Introduction The most commonly used method in neonatal hearing screening programs is transient evoked otoacoustic emissions in the first stage of the process. There are few studies comparing transient evoked otoacoustic emissions with distortion product, but some authors have investigated the issue. Objective To correlate the results of transient evoked and distortion product otoacoustic emissi...

The development and application of otoacoustic emissions in clinical practice marked the beginning of a new era in the field of screening for congenital hearing loss. In particular, transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) have been widely adopted by many universal hearing screening (UNHS) programs. The test is quick, non-invasive, objective, sensitive, frequency specific, relatively che...

Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAEs) are not necessarily recordable in all healthy neonates, before discharge, due to transient conditions (such as vernix in ear canals). To determine the possibility and feasibility of screening of very young newborns before discharge from hospital (JCIH, 2007), it is important to know how vernix in external ear during this time affects screening res...

J Appl Physiol 101: 644–654, 2006. First published April 20, 2006; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00192.2006.—Inhalation of H2O2 is known to evoke bradypnea followed by tachypnea, which are reflexes resulting from stimulation by re...

Contralateral acoustic stimulation (CAS) has the effect of reducing the amplitude of transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) of the opposite cochlea. This phenomenon is considered to be mediated via the efferent pathway, from the superior olivary complex through the medial olivocochlear system to the contralateral cochlea. The assessment of this suppressive effect provides an objective a...

introduction deafness is one of the most important sensory disturbances at birth. hearing loss can affect the development of speaking and learning during life. early diagnosis and intervention improve language outcome. the  current study aimed to determine the frequency of profound congenital hearing loss in healthy newborn infants in fars province. methods in a multicenter prospective study, f...

Background Transient tachypnea of the newborn (TTN) is a respiratory disorder caused by delay in the evacuation of the lung fluids. Prophylactic antibiotic therapy is recommended for the risk of sepsis. We aimed to evaluate the effect of the prophylactic antibiotic in infants with TTN. Materials and Methods This randomized clinical trial study was conducted on all infants, admitted to TTN at F...
