20.500.12556/DiRROS-25306 A language-independent hearing screening self-test at school-entry The usage of a tabletbased languageindependent selftest involving the recognition of ecological sounds in background noise, the Sound Ear Check, was investigated. The results of 692 children, aged between 5 and 9 years and 4 months, recruited in seven diferent countries, were used to analyze the validity and the cultural independence of test. Three diferent test procedures, namely a monaural adaptive procedure, a procedure presenting the sounds dichotically in diotic noise, and a procedure presenting all the sounds with a fxed signaltonoise ratio and a stopping rule were studied. Results showed high sensitivity and specifcity of all three procedures to detect conductive, sensorineural and mixed hearing loss> 30 dB HL. Additionally, the data collected from diferent countries were consistent, and there were no clinically relevant diferences observed between countries. Therefore, the Sound Ear Check can ofer an international hearing screening test for young children at school entry, solving the current lack of hearing screening services on a global scale. hearing loss children Sound Ear Check true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Neznano 2026-01-15 14:08:19 2026-01-15 14:08:19 2026-01-17 03:48:15 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Nasl. z nasl. zaslona; Opis vira z dne 7. 1. 2025; str. 1-14 Vol. 14, article no. 2582 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 616.21 2045-2322 10.1038/s41598-024-53026-y 221428227 RAZ_Van_den_Borre_Elien_2024.pdf RAZ_Van_den_Borre_Elien_2024.pdf 1 15DD307CEDD2BAE04E45CBEC1C67E6A4 cfe85962dad13d1948b73653be4412d213a32d6a4fce99f8d9f27c20b78bc8bd 73621a4d-f213-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=38253 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-024-53026-y 0 8051ec6f-f213-11f0-94a7-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=38254 Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana 0 0 0
