During a 7-year period beginning in 1967, approximately 40,000 infants born in Jerusalem were screened for hearing impairment. The hearing of all infants who visited the well-baby clinics at the age of 7-9 months (85% of the child population) was tested and a set of selective criteria was applied to them to detect the children at risk of hearing impairment. Those children suspected of having a hearing impairment were followed up at the Speech and Hearing Center of the Hadassah University Hospital. 69 children were identified as having substantial hearing impairment (moderate to profound); the distribution of risk factors among them is presented. Rehabilitation was carried out from infancy to preschool age, at which time the children were enrolled in suitable educational frameworks. The role of the parents was crucial. At the age of 6 years, many of the hearing-impaired children were integrated into the elementary school system; others attended the School for the Deaf or special institutions. The distribution of the hearing-impaired children in the various school systems is discussed.
从1967年开始的7年时间里，耶路撒冷约40000名新生儿接受了听力障碍筛查。对所有在7至9个月大时前往母婴诊所的婴儿（占儿童总数的85%）进行了听力测试，并对他们应用了一套筛选标准，以检测有听力障碍风险的儿童。那些疑似有听力障碍的儿童在哈达萨大学医院言语与听力中心接受随访。69名儿童被确定有严重听力障碍（中度至重度）；文中列出了他们的风险因素分布情况。从婴儿期到学龄前都进行了康复治疗，那时孩子们被纳入了合适的教育体系。父母的作用至关重要。6岁时，许多听力受损儿童融入了小学教育体系；其他儿童则进入了聋人学校或特殊机构。文中讨论了听力受损儿童在不同学校体系中的分布情况。
