Course introduction:
The UK NHS Newborn Hearing Screening Program (NHSP) has been a huge success, but every now and then parents and clinicians question whether the NHSP protocol is optimal in identifying all children with hearing loss. This talk will focus on challenges and opportunities around the identification of Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder.

Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this seminar the participants will be able to:
• Discuss epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, clinical presentation and prognosis of ANSD in paediatric population
• Critically evaluate the evidence for and against reviewing the current NHSP protocol
• Consider possibilities of better identifying and diagnosing ANSD in young infants

  • Establishing a Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Program

    Thoughtful and comprehensive content 5

    My favorite point the presenter made was that multiple layers of screening are to be avoided. Intuitively, re-screenings seem worthwhile because we expect the false positive rate to decrease, but as she points out the false negative rate will also increase. It's better to proceed with diagnostic testing once the baby fails a screening to keep the false negative rate as close to zero as possible. She didn't specifically address re-screens while the baby is still at the hospital, but I'm assuming she would endorse those, and they seem to be standard practice.

  • Fall risk assessment in elderly

    Very helpful to my current aging patient population 5

    I used to ask my patients, have you fallen in the last year. Now, I will ask "Have you fallen in the last 6 months" as part of my case history.
