Abstract

Universal neonatal hearing screening aims to detect the 1 in 1000 babies born in the UK with a permanent hearing loss detectable at birth. However, children may present later to the paediatrician with hearing difficulties. This article aims to discuss the clinical assessment of hearing and provides an overview of the management options available in the treatment of hearing loss, including amplification, grommet insertion, bone anchored hearing aids and cochlear implantation.
