Abstract
Abstract With the adoption of the Universal Neonatal Hearing Screening (UNHS) in the early 1990s, the approach to infant deafness has completely changed. The discussions of previous decades about the “infantile depistage” of deafness, the categories of infants “at risk,” and the age of rehabilitative intervention, have been completely reversed. Today, the diagnosis of infantile hearing loss has settled around the first 3 months of life, and consequently so has the eventual start of the rehabilitative process. Similar questions to UNHS are posed for the probable impact of hearing screening in the elderly and specially in groups where cognitive impairment is present. This short review paper summarizes various issues and developments in the area of newborn and adult hearing screening.
