Abstract：Objective To investigate the application effect of automatic auditory brainstem response(AABR)and otoacoustic emission(DPOAE)in neonatal hearing screening.Methods A total of 1400 newborns who underwent hearing screening in Taizhou Jiangyan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the study subjects.AABR and DPOAE examinations were completed within 2～5 days after birth.The diagnostic efficacy of AABR alone,DPOAE alone,and AABR combined with DPOAE for neonatal hearing loss were compared based on the gold standard of auditory brainstem response(ABR).Results The positive rate of AABR combined with DPOAE for neonatal hearing loss was significantly higher than that of AABR alone and DPOAE alone(P<0.05).After Kappa consistency test,there was a high degree of consistency between AABR combined with DPOAE examination and the final diagnosis(P<0.05).In the comparison of diagnostic efficacy indicators,the sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value,and accuracy of AABR combined with DPOAE were significantly higher than those of AABR alone and DPOAE alone(P<0.05).Conclusion AABR examination and DPOAE examination can both be effective screening methods for hearing loss in newborns,and the combination of AABR and DPOAE examination can further improve the positive rate of hearing loss screening,have high diagnostic efficiency,and be conducive to early detection of hearing loss in newborns.
