Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the performance of an enhanced Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) device (Vivosonic Integrity) in testing the hearing of young children under two years of age in the child's home or in a hospital.

Design: A prospective observational study for assessing ABR thresholds in children aged between 18 months and 2 years of age. The ABR tests were performed at home or in a regular hospital consultation room without soundproofing adaptations or electromagnetic shielding.

Study sample: Hearing was assessed in a total of 31 children (mean age 21.4 ± 3 months), with 20 tested at home and 11 in a hospital setting. These children, all with a congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) infection, were participants in the CONCERT-trial (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02005822).

Results: In 20 children tested at home, conclusive hearing thresholds were established at the first attempt in 91.7% of tested ears and in 100% following a second attempt. The first attempt was conclusive in all hospital-tested children.

Conclusions: Conclusive ABR results are achievable with the Vivosonic Integrity in young children under 2 years of age in home and hospital settings, even when awake, restless, talking, eating, drinking or watching television. This eliminates the need for sleep deprivation, sedation or general anaesthesia.

增强听觉脑干反应装置（活体声波完整性）在儿童家庭和医院中的应用。

目的：评价增强型听觉脑干反应装置（ABR）在儿童家庭或医院两岁以下幼儿听力测试中的表现。设计：一项评估18个月至2岁儿童ABR阈值的前瞻性观察性研究。ABR测试在家中或在没有隔音装置或电磁屏蔽的常规医院会诊室内进行。研究样本：共对31名儿童（平均年龄21.4±3个月）进行听力评估，其中20名在家中进行测试，11名在医院进行测试。这些儿童都患有先天性巨细胞病毒（cCMV）感染，是concert试验（ClinicalTrials.gov标识符：NCT02005822）的参与者。结果：在20名在家测试的儿童中，91.7%的测试耳朵在第一次尝试时建立了结论性听力阈值，第二次尝试后100%。在所有医院测试的儿童中，第一次尝试是决定性的。结论：在家庭和医院环境下，使用活体声学完整性对2岁以下的幼儿，即使在醒着、躁动、说话、吃饭、喝酒或看电视时，也可以获得结论性的ABR结果。这样就不需要剥夺睡眠、镇静或全身麻醉。
