timely access to intervention services, can improve language outcomes for children born deaf or hard of hearing (D/HH) and result in economic benefits to society. Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs promote UNHS and using information systems support access to follow-up diagnostic and early intervention services so that infants can be screened no later than 1 month of age, with those who do not pass their screen receiving diagnostic evaluation no later than 3 months of age, and those with diagnosed hearing loss receiving intervention services no later than 6 months of age. In this paper, we first document the rapid roll-out of UNHS/EHDI policies and programs at the national and state/territorial levels in the United States between 1997 and 2005. We then review cost analyses and economic arguments that were made in advancing those policies in the United States. Finally, we examine evidence on language and educational outcomes that pertain to the economic benefits of UNHS/EHDI. In conclusion, although formal cost-effectiveness analyses do not appear to have played a decisive role, informal economic assessments of costs and benefits appear to have contributed to the adoption of UNHS policies in the United States.

“…Automation eliminates need for interpretation by an audiologist (JCIH, 2007 (Suppiej et al, 2007). Conversely, Levit, Himmelfarb, and Dollberg (2015) reported ABER missed 42% of infants with later confirmed hearing loss. While validity is not assured because a pass does not completely rule out auditory dysfunction, since high-risk newborns have a 10-20 times greater risk of hearing loss than the general newborn population, ABER is appropriate for very early screening to promote earlier diagnosis and intervention (Cristobal & Oghalai, 2008;JCIH, 2007).…”
