學校能否檢測輕度聽力損失？篩檢準確性與可行性評估

// Can schools detect mild hearing loss? Evaluating screening accuracy and feasibility

本研究評估阿拉斯加偏鄉學校使用15分貝與20分貝聽力篩檢門檻，以檢測輕度聽力損失｜15分貝篩檢靈敏度較高，但特異性較低，依世界衛生組織更新標準（純音平均聽力閾值PTA≥20分貝）識別更多輕度損失個案｜15分貝篩檢雖增加檢出率，但誤判率也提高，顯示在嘈雜校園環境需改進更精確的篩檢方法。

// This study evaluated hearing screening at 15 dB versus 20 dB thresholds in rural Alaskan schools to detect mild hearing loss. Screening at 15 dB was more sensitive but less specific, identifying more children with mild loss using the updated WHO definition (PTA ≥20 dB). The updated WHO criteria detected more cases than the former standard (PTA >25 dB). While 15 dB screening increased detection, it also raised false positives, emphasizing the need for better screening tools in noisy school settings.
