Abstract
This study aimed to assess the accuracy of Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) compared with Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR), the gold standard method, in a hearing screening program for children aged 2-5 years old in Hanoi, Vietnam. From 2011 to early 2012, 7191 preschool children were evaluated with OAE. OAE and ABR were the two methods were applied to examine the hearing loss status of the children. Children with OAE (-), meaning as “refer” in the community, were re-assessed using ABR in the sound rooms at the Vietnam National Hospital of Pediatrics, Hanoi, Vietnam. The results showed that the overall accuracy percentage of OAE compared with ABR 93.2%. The OAE method demonstrated highest accuracy of 97.9% in the oldest children of 5 years, lowest accuracy among 3-year children (90.0%), and similar for boys and girls. The study demonstrated that the OAE method is a convenient and precise method for universal hearing loss screening for preschool children in Vietnam, especially in the hard-to-reach and limited resource areas. However, further confirmed method like ABR is still needed to confirm the hearing loss status among those be classified as hearing impairment in the OAE step.
