46
Q

Brief stimulus or broad spectrum consists of what type of sounds?

A

Click

tone burst

47

51
Q

What are newborn hearing screening techniques?

A

OAE (Otoacoustic Emissions)

ABR (Auditory brainstem response)

Two Stage (OAE + ABR)

52
Q

Explain the procedure of OAE

A

sounds are presented to ear canal and a small microphone measures the response in the ear canal

avg. test time is 5-15 minutes

53
Q

Explain the procedure of ABR

A

sounds are presented to the ear and surface electrodes measure an EEG type response from the auditory nerve. a response from the nerve constitutes a pass

avg. time to complete: 20 minutes

54
Q

Explain two stage OAE + ABR

A

babies who fail the OAE screening receive an ABR screening prior to leaving the hospital

in some facilities, 2 stage process may include a second OAE screening within 24 hours beforer procedding with ABR.

55
Q

What if infant fails UNHS?

A

babies who fail initial hearing screening will actually have normal hearing

56
Q

What is the role of the ‘medical home’?

A

as clinicians we need to understand testing results at screening and diagnostic phases and implications to follow up

assure follow-up screening: refer for diagnostic and medical specialty evaluations

support family in understanding severity and type of hearing loss

57
Q

What are some useful recommendations offered by JCIH?

A

check for auditory skills, middle ear status, dev. milestones, parental concerns (in each visit)

  • if concerned, refer to audiologist and SLP for evaluationi
  • if hearing loss is eval’d, refer siblings of infant for audiological evaluatioin
  • refer infants with any RISK factors
58
Q

What are some follow-up testing procedures?

A

*referral for follow-up testing : repeat OAE/ABR testing

*if hearing loss still suspect: refer to ped. audiologist, use freq. specific ABR to estimate degree and config. of hearing loss

59
