Auditory screening tests, which are essential for the early detection of hearing loss, are currently being implemented, aiming at the earliest possible intervention. The Newborns Hearing Screening is the first, effective, rapid and noninvasive auditory screening test to be performed. The multifrequency tympanometry test is also important for auditory evaluation, up to seven months of age, since with a specific probe (1000 Hz) the changes in the middle ear (namely the presence of otitis media) are detected. Later in school age, the Auditory Screening at School Age is also important, because audiological pathologies can be detected and controlled when the intervention is timely.engconference object
