摘要：1.Introduction
Permanent sensorineural hearing loss in infants and children pre-sents a significant challenge as it can negatively impact speech,language development,and education.Hearing loss occurs in about 1-3 out of every 1000 live births in healthy infants and in 2-4 out of 100 infants who receive care in a neonatal intensive care unit(NICU)(Ohl et al.,2009).Premature birth is the major cause for prolonged NICU stays or hospitalizations in newborns(Schindler et al.,2017).Newborn hearing screening is gaining momentum in developing countries such as India,in spite of a shortage of audiologists and limited infrastructure(Ramkuamar,2019;Galhotra and Sahu,2019).Newborn hearing screening programs are implemented in a few tertiary care hospitals,and ABR screening is recommended for preterm infants and infants who have been in the NICU for more than 5 days.
