| Sumario: | Universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) contributes to the early diagnosis of hearing loss. However, not all permanent pediatric hearing impairments can be identified by UNHS. To investigate children who have successfully passed the UNHS, but have later-onset hearing loss at an early stage. UNHS of children, was reviewed retrospectively from databases at Karolinska University Hospital, Sweden. Gender, age, the reason for contact, the first contact and the most recent audiogram, the hearing diagnosis, the degree of hearing loss when they were enrolled in hearing rehabilitation, and the hearing aids they used were analysed. 63 children who had passed the UNHS at birth and were diagnosed with a hearing impairment at a later stage were included in the study. The average age was 3.3 and 3.9 years old when the children were diagnosed and were finally enrolled in the hearing habilitation, respectively. The reasons for diagnostic evaluation of a suspected hearing loss at present study are preschool hearing tests at the Child Health Care Centres, parents suspect, and/or delayed speech and language development. Our findings suggest that a passed UNHS does not exclude a future delayed onset of hearing loss, particularly in children with risk factors. 背景：通用新生儿听力筛查 (UNHS) 有助于早期诊断听力损失。然而, 并非所有永久性儿科听力障碍都能通过UNHS 进行识别。 目的：调查曾顺利通过UNHS 检测, 但后来发生早期听力损失的儿童。 方法：回顾性地审查了从瑞典卡罗林斯卡大学医院的数据库中儿童 UNHS检测资料。分析了他们的性别、年龄、接触原因、第一次接触和最近的听力图、听力诊断、他们参加听力训练时的听力损失程度以及他们使用的助听器。 结果： 63 名出生时通过 UNHS检测, 但 后来被诊断出听力障碍的儿童被纳入研究。诊断时的平均年龄和最终参加听力训练的平均年龄分别为 3.3 岁和 3.9 岁儿童。目前研究中诊断性评估疑有听力损失的原因是, 在儿童保健中心进行的学龄前听力测试, 父母怀疑, 和/或延迟的说话和语言发育。 结论和意义：我们的研究结果表明, 顺利通过 UNHS 检测并不能排除后来的听力损失的延迟发生, 对于有危险因素的儿童尤为如此。 |
