Babies learn from the time they are born. One of the ways they learn is from hearing. Listening in the first months of life is important as it prepares the baby for learning how to use sound and ultimately prepares them to learn how to speak. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that all babies receive Newborn Hearing Screening before they go home from the hospital. Although most babies can hear normally, 1 to 3 of every 1,000 babies are born with some degree of hearing loss. Without newborn hearing screening, it is difficult to detect hearing loss in the first months and years of a baby's life. About half of the children with hearing loss have no risk factors for it. Ears & Hearing, PA has been providing newborn hearing screenings for 15 plus years. Newborn Hearing Screening can detect possible hearing loss in the first days of a baby's life. If a possible hearing loss is found, further tests will be done to confirm the results. The two types of Screenings we use are: Auditory brainstem evoked response system (ABR) Band-aid like electrodes are placed on the baby's head to detect responses. Sounds (soft clicking) are played in the baby's ears. This test measures how the hearing nerve responds to sounds and can identify babies who have a hearing loss. Otoacoustic emissions system (OAE) A miniature earphone and microphone are placed in the ear, sounds are played and a response is measured. If a baby hears normally, an echo is reflected back into the ear canal and measured by the microphone. When a baby has a hearing loss, no echo can be measured on the OAE test. We emphasize best practices that improve quality outcomes for our client's patients. As hearing specialists, we believe that part of what sets us apart from other screening companies is our people. Come join our team and obtain experience in a position that is both meaningful and rewarding.
