ABSTRACT
Recent technological advances have made feasible universal newborn hearing screening and therefore early detection of permanent childhood hearing impairment. Over the past three years, new information has been published on whether early intervention is beneficial, the possibility of harm arising from newborn screening, and its cost. Dramatic progress has been made in the large scale implementation of universal screening in many parts of the western world.

Abbreviations: AABR, automated auditory brainstem response; PCHI, permanent childhood hearing impairment; TEOAE, transient evoked otoacoustic emission; UNHS, universal newborn hearing screening

Keywords: auditory brainstem response; hearing loss; screening; transient evoked otoacoustic emissions
