This thesis presents findings from a cross-sectional study examining the application of wideband acoustic immittance as a viable tool that can aid in the diagnosis of conductive hearing loss among all neonates, especially First Nations and Metis neonates, at birth. The study found that First Nations and Metis neonates had a higher newborn hearing screening fail rate and greater prevalence of likely conductive hearing loss than neonates of other ethnicities.
