title: [Preliminary assessment of transient evoked acoustic emissions (TEOAE) in newborns depending on selected parameters of delivery complications with particular analysis of newborns with hypotrophy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Transient evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) is accepted as a good and universal test for screening of the cochlea function in newborns. This method is particularly useful in the newborn group with risk-factors of hearing losses. Early identification of the cochlear pathology gives possibility of supplying with hearing aid instrument and rehabilitation.
  
  
  METHODS
  In this study 300 newborns was tested with TEOAE, besides such parameters as birth mass, Apgar scale, bilirubinemy were analysed. Then the same results of the newborns with hypotrophy consisted of 40 subjects were analysed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The study did not indicate any tendency of changing TEOAE in particular parts within the cochlea in newborns with hypotrophy. Hypotrophy does not seem to influence the cochlea function monitored by TEOAE half-octave band analysis.
