Abstract

Eight neonates who were referred and one neonate who was passed by automated ABR were followed up for 5-12 months using ABR, behavioral observation audiometry and conditioned orientation reflex audiometry. All of thirteen ears that were referred showed abnormal ABR at the first visit.
Three out of five ears that were passed showed normal ABR, but two ears had an abnormal ABR. The V-wave threshold of ABR was improved by more than 20 dB in four ears during the first 5-9 months.
The children who are detected by the screening should be followed up and their parents should be given psychological support.
