Effectiveness of targeted surveillance to identify moderate to profound permanent childhood hearing impairment in babies with risk factors who pass newborn screening.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Establish up-to-date evidence-based guidelines for recommending cochlear implantation for young children. DESIGN:Speech perception results for early-implanted children were compared to children using traditional amplification. Equivalent pure-tone average (PTA) hearing loss for cochlear implant (CI) users wa...
