Sažetak
Approximately 1 infant per 1,000 is born with a significant degree of hearing loss. About 60 percent of impairments is accepted to be present before infants are discharged from hosipital after birth and neonatal screening limited to the "high risk" group will, at best, identify only 50% of the congenitally hearing impaired infants. That is why universal neonatal screening seems to be the best choice for early and effective detection of hearing impairment. The author suggests a methodology of hearing screening and a model which will be applied in one neonatal department in Zagreb. The target is to examine the effectiveness of the model and, depending of the results, to apply the model in all newborn departments in Zagreb and later in the whole country.
