Methods: Evaluation of 102 newborns from a maternity hospital, who stayed in the well-baby nursery and did not have risk indicators for hearing loss. The procedures involved wideband tympanometry and TEOAEs performed at ambient pressure (AP) and at a pressure corresponding to maximum compliance (PP). Newborns were then divided into three groups according to their AP and PP results: G1 (PASS\/PASS), G2 (FAIL\/PASS), and G3 (FAIL\/FAIL). Results: Comparing the three groups, pressurization improved the pass rate for G2 only. For wideband absorbance, differences were statistically significant for frequencies of 2, 3, and 6 kHz, with lower values under the AP condition. For TEOAEs, the differences were statistically significant in all bands, with lower values under the AP condition. Conclusions: Pressurization was effective in detecting more TEOAEs in G2, thus reducing the number of failures in neonatal hearing screening and reducing the need to return for retesting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children11111290","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,25]],"date-time":"2024-10-25T10:50:08Z","timestamp":1729853408000},"page":"1290","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Neonatal Hearing Screening Using Wideband Absorbance and Otoacoustic Emissions Measured Under Ambient and Pressurized Conditions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Carolina Ver\u00f4nica Lino","family":"Novelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, State University of Campinas, Campinas, SP 13083-887, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3647-3999","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Milaine Dominici","family":"Sanfins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Speech-Hearing-Language, Universidade Federal de S\u00e3o Paulo, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP 04044-020, Brazil"},{"name":"Post-Graduate Program in Clinical Audiology, Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa Albert Einstein, S\u00e3o Paulo, SP 05652-000, Brazil"},{"name":"Department of Teleaudiology and Screening, World Hearing Center, Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing, 05-830 Kajetany, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4978-1915","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Piotr Henryk","family":"Skar\u017cy\u0144ski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Teleaudiology and Screening, World Hearing Center, Institute of Physiology and Pathology of Hearing, 05-830 Kajetany, Poland"},{"name":"ENT Department, Maria Curie-Sk\u0142odowska University, 20-031 Lublin, Poland"},{"name":"MEDINCUS International Hearing and Speech Center, 05-830 Kajetany, Poland"},{"name":"Department of Otolaryngology, Institute of Sensory Organs, 05-830 Warsaw, Poland"},{"name":"Heart Failure and Cardiac Rehabilitation Department, Medical University of Warsaw, 02-091 Warsaw, Poland"},{"name":"World Hearing Center, 05-830 Kajetany, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3340-1698","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdalena Beata","family":"Skar\u017cy\u0144ska","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacotherapy and Pharmaceutical Care, Medical University of Warsaw, 02-091 Warsaw, Poland"},{"name":"Institute of Sensory Organs, 05-830 Kajetany, Poland"},{"name":"Center of Hearing and Speech, 05-830 Nadarzyn, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tha\u00eds Antonelli","family":"Diniz-Hein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, State University of Campinas, Campinas, SP 13083-887, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7456-9502","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Francisca","family":"Colella-Santos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medical Sciences, State University of Campinas, Campinas, SP 13083-887, Brazil"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"234","article-title":"Frequency Of Congenital Hearing Loss in Neonates","volume":"30","author":"Ahmed","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
