Abstract
The prevalence of failure to pass primary hearing screening among preterm infants was 6.8% in our study, and we found a relatively low prevalence of hearing loss (0.04%). Super hyperbilirubinemia, gestational age â¤32weeks, and respiratory failure were risk factors associated with failure of preterm infants to pass the primary hearing screening. Our results suggest that preterm infants with hyperbilirubinemia, gestational age â¤32 weeks, and respiratory failure should be closely followed.
