OBJECTIVE: Infants diagnosed with a conductive hearing loss (CHL) are at increased risk of developmental delays. Using a sample of infants diagnosed with CHL through UNHS, this study aimed to investigate the relationship between specific demographic or clinical characteristics and 1) occasions of service to reach a hearing diagnosis and 2) the profile of CHL. METHODS: Retrospective analysis was conducted for all infants with CHL born between 01/01/2007 and 31/12/2018 who had received UNHS. Chi squared analysis was conducted on data from 1208 records. RESULTS: Infants with ≥1 risk factor for hearing loss were more likely to attend more than three occasions of service. Infants who were bilateral refer/medical exclusion, Torres Strait Islander, had ≥1 risk factors for hearing loss or were born pre-term had greater proportions of bilateral CHL than unilateral CHL. Mild to moderate was the most frequent degree of CHL, although a unilateral or bilateral CHL did not have an association with the severity of CHL. Compared to other risk factors, infants with a syndrome had greater proportions of bilateral than unilateral CHL. Risk factors of craniofacial abnormality, prolonged ventilation, or syndrome had greater proportions of mild to moderate CHL than moderate or greater. On average, infants were diagnosed with a CHL at 37.29 weeks of age. CONCLUSION: These findings highlight the relationship between clinical/demographic characteristics and occasions of service to diagnose CHL in children, including the CHL profile. An understanding of this relationship may help clinicians to better plan, assess and manage infants diagnosed with a CHL through UNHS.
