W H McFarland et al. J Speech Hear Disord. 1980 Nov.

Abstract

A newborn hearing screening technique (the Crib-o-gram) originally proposed by Simmons and Russ (1974) is described. The number of babies tested has now grown to over 12,000. The report presents follow-up data on the Crib-o-grain hearing screening program at Stanford University Medical Center. Improvements in test procedure and scoring have resulted in a current detection rate of 93%.
