hearing screenings
Checking your ears
Hearing screenings are quick tests to detect potential hearing loss, typically administered to newborns, schoolchildren, or workers exposed to loud environments.
Unlike comprehensive audiological evaluations, screenings simply identify who needs further testing: All newborns receive hearing screenings before leaving the hospital.
The plural reflects that these are routine, repeated assessments across populations.
