Summary

Background: Hearing is essential to the normal speech and language development. The purpose of newborn hearing screening is the early detection and rehabilitation of hearing loss. Universal newborn hearing screening is well established in many countries over the world. Unfortunately, the Czech Republic does not belong to them. Moravian-Silesian Region was the very first area, in which universal newborn hearing screening was established at the regional level. It was in 2010. Since then, its results have been monitored and published, last publicly reported results are from 2016.

Methods: Retrospective analysis of hearing screening of all newborns born in Moravian-Silesian Region in 2017 and 2018.

Results: Altogether 11646 children were born in Moravian-Silesian Region in 2017. A total of 11520 (98.92%) were examined. Six children from 426 did not come to re-screening, 325 children were referred to the regional screening center, 280 children came. Compliance was 98.83% and 86.15% respectively. Ten children (0.09%) were diagnosed with permanent hearing loss, which was compensated by hearing aids in nine children and by cochlear implantation in one child. Nine children remain in follow-up. Altogether 11920 children were born in Moravian-Silesian Region in 2018. A total of 11872 (99.6%) were examined. Thirty-five children from 427 did not come to re-screening, 317 children were referred to the regional screening center, 299 children came. Compliance was 91.8% and 94.32 % respectively. Thirteen children (0.11%) were diagnosed with permanent hearing loss, which was compensated by hearing aids in ten children and by cochlear implantation in three children. Nine children remain in follow-up.

Conclusion: The newborn hearing screening has been functioning for a long time in Moravian-Silesian Region and is still essential. However, there is still room for improvement as not all newborns were examined. This is particularly due to the low parents´ compliance.
