Hearing screening is one of the most viable techniques in the health screening arena. The procedures are sufficiently valid and flexible to meet the requisite goals at any age level. The yields are easily great enough to justify the relatively small expenditures for screening programs. When one considers that the proper identification of hearing loss can create fulfillment in life that would not otherwise have been possible, it is evident that these programs should be implemented universally.
听力筛查是健康筛查领域中最可行的技术之一。这些程序具有足够的有效性和灵活性，能够满足任何年龄段的必要目标。筛查结果很容易就足以证明为筛查项目投入相对较少的费用是合理的。当人们考虑到正确识别听力损失能够带来原本不可能实现的生活满足感时，显然这些项目应该普遍实施。
