Excerpt

To the Editor: Early detection of hearing loss in infants is crucial for their developmental trajectory, especially cognitive, linguistic and social components [1]. In India, where the prevalence of hearing disabilities among children is relatively high, early identification through newborn screening becomes integral component of neonatal care allowing for optimal outcomes [2]. We conducted a retrospective study comparing otoacoustic emission (OAE) and automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) screening methods, aiming to find out the most effective approach for early identification of hearing impairment in neonates. …
