Objective: To assess the suitability of newborn hearing screening brochures by evaluating current state-level brochures and pregnant people's understanding of screening result terminology.
Design: In Study 1, state-level brochures were evaluated based on readability, design, picture appropriateness, and use of the word "refer." In Study 2, pregnant people completed a questionnaire that queried their understanding of and expected anxiety about three newborn hearing screening outcomes ("refer," "did not pass," and "pass").
Correlation of air-bone gap and size of Enlarged Vestibular Aqueduct in children.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between the size of the vestibular aqueduct (EVA) and the audiometric air-bone gap (ABG) in children with hearing loss due to EVA, using CT measurements of the aqueduct's width.
- It included 55 children diagnosed with unilateral or bilateral EVA and aimed to analyze the correlation between EVA measurements and ABG at specific frequencies.
- The results showed positive correlations, suggesting that larger EVA sizes are linked to greater ABGs, supporting the idea that ABGs can predict the severity of inner ear malformations in kids.
