International conference on newborn hearing screening, diagnosis and intervention (Milan, 12-14 October 2000)

Ziel

Within the past 3-4 years, scientists and clinicians have demonstrated the feasibility, reliability, and effectiveness of early detection of infants with hearing loss through universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS ) based on otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). OAE technology has been entirely developed in the EU also as a result of previous EC projects (Biomedicine & Health). UNHS is becoming a standard of care in the most advanced maternity clinics.

OAEs are produced by the outer hair cells. New techniques developed in the EU are already being applied by European SMEs but further work is needed to maintain the technical and scientific lead of the EU. The International Conference on Newborn Hearing Screening, Diagnosis and Intervention - NHS2000, will be the ideal forum to discuss all the issues above and to set up the new directions of research in the area.
