Article Synopsis
- Hearing is crucial for newborn development, and Brazil's Universal Neonatal Hearing Screening (UNHS) aims to detect hearing loss early to support children's hearing health, especially in relation to STIs like congenital syphilis and HIV.
- A study from two maternity hospitals in Greater Florianópolis analyzed 1,211 newborns referred for hearing retests between 2018 and 2022, revealing that 283 had congenital syphilis or HIV, with congenital syphilis being the most common.
- UNHS is effective in monitoring newborn hearing health, showing that most infants passed retests, underscoring the importance of retesting and public health initiatives in improving neonatal health outcomes.
Introduction: Hearing loss in childhood compromises a child's auditory, linguistic, and social skill development. Stimulation and early intervention through therapy and the use of personal sound amplification devices (PSAPs) are important for improving communication.
Purpose: To verify the effectiveness of speech therapy intervention on the auditory and linguistic skills of Brazilian children aged between 6 and 8 years using PSAPs.
