目的：轻度或轻度听力损失已被认为是影响言语、语言、学习和学术成果的因素，但轻度感音神经性听力损失（SNHL）的风险因素尚未确定。本研究的两个具体目的是（1）描述轻度-轻度双侧SNHL儿童的听力测定和临床特征;（2）比较轻度-轻度SNHL儿童与听力正常（NH）儿童先天性或获得性听力损失的潜在危险因素。设计：完成了对6581名澳大利亚小学1年级和5年级入学儿童的横断面整群抽样调查。对儿童进行了轻微-轻度SNHL筛查，定义为较好耳的低频和/或高频纯音平均值为16至40 dB HL，伴有气骨间隙
Objectives: Slight or mild hearing loss has been posited as a factor affecting speech, language, learning, and academic outcomes, but the risk factors for slight-mild sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) have not been ascertained. The two specific aims for this research were (1) to describe the audiometric and clinical characteristics of children identified with slight-mild bilateral SNHL and (2) to compare children with slight-mild SNHL with those with normal hearing (NH) with respect to potential risk factors for congenital or acquired for hearing loss.Design: A cross-sectional cluster sample survey of 6581 children enrolled in years 1 and 5 of Australian elementary school was completed. Children were screened for slight-mild SNHL, defined as a low-and/or high-frequency pure-tone average of 16 to 40 dB HL in the better ear, with air-bone gaps
