The proper time for hearing screening in newborns via recordings of transiently evoked otoacoustic emission, TEOAE, has been estimated. 269 healthy neonates were investigated during five consecutive days after birth. On the first day, the results of screening were positive in 51 newborns only, 19.0%. In the following days, the number of the positive results systematically grew. In all inspected newborns, 100.0%, the TEOAE procedure was positive on the fifth day only. The fifth and following postnatal days are considered thus to be an appropriate time for hearing assessments in neonates.
