The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of the newborn-hearing screening program (NHSP) in our institute, investigate the risk factors and their correlation to congenital hearing loss (CHL). Newborns who admitted to our clinic for NHSP from June 2014 to December 2014 were included in the study. After the test parents were asked to fill a questionnaire about the risk factors of CHL. Test results and referral rate were compared with risk factors. One thousand consecutive babies were included in the study. The overall referral rate was 3.5%. Mechanic ventilation, history of familial CHL and familial consanguinity were found to be significantly related to CHL.In the light of our results we can conclude that getting access to every newborn for hearing screening is mandatory and targeting the risk factors and informing the family about the follow-up period is important for diagnosing the delayed hearing impairment.
