Authors' recommendations:
No benefit is demonstrated for universal preschool hearing screening within the context of a UNHS program. Potential benefit may exist for targeted screening of at-risk youth; however, the realization of these benefits may be hampered by significant challenges in ensuring timely referral, diagnosis, and treatment. No identified studies evaluated the performance and effectiveness of PHS programs in the absence of UNHS.
