Abstract

Summary The prevalence of hearing loss in newborns and infants is estimated between 1 to 3.47 cases per 1000 live births. Neonatal screening for hearing loss and audiological evaluation are becoming more extensively carried out. However, there is no consensus regarding the use of audiometry and other electrophysiological tests in current practices. This article is intended to provide professionals with recommendations about the "best practice" based on consensus opinion of the session's speakers, and a review of the literature on the efficacy of various assessment options for children with hearing loss.
