Modern science and technology can already perform early hearing detection and diagnosis for newborns and infants. If infants and young children who are clearly diagnosed as permanent hearing loss can be scientifically intervention and rehabilitation training within 6 months of birth, most of them can return to the mainstream society.
Newborn hearing screening is an objective, rapid and non-invasive examination performed by electrophysiological tests such as otoacoustic emission, automatic auditory brainstem response, and acoustic impedance when the newborn is born in a natural sleep or quiet state. Reports at home and abroad show that the incidence of hearing loss between normal newborns and those with high-risk factors is quite different. Normal newborns are about 1%o-3‰, and newborns with high-risk factors are about 2%-4%.
The inspection items include hearing screening, diagnosis, intervention, follow-up, rehabilitation training and effect evaluation. It is a systematic and socialized eugenics project that requires strict quality control.
