Abstract

A hearing is a necessity for communication between humans. Hearing loss that occurs at preschool age can affect the development of speech, social, and emotional and may severely impact their academic achievement in the long run. In the present days, objective hearing can be examined as early as possible using a relatively safe and easy-to-use tool, and one of them is otoacoustic emission (OAE). It is a descriptive study with a crossectional design. The research aims to determine hearing disorder in the newborns using OAE. This research was conducted in Sundari Hospital and Muhammadiyah Hospital in Medan, North Sumatera. Forty- eight newborn were included in this study. The result indicated that 41.6% of newborns showed bilateral refer, and 41.67% had a risk factor. The signifies the importance of early hearing screening using OAE in newborns, even though refers is not an absolute indication of hearing loss, but it was necessary to do follow -ups and further examinations to them. In conclusion, OAE may be used as a standard tool to detect the hearing disorder in newborns as early as possible.
