Hearing is the process of the collection of sound waves in the atmosphere by the ear, resulting in the perception of a certain character and meaning in the related centers in the brain. Hearing loss is one of the most frequently seen congenital anomalies in infants, with an incidence varying between 1/1000 to 3/1000 of healthy newborns and infants admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) have an additional risk of hearing loss. Infants at NICU form an important target group for hearing screening. Of the hearing screening methods of the newborn, two are widely accepted: Evoked Autoacustic Emission (EOAEs) and Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR).
ÖZET
Atmosferde meydana gelen ses dalgalarının kulağımız tarafından toplanmasından beyin- deki merkezlerde karakter ve anlam olarak algılanmasına kadar olan süreç işitme olarak adlandırılır. İşitme kaybı, 1/1000 ile 3/1000 arasında değişen oranla yenidoğan bebekler- de en sık görülen konjenital anomalilerden biridir ve yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde (YDYBÜ) yatış bu riski arttırır. Bu nedenle YDYBÜ’de izlenen bebekler işitme taraması için hedef kitlelerden biridir. Yenidoğan döneminde kabul edilen iki işitme tarama yöntemi vardır: Uyarılmış Otoakustik Emisyonlar (EOAEs) ve İşitsel Beyinsapı Yanıtı (ABR).
Anahtar Kelimeler: İşitme kaybı; Yenidoğan taraması; Konjenital.

Infants at NICU form an important target group for hearing screening. Of the hea- ring screening methods of the newborn, two are widely accepted: Evoked Autoacustic Emission (EOAEs) and Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR).
