Abstrakt		Over the past ten years, scientists and clinicians have demonstrated the feasibility, validity, reliability and efficacy of early detection of hearing loss in infants by universal newborn hearing screening. At the Celje General Hospital, this type of screening was introduced in August 2002. All newborns, except for those requiring neonatal intensive care, who are screened later during the first month of age, receive hearing screening before discharge from the hospital. Infants who do not pass the screening are subjected to appropriate audiologic and medical evaluation in order to confirm their hearing loss before three months of age. The objective is for all infants with a permanent hearing loss to receive the necessary services before six months of age. A screening programme for newborns has been developed and medical professionals in our region are regularly informed about it. Physicians providing care for infants and young children must understand the importance of abnormal screening test results and of adequate monitoring for infants who require follow-up.
Izvleček		V zadnjih desetih letih so znanstveniki in kliniki predstavili možnosti, pomembnost, zanesljivost in učinkovitost zgodnjega odkrivanja naglušnosti s pomočjo univerzalnega presejalnega testiranja. V Splošni bolnišnici Celje smo začeli izvajati univerzalni presejalni test avgusta 2002. Vse novorojenčke testiramo pred odpustom iz porodnišnice, razen tistih, ki potrebujejo intenzivno poporodno zdravljenje. Te presejemo na naglušnost kasneje, do starosti enega meseca. Dojenčke, pri katerih je test pozitiven, vključimo v natančno avdiološko in medicinsko obravnavo in jim ugotovimo okvaro do treh mesecev starosti. Želimo, da bi bili naglušni otroci ustrezno oskrbljeni pred starostjo šestih mesecev. Oblikujemo program za zgodnje odkrivanje naglušnosti in o njem redno obveščamo zdravstvene delavce v naši regiji. Zdravniki, ki skrbijo za dojenčke in majhne otroke, morajo vedeti, kaj pomeni pozitiven presejalni test in zakaj je treba otrokom s pokazatelji tveganja za naglušnost nuditi dodatne preglede.
