This document indicates the qualitative aspects with which all programmes must comply and other quantitative aspects, or quality standards according to the Commission for the Early Detection of Hearing Loss (CODEPEH).
It is critical for a hearing loss detection programme to work properly.
The goal does not end once hearing loss has been detected, but goes further to covers early diagnosis and intervention. This gives the best results. This process is extremely complex and requires qualified, trained personnel.
