Additionally, the risk factors for newborn hearing losses were inquired. 219 newborns passed TEOAE test at the first examination; in 183 newborns the test results were suspicious. Only 24 of 183 newborns, who were called for the second test, attended and all passed. The risk factors for probable hearing loss (drug use in mother, aminoglicozide use in newborn etc.) were found in 125 of 219 newborns who passed in the first test and 115 of 183 newborns who failed in the first test. Although, hearing loss were diagnosed in none of the children from both groups, routine use of newborn hearing screening was suggested to diagnose the newborn hearing losses in the expected ratio of the population, however, the low rate of attendance to control decreased the efficacy of the screening.}, number={1}, publisher={Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi}
