    BACKGROUND: Screening for hearing loss in English children at entry to school (age 5-6 years) is usually by pure tone audiometry sweep undertaken by school nurses. This study aimed to compare the validity and screening rates of pure tone audiometry with impedance screening in these children. METHODS: Two stage pure tone audiometry and impedance methods of screening were compared in 610 school entry children from 19 infant schools in north east En…

  • Evaluation of pure tone audiometry and impedance screening in infant schoolchildren

    I Holtby, D P ForsterARTICLEJournal of Epidemiology and…1992References: 8

    STUDY OBJECTIVE--The aims were (1) to evaluate impedance measurements against pure tone audiometry as a screening method for the detection of middle ear changes associated with hearing loss in infant school children; (2) to estimate the costs of the health authority of each method. DESIGN--The study involved two stage screening in which both methods were offered, pure tone audiometry being carried out by school nurses and impedance screening by a…
