Abstract

This article deals with challenges of hearing screening in newborns and infants (children in the first year of life). Data on the current opportunities of hearing screening in newborns are presented, and specificities of hearing abilities diagnostics in premature infants born with a very low and extremely low body weight are discussed. Emphasis is made on prospects for improving the audiological screening system.
