Objetivo

El objetivo de este estudio es analizar un protocolo decribado auditivo neonatal en el que se combina el usode otoemisiones acústicas (OEA) evocadas y potencialesevocados auditivos de tronco cerebral (PEATC).

Pacientes y métodos

Se estudiaron 1.532 recién nacidos con un protocolo enel que se realizaron OEA y PEATC. Además, se realizó unaevaluación del desarrollo auditivo hasta los 12 meses deedad mediante unos cuestionarios trimestrales.

Resultados

Superaron las OEA 1.485 niños (97%), a 185 bebés(12%) fue necesario realizarles PEATC y sólo 11 niños(0,7%) precisaron ser remitidos al servicio de otorrinolaringologíapara completar el estudio y realizar el diagnósticodefinitivo. En 4 niños se detectó enfermedad auditiva.En este estudio no se detectó ningún falso negativo duranteel seguimiento.

Conclusiones

Este protocolo de estudio en el que se usa OEA y PEATCde forma combinada, demuestra ser útil para la detecciónde la hipoacusia en recién nacidos. La prevalencia dela hipoacusia detectada en este estudio fue de 2,6% reciénnacidos vivos.

Objective

To analyze a neonatal hearing screening protocol with transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (OAE) and audito-ry brainstem response (ABR).

Patients and methods

We studied 1,532 newborns with a protocol using transientevoked otoacoustic emissions and auditory brainstemresponse. We also evaluated auditory developmentuntil twelve months of age with quarterly questionnaires.

Results

A total of 1,485 (97%) newborns had normal OAE,185 (12%) were referred for ABR exploration and only11 (0.7%) were referred to the otorhinolaryngology servicefor auditory study and diagnosis. Four neonates hadauditory disjunction. No false negatives were detected inthe follow-up.

Conclusions

This hearing screening protocol with OEA and ABR isuseful for detecting hearing loss in neonates. The prevalenceof hearing loss in this study was 2.6% of live newborns.
