Preschool hearing screening in Sweden. An evaluation of current practices and a presentation of new national guidelines

As the various regional authorities responsible for health care in Sweden operate independently, no knowledge was available on pre-school hearing screening available to children living in different parts of the country. The aim of this study was to carry out a survey to ascertain how preschool hearing screening was performed in the various regions of Sweden. An objective of the present paper was also to present the uniform national guidelines for pre-school hearing screening that were launched by health authorities and were based on this study.
