Education in hearing health and child research through otoacoustic emissions

Hearing loss negatively affects the development of children, making early intervention essential. National Law No. 25415/2001 establishes the right of every child to have their hearing ability studied at an early age, making hearing tests mandatory before the third month of life.

description Hearing loss negatively affects the development of children, making early intervention essential. National Law No. 25415/2001 establishes the right of every child to have their hearing ability studied at an early age, making hearing tests mandatory before the third month of life. In 2021, we implemented a project of Compromiso Social Estudiantil called "Education in hearing health and research in children through otoacoustic emissions". The aim of the project was to carry out actions related to the extension, at first, carrying out the hearing test called Otoacoustic Emissions (OEAs) on children  from 0 to 3 years of age and, secondly, the training of advanced students of the Degree in Fonoaudiología of the Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, about the promotion of hearing health, neonatal hearing screening and the OEAs test. We tested 29 patients, of whom 3 failed the test, in all cases adults in charge were told about the procedure to follow. The project encompassed 156 students, most of whom completed all of the activities and shared this extension experience. These types of projects allow identifying problems, demands in society and, as professionals, teachers and researchers, of taking actions to improve the community's quality of life.

La hipoacusia en recién nacidos incide negativamente en el desarrollo, siendo la intervención temprana imprescindible. La ley nacional N° 25.415/2001, establece el derecho de todo niño a que se estudie tempranamente su audición, instaurando la obligatoriedad de realizar estudios auditivos antes del tercer mes de vida. En el año 2021, se llevó a cabo un proyecto de Compromiso Social Estudiantil denominado “Educación en salud auditiva y pesquisa en niños mediante otoemisiones acústicas”. El proyecto tuvo como propósito ejecutar acciones vinculadas con la extensión, por un lado, la realización de la prueba auditiva denominada Otoemisiones acústicas (OEAs) a niños de 0 a 3 años y, por otro lado, la formación de estudiantes avanzados de la Licenciatura en Fonoaudiología de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, sobre la promoción de la salud auditiva, la pesquisa auditiva neonatal y la prueba de OEAs. Este proyecto permitió valorar la audición de 29 niños, de los cuales 3 no pasaron la prueba por lo que se les indicó el procedimiento a seguir a los adultos a cargo. Formaron parte de la experiencia extensionista 156 estudiantes de Fonoaudiología, que mayormente realizaron todas las actividades propuestas. Este tipo de proyectos permiten identificar problemas y demandas en la sociedad y desde el rol de profesionales, docentes e investigadores llevar a cabo actividades que permitan mejorar la calidad de vida de la comunidad.
