Triagem auditiva neonatal: experiências de diferentes países

Abstract

Summary Introduction:?The Newborn Hearing Screening (NHS) has been implemented in several countries. Objective:?The purpose of this study was to identify and report the experiences of different countries with the NHS. Method:?We searched the MEDLINE, BIREME, SciELO, LILACS, PubMed, Google Scholar, Science Direct, CAPES journals, and the websites of the Support Group Universal Newborn Hearing Screening (GATANU), Joint Committee on Infant Hearing, International Association of Logopedics and Phoniatrics, American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and research in scientific events and textbooks as needed. The keywords used were: newborn hearing screening, universal newborn hearing screening, newborn hearing screening, and universal newborn hearing screening. Data Synthesis:?We found that TAN programs are being conducted in approximately 55 countries effectively and successfully. The predominant procedure is the assessment of evoked otoacoustic emissions (SOAE). Conclusion:?There are increasing efforts to improve the quality of programs, universal TAN and development of relevant legislation.

Quality indicators in a newborn hearing screening service

“…1 Programs for early identification of hearing loss in the neonatal period are being implemented around the world, with the aim to promote an early intervention and, hence, the development of language by children with hearing impairment. 2,3 The evaluation of health services and programs is required as part of routine healthcare, to enable the identification of deficiencies and to visualize hearing improvement opportunities. The planning of health actions and the targeting of financial resources should preferably be based on the evidence found in evaluation studies.…”

Maturação auditiva periférica: análise das amplitudes das emissões otoacústicas produto de distorção em neonatos pré-termo e a termo

“…It is worth noting that approximately 50% of the hearing losses are identified in children without risk indicators for this deficiency (8) , which suggests the need to test all newborns by the Universal Neonatal Hearing Screening (UNHS) (11,12) . In many countries, there are growing efforts to improve the quality, universalization of the NHS and drafting of relevant legislation (13,14) . The NHS can be performed by means of Evoked Otoacoustic Emissions, Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potential (ABR) and observation of the auditory behavior.…”

“…The NHS programs have been successfully conducted in about 55 countries, being the EOAEs the main method of analysis. In case of failure, the most common measure is to retest, and if the result does not change, the research of ABR (13) . The EOAEs are sounds produced by the outer hair cells (OHCs) of the cochlea in response to acoustic stimuli presented through the external auditory canal (EAC).…”

Potencial evocado auditivo de tronco encefálico em crianças encaminhadas de um programa de triagem auditiva neonatal

“…1 É nos primeiros anos de vida que o contato da criança com o meio ambiente garantirá o aprendizado dos sons da fala. 2 Nos últimos anos, a deficiência auditiva na infância vem sendo discutida no âmbito da saúde pública, visando programar ações em saúde auditiva que permitam prevenir, identificar, diagnosticar e proporcionar a reabilitação auditiva em crianças com deficiência auditiva de origem congênita ou adquirida. 3 A Triagem Auditiva Neonatal Universal (TANU) foi criada na busca da identificação e intervenção precoce para o desenvolvimento adequado das funções auditivas, desenvolvimento da linguagem e da aprendizagem.…”
