What is the reason why newborn disease screening fails?

Patient's question:

I carefully checked the newborn disease screening twice at the county maternal and child health hospital, but it didn't pass. Could you please explain what happens if the newborn disease screening doesn't pass?

Doctor's answer:

Based on the careful examination results above, it is inferred that if a baby fails hearing tests such as Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) or Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) more than twice, there may be a risk of hearing abnormalities. It is best to promptly visit a provincial children's hospital for further hearing screening, definitive diagnosis, and thorough examinations to identify the cause. If there is a hearing issue, timely treatment should be provided. Newborn diseases can cause significant harm to children. Once family members notice symptoms in their child, they should immediately take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis. At the same time, they should pay close attention to the child's care, including proper diet and avoiding cold foods. It is hoped that the child can receive effective treatment and recover quickly!
