Abstract

Objective: Congenital hearing loss is one of the most common major abnormalities present at birth. Early diagnose is very important. In this study a comparison of five different newborn hearing screening protocols are made to determine the most suitable screening protocol which can form a model for newborn hearing screenings in Turkey's maternity hospitals.
