Aetiological Guidelines

Aetiological Investigation Guidelines

Guidelines for aetiological investigation of infants with congenital hearing loss identified through newborn hearing screening have been produced by a working group of BAAP/BAPA and reviewed by the NHSP Clinical Group in January 2009. They are recognised by NHSP as representing good practice and the standard for audit.

NHSP Recommended Guidelines on the British Association of Audiovestibular Physicians (BAAP) website:

• Aetiological Investigations into bilateral mild to moderate permanent hearing loss in children
• Aetiological Investigations into bilateral severe to profound permanent hearing loss in children
• Medical Evaluation of children with permanent unilateral hearing loss
• Role of the Doctor in the NHSP Team
