“…This combined procedure led to an improvement of the specificity to over 97%. Advantages of a two-stage procedure have also been reported elsewhere [21] . For years, two-stage protocols have been considered the most cost-efficient ones, as confirmed also in this study.…”

The decision to mandate, finance, and implement a universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) requires the evaluation of its therapy-directed benefit by comparing (1) a procedure employing a UNHS with (2) a targeted screening for at-risk babies for neonatal hearing disorders and (3) a procedure without systematic screening. In a cohort study the outcome of the UNHS program of Hessen in 2005 with 17,439 screened newborns was analyzed. Validity, effectiveness, and efficiency were evaluated and compared to a sample of 98 Hessian and 355 German children who were detected in 2005 as hearing-impaired but not by an UNHS. The UNHS group had a PASS rate of 97.0%. Forty-nine hearing-impaired children were diagnosed at a median age of 3.1 months and treated at a median age of 3.5 months. Corresponding values for the Hessian non-UNHS group were 17.8 and 21.0 months. For Germany the median age at diagnosis was 39.0 months. The age at therapy onset correlated negatively with parameters of speech/language and psychosocial development. A targeted screening would have resulted in a low sensitivity of 65.3%. Hence, a UNHS is the most effective way to an early therapy of neonatal hearing disorders with an optimal outcome.

The Interdisciplinary Consensus Conference for Newborn Hearing Screening (IKKNHS) has worked out joint recommendations for universal hearing screening of newborns. In the consensus paper, 11 professional associations and scientific societies in the fields of gynecology and obstetrics, ENT, pediatrics, and phoniatrics and pedaudiology came to an agreement on how to implement newborn hearing screening in Germany. The paper deals with the following topics: goals of universal newborn hearing screening, target group of hearing screening, schedule for screening, personnel involved in the screening program, technologies and framework conditions of hearing screening, documentation, continuous quality control of screening, confirmation diagnostics for conspicuous test subjects, motivation to take part in screening, information on newborn hearing screening, tracking, various infrastructural situations in urban and rural regions, follow-up care, in-patient vs. out-patient screening, cost factors of screening, reporting children with permanent hearing loss to the German Central Registry for hearing loss in children.
