Development of a screening service for neonatal ear deformity using neonatal hearing screeners and an information leaflet.

Objectives: Early splinting of neonatal ear deformities has been proven to be successful but the opportunity to splint is frequently missed due to lack of awareness amongst healthcare personnel. We aimed to develop a regional screening service using neonatal hearing screeners and an information leaflet to allow for the early detection and treatment of such children.

Methods: We created an information leaflet that was distributed by hearing screeners to all parents in Greater Glasgow at the time of the child's neonatal hearing assessment, with a contact number allowing parents to self refer.
