“…The results of Table i confirm the view that it is very important to listen to parents' views about their children -11 out of 23 children had their hearing loss first identified by their parents. This must be compared with professionals (medical officers and health visitors) who only identified eight out of 23 children (35%), This is in agreement with Bannon and Carter (1990) who also found that most of their children with hearing loss were diagnosed as a result of parental concern. The one child detected by high-risk screening was bom outside the district.…”

“…If the three children with developmental delay are excluded then there were four children who 'passed' the distraction test and had severe hearing loss. Bannon and Carter (1990) point out the implications of 'passing' the 8-month hearing test -these children are wrongly labelled as 'hearing children' which may give misplaced parental confidence and contribute to further delay in diagnosis.…”

The records were studied of all children identified in the last 16 years as having severe sensorineural hearing loss (bilateral 60 dB or more, across all frequencies) in west Essex (a typical health district with a child population, 0-16 years, of 54,000). The person to first suspect the child's hearing loss and the results of their 8-month distraction test are discussed. The reasons for delay in diagnosis and acquisition of aids are examined.

The change in the performance of the HVDT as targeted neonatal hearing screening has been introduced has been examined for the Nottingham district. The records for all children born in the period 1984-1993 within the district and having a permanent hearing loss of > or = 50 dB in the better ear have been examined. The referral route leading to ascertainment of the hearing loss as well as the result of any screening tests were noted. The data shows an increase in the number referred prior to the HVDT, mainly as a result of neonatal screen failure. At the same time there has been a reduction in the sensitivity of the HVDT from 78% in the first half of the decade to 38% for the second half. There are also some indications of an increase in the coverage and the failure rate over the time. Possible reasons for these changes are discussed.
