Kolethekkat AA, Al Abri R, Hlaiwah O, et al. - Researchers conducted a retrospective review to evaluate the effectiveness of the current universal neonatal hearing screening program in a tertiary medical institution in Oman, identify its limitations and drawbacks, and investigate their causative factors. For this investigation, they analyzed the hearing screening of 12,743 live babies born between January 2016 and December 2018. Data reported that the true prevalence of hearing loss was 4.0 in 1,000 and the overall compliance with amplification was 30.2%. According to findings, neonatal hearing screening program coverage had not yet met the required goal of 95%. The performance indicators fell under the international benchmark as well. The identified causative factors need to be addressed. There is a need to incorporate effective communication and well-maintained tracking systems.
