The Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Programme (UNHS) in Scotland aims to identify all children born with a moderate to profound permanent bilateral deafness early and to promote the provision of ongoing high quality and appropriate assessment and support for deaf children and their families. One or two babies in every 1,000 are born with a hearing loss in one or both ears. Most of these babies are born into families with no experience or history of hearing loss. The hearing screening test is a simple test that will be done within the first few weeks after a baby is born.
