Abstract

Hearing screening is one of the most viable techniques in the health screening arena. The procedures are sufficiently valid and flexible to meet the requisite goals at any age level. The yields are easily great enough to justify the relatively small expenditures for screening programs. When one considers that the proper identification of hearing loss can create fulfillment in life that would not otherwise have been possible, it is evident that these programs should be implemented universally.
