Results of an early hearing detection program.

Introduction And Objectives: Neonatal hearing loss is a public health problem that meets the requirements for submission to universal screening. Our objective was to analyse the results of the early hearing detection and intervention program implemented at our centre between January 2007 and December 2010.

Methods: We studied 26,717 newborns during the period mentioned, using transient otoacoustic emissions (TOAEs) for the screening.
