It is known that 0.1 to 0.2 percent of the newborn population has hearing disorders which can lead to retarded development. The detection of infant hearing disorders, therefore, seems to be quite crucial. Although several screening methods for infant hearing loss have been proposed so far, a definitive test with sufficient reproducibility and reliability is yet to be developed. To establish a reliable method for early detection of infant hearing disorders, currently available literature related to this problem was reviewed.
