[Screening tests in childhood. Hearing screening--a necessity?].
The incidence of hearing loss in early childhood is not exactly defined in the Federal Republic of Germany. There are only some publications on this problem giving incidental information. By analysing this sparse data we tried to determine whether in incidence of hearing loss also applies to the German region. It appears necessary that hearing loss is screened in Germany, considering that other diseases having a lower incidence are also screened.
