Abstract
Paediatric audiology services and screening programmes are currently under review. To investigate current practice and performance of the school hearing screening programme (SHSP) by means of a questionnaire. SHSP was found to detect previously unrecognised hearing loss at low cost. Wide variation in practice was shown, and the majority of services had no computerised system for data collection. There is a need for nationally agreed protocols and quality assurance procedures.
