Summary
The publication is intended to present our experience with screening in pathological newborns. TEOAE (transient evoked oto-acoustic evoked emissions) provide a rapid and objective test of cochlear external hair cells in case of absent pathological changes in the middle ear. The examination is based on the experience that the healthy ear stimulated by a sound stimulus generates, by oscillations of external hair cells, sounds which are emitted via middle ear outside and can be therefore recorded and analyzed. The observed group is formed by patients who were admitted into the newborn intensive care units at the Faculty Hospital Brno. The TEOAE examination was performed in the years 2008-2011.
Timely detection of hearing loss decreases the risk of unfavorable impact of the hearing disorder to the development of the individual with the utmost efficiency. Timely detection of hearing defect depends on the screening organization, which the authors consider poor, and the subsequent follow up of the patients with established hearing defect.
