Newborn hearing screening knowledge
* The importance of newborn hearing screening:
Hearing impairment is a common birth defect. The incidence of bilateral hearing impairment in normal newborns is about 0.1‰-0.3‰. Among the newborns who were rescued in the intensive care unit, the incidence of hearing impairment was as high as 22.6%.

Through screening, early detection, early diagnosis and early intervention of hearing impairment in the neonatal period or infancy can minimize the disability caused by hearing problems. Not dumb.
