Sažetak
Research goal: to determine the percentage of newborns in OŽB Požega which has been tested hearing and the frequency of unilateral and bilateral hearing loss as well as the most common difficulties in screening for hearing in newborns. Patients and methods: In the period from 1.1.2003. - 31.12.2011. in OŽB Požega 5672 children were born. Specially trained nurses carried out the first stage of hearing screening by OAE method. The second level of screening is carried out by the same method, three weeks after. Results: In the monitored period, the percentage of infants tested ranged from 82.87% -98.11%. Of the total percentage of untested newborns 7% not tested due to equipment failure. During the nine year period, unilateral hearing loss was found in 11 children while in 4 of them bilaterally hearing was found. Turnout in the second stage of screening ranged from 34% -65%. Conclusion: The results confirm to us the importance and significance of carrying out impairment in newborns. The incidence of hearing loss in our population fits into the world determined incidence. Further efforts are aimed educating parents about the importance of hearing checks to get a greater response to the second level of screening.
