Abstract

This study aims to study the incidence and factors associated with abnormal newborn hearing screening test at Yangtalad Hospital Kalasin Province. A retrospective study design was adopted to conduct this study. Data was recruited from the medical records of all newborns who were born in Yangtalad Hospital from 1st August 2022 to 30th September 2024, a total of 1,744 cases. Data collection was recorded by using the record form of hearing screening test (Otoacoustic Emission; OAE) for newborn babies in Yangtalad Hospital, Kalasin Province. Data was analyzed by using descriptive statistics Chi-square or Fisher’s Exact test and Student t-test. p-value < 0.05 was set significant.

Results: The incidence of hearing disorder among newborns OAE1 was 7.1% and OAE2 was 1.6 %. This study does not find factor that statistical significance associated with hearing disorders.

Conclusion: The results of newborn hearing screening at Yangtalad Hospital in Kalasin province, using OAE during the first and second screenings, still show a high incidence of abnormalities. Therefore, it is important to raise awareness and give priority to hearing screenings for all newborns. Additionally, follow-up on development, particularly language development, should be conducted for those who were found to have abnormalities in both screenings over the long term.
