| Abstract | INTRODUCTION Hearing loss is amongst the commonest congenital abnormality occurring in one to three newborns per thousand and has a profound effect on the development of language and cognition in the affected child. The critical age for intervention has been identified as six months after which the child is disadvantaged in developing satisfactory communicative skills. Early detection of this problem has been difficult, although various screening test have been developed. Transient Evoked Otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs), the test to be used in this study has been found to be a quick, objective, non-invasive, accurate and easy test to perform. BROAD OBJECTIVE: Was to identify newborns with hearing loss and document results of hearing screening at KNH using TEOAE SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES 1. To determine the usefulness of TEOAE as a screening tool 2. To correlate results of hearing screening with TEOAE and presence of risk factors in newborns in KNH. 3. To determine the feasibility of a UNHS at the KNH |
