The necessity of early identification of hearing loss has long been urged by otolaryngologists, pediatricians, audiologists, and others working with the deaf. Yet there have been difficulties in implementing accurate and cost-effective newborn hearing screening programs. This article reviews some of the history of infant screening programs, discusses various areas of research related to stimulus and response parameters, and outlines a screening program, designed to fit new recommended procedures, currently under way in Halifax.
