Article Synopsis
- Temporary conductive hearing loss in newborns due to vernix buildup can lead to false-positive hearing test results.
- A study of 42 newborns who failed initial screenings showed that after cleaning the vernix, a significant number passed rescreening.
- The overall false-positive rate in the hospital decreased dramatically, indicating that cleaning the ear canal before discharge can reduce unnecessary follow-ups and anxiety for parents.
