Therefore, one option is to perform the evaluation gradually, in newborns and risk infants in the hospital as inpatients, and with an outpatient approach. Goal: To compare the results of selective hearing screening in two different approaches: outpatient and inpatient, in an infant population with risk indicators for hearing loss. Method: It was analyzed two databases, the first one with the results of extenso in a maternity with 284 newborns and infants, and the second one, a database of an university audiological clinic with 398 newborns and infants. The following variables were analyzed: extensor according to the Brazilian multiprofessional health hearing committee and the ones applied by the Secretary of Health in São Paulo city; age in extenso and hearing diagnosis, access during the screening process, return for re-screening and diagnosis. Results: At the university clinic the most prevalent risks indicators for hearing loss were: NICU for more than five days (48%) and use of ototoxic drugs (19,8%). In the maternity the most prevalent risks were: low for gestational age (40,5%) family hearing loss (19%). Concerning the access at the clinic for the retest, it was observed 78,20% and for the diagnosis 73,3%. In the maternity the access was 100%, for retest and for the hearing diagnosis. When applied the risk indicators from the Brazilian Hearing committee in the maternity, only 167 newborns were considered as risk babies. Conclusion: When the HDRI were applied according to Multiprofessional health hearing committee, the numbers of infants that would perform the screening decreased and the prevalence of hearing loss increased. In the adhesion process, it was verified that both in the hospital in the retest of hearing screening, and audiological diagnosis was of 100% / Introdução: A Triagem Auditiva Neonatal Universal (TANU) ainda não foi implantada em grande parte dos hospitais brasileiros, antes da alta hospitalar. Assim sendo, uma alternativa é a realização da avaliação em neonatos e lactentes de risco inicialmente no hospital, ou de forma ambulatorial. Objetivo: Comparar os resultados da Triagem Auditiva Seletiva (TAS) ambulatorial com a hospitalar em uma população de lactentes com indicadores de risco para deficiência auditiva (IRDA). Método: Foram utilizados dois bancos de dados, sendo o primeiro composto de resultados da TAS em uma maternidade com 284 neonatos e lactentes, e o segundo, um banco de dados do ambulatório com 398 neonatos e lactentes. Foram analisadas as seguintes variáveis: IRDA segundo o Comitê Multiprofissional em Saúde Auditiva (COMUSA), e aqueles retirados do edital da prefeitura do município de São Paulo; idade na TAS e no Diagnóstico Audiológico; e ocorrência de adesão durante o processo de triagem, retorno e diagnóstico. Resultados: No ambulatório os IRDA que mais ocorreram foram: UTI-N por mais de cinco dias (48%) e ototoxidade (19,8%). Na maternidade os IRDA que mais ocorreram foram: pequeno para idade gestacional (40,50%) e hereditariedade (19%). Quanto à adesão do ambulatório no reteste, foi de 78,20%, e no diagnóstico foi de 73,3%. Na maternidade a adesão foi de 100%, tanto no reteste como no diagnóstico audiológico. Quando aplicados os IRDA do COMUSA na maternidade, apenas 167 foram considerados de risco, e realizaram a TAS. Conclusão: Quando aplicados os IRDA segundo o COMUSA, o número de lactentes que realizariam a TAS reduziu e a prevalência de deficiência auditiva aumentou. Na adesão, verificamos que a adesão no contexto hospitalar tanto no reteste da triagem auditiva, como no diagnóstico audiológico foi de 100%

The aim of my thesis is to summarize all the information regarding newborn and infant hearing screening programmes, to find out about the awareness of mothers-to-be and to give account on the possibilites of the further professional development of the infant hearing screening. The theoretical part consists of the definitions of terminology relating to this topic, the historical development of the hearing screening and the latest findings and current level of knowledge of the issue both in the Czech Republic and abroad. The practical part of my master's thesis aspires to detect the awareness of expecting mothers and non-professionals through a questionnaire survey. Apart from the results of the survey the practical part also contains an interview with a specialist. Besides the research analysis, I have also focused on informing the target group about the prospects and significance of the newborn and infant hearing screening tests as this is a current issue now.
