Section snippets
European Consensus Statement on Hearing Screening of Pre-school and School-age Children
- 1.
Effective programs of neonatal hearing screening (NHS) are well established in most European countries [1]. However not all childhood hearing loss can be identified at birth. As neonatal screening typically screens for permanent hearing loss, the majority of which is sensorineural and a minority of which is permanent conductive hearing loss.
- 2.
The prevalence of hearing loss increases with age and includes mainly conductive hearing loss, acquired and delayed sensorineural hearing loss and auditory
