title: [Establishment of method and evaluated criteria for newborn hearing screening in the gross-roots hospital].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To study a optimal method and pass criterion for newborn hearing screening.
  
  
  METHODS
  Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions(TEOAE) was used for hearing screening in 1,277 (2,554 ears) newborns. The pass criterion was defined as signal-noise-ratio(SNR) > or = 3 dB in 3 of 4 frequency bands.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Pass rates were 89.37%. The best tested time at 2-4 days after birth.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  TEOAE may be an ideal method for newborn hearing screening, SNR > or = 3 dB for frequency bands was the appropriate pass criteria.
