The review was based on data collected from a 2004 survey of early hearing detection programs; responses to a 2006 survey of audiologists undertaken by the authors; a literature review of 55 articles, reports and internet sources from 1995 to 2007; and one 2006 Market Research Report. This data was compared to the UNHS benchmarks set by the Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH) in 2007. In the 21 countries where data on national screening coverage were available, the average coverage was 46% (JCIH recommends 95% or more). In the 32 countries where data on regional or local screening coverage were available, the average coverage was 64% (JCIH recommends 95% or more). In the 27 countries where data on referral rates were available, the average rate was 7% (JCIH recommends 4% or less). Finally, in the 16 countries where data on follow-up rate were available, the average rate was 63% (JCIH recommends 90% or more). These results highlight screening coverage and follow-up rate as the major inhibitors to the success of UNHS programs in many countries where UNHS programs are currently in operation. Factors contributing to these inhibitors are discussed.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"143 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120939520","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Britton","doi":"10.1375/AUDI.30.2.91","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1375/AUDI.30.2.91","url":null,"abstract":"This article reports the real-ear-to-coupler differences (RECD) of 24 children (46 ears) and the repeatability of measures for 30 ears. For measuring real-ear sound pressure level (SPL), the probe tube must be positioned close to the eardrum in order to be representative of the SPL at the eardrum. In this study, an acoustic method that used a 6 kHz standing wave minimum in the real ear to place the probe tube tip at 9 mm from the eardrum was used with custom earmoulds for measuring the real-ear portion of the RECD. The results showed a mean insertion depth from the inter-tragal notch of 24.4 mm. Across frequencies between 0.25 to 4 kHz, the test-retest difference was less than 1.0 dB, and the reliability coefficients ranged from 0.7 to 0.9. The finding on insertion depths from the inter-tragal notch confirms the appropriateness of recommendations for an insertion depth of 25 mm in measuring RECD of children of this age. Variability in measured insertion depths across individuals to achieve the same relative distance from the eardrums supports the use of the 6 kHz notch method for accurate real-ear SPL measurements. Intersubject variability is several times greater than variability associated with repeated measurements of a single subject. The repeatability of this method compares favourably with previous literature on measures using foam/immitance tips with constant probe tube insertion depth.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129947964","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hearing loss secondary to OM has been reported to result in deficits in auditory processing. It was hypothesised that such deficits can be more deleterious if OM occurs in the first year of life as there is maximum development of auditory neural pathways during this period. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to document the effects of reduced auditory experience secondary to OM in the first year of life on speech identification. Another purpose was to study the persistence of the negative effects of auditory deprivation on speech perception. A cross-sectional approach and a standard group comparison design was used in the study. Twenty one children, aged 5.1 years to 6.6 years, who had OM between 6 months and 12 months of age participated in the study along with age and gender matched normal children. Speech identification scores were obtained from these children for natural words, spectrally distorted, and time compressed words. Results showed that the children with early OM had significantly poorer speech identification scores for spectrally and temporally distorted words compared to normal children. There was no significant difference in the speech identification scores for natural speech between the two groups. These results have important implications for the way the hearing needs of children with early onset OM are taken care of in the classrooms of schools in India, and perhaps other developing countries.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123519245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Noise level measurements were taken at various points in the venues and a questionnaire was conducted with 303 of the patrons. Mean recorded sound levels exceeded 95 dB (A) and mean exposure time was almost five hours per session. The majority (81%) of respondents had suffered auditory symptoms such as temporary hearing loss, tinnitus and headache. The use of earplugs was low, especially in females and those under 26 years old. The results suggest that regular patrons and staff of these venues are at risk of NIHL. Recollection of a NIHL education campaign does not appear to influence the rate of hearing protection use. Regulating the noise level of venues must be considered as the most effective strategy to prevent NIHL.","PeriodicalId":114768,"journal":{"name":"Australian and New Zealand Journal of Audiology","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125122689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
