Newborn Hearing Diagnostics – Utilising all of our tools – Mentor Package Level 3

Presentation Outcomes:

It is undisputed how universal newborn screening has changed the landscape of hearing impairment. Infants are identified within hours of their birth allowing early identification of hearing sensitivity. Currently, we have a tool box of diagnostic tools – some old standbys and others emerging. This session will review the gold-standard tests and discuss the new and emerging technology that will elevate our diagnostic ability to a higher standard.

After this presentation you will have an understanding of:

• The hearing assessment tools that are used for newborn hearing assessments
• New and emerging assessment tools that are being trialled for the use in newborn hearing assessments
