Abstrakt		Early identification of hearing impairment results in an earlier initiation of the necessary interventions and better developmental outcomes. Introduction of universal neonatal hearing screening is necessary in order to achieve this goal. In Slovenia, TOAE recording has been used in hospital based maternity unit screens since 1999. A total of 124 infants have been referred to the audiology unit of the University Department of Otorhinolaryngology of Ljubljana because TOAE were absent in their screening tests. With other hearing tests, hearing impairment was confirmed in 45 (36.29%) infants, among whom 17 were deaf. Neonatal hearing screening thus led to the identification of hearing impairment within the first few months of life.
Izvleček		Zgodnje prepoznavanje naglušnosti in gluhosti pripomore k zgodnjemu zdravljenju in/ali habilitaciji ter s tem manjšim negativnim posledicam, ki jih povzroča okvara sluha. Zato je potreben aktivni pristop zdravstvene službe in prebira takoj po rojstvu. Beleženje zvočnega sevanja ušesa (TOAE) je objektivni test prebire, ki se izvaja v slovenskih porodnišnicah od leta 1999. V avdiološki ambulanti Klinike za otorinolaringologijo in cervikofacialno kirurgijo v Ljubljani smo preiskali sluh 124 dojenčkom, pri katerih TOAE v porodnišnici ni bila izzivna. Slab sluh je imelo 45 (36,29%) dojenčkov, od teh je bilo 17 gluhih. Prebira novorojenčkov s TOAE je pripomogla, da je prepoznavanje in nadaljnja obravnava dojenčkov z okvarjenim sluhom stekla že v prvih mesecih po rojstvu.
