The correct functionality of the screening of hearing defects is based on a simple organization of the screening, comfort of the examination for the patient, medical yield and economic viability. The newborn hearing screening has been updated by the Methodological Instruction of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic (Journal of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic No. 14/2021). Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) and automatic BERA (AABR - Automatic Auditory Brainstem Responses; BERA - Brainstem Evoked Response Audiometry) are used for the hearing screening of normal newborns. Hearing screening of pre-school children aged 5 has been established by the Methodological Instruction of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic (Journal of the Ministry of Health of the Czech Republic No. 11/2018), and the examination is carried out by means of pure tone audiometry. A positive screening means detection of a hearing defect (suspected permanent hearing impairment), a negative screening means absence of a hearing impairment. The aim of the work is, at the request of the editors of the Journal Czech-Slovak Pediatrics, to provide information on the current methodology of hearing screening for newborns and children aged 5 years in the Czech Republic. The methodology of the work is based on the publication Comprehensive hearing screening of newborns in the Czech Republic - database and new methodology from the Czech-Slovak Neonatology 2/2022.

Keywords: hearing screening, otoacoustic emissions, pure tone audiometry, national registry, database, pediatric audiology center
