Neonatal hearing screening in Albania: results from an ongoing universal screening program.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:In this study, we aimed to explore a variation of the NTT standard protocol that would be more beneficial for those patients with hearing loss >50 dB HL in the worst ear (average hearing thresholds at 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 KHz). STUDY SAMPLE:This study involved 26 subjects who had previously undergone NTT at a si...
