TitlePublication

  ACCESS THE SPANISH EDITION This CODEPEH document analyses and aims to provide answers, based on the most recent scientific evidence, on how to recruit newborns for inclusion in the screening process, what information to provide to the family prior to the test, how to improve the competencies and functioning of the team assigned to […]

CODEPEH Recommendations 2021

ACCESS THE SPANISH EDITION Approximately 40% of children with deafness have an additional developmental disorder or major medical problem, which may delay the age of diagnosis of hearing loss and/or require intervention by other professionals. This situation is referred to as “deafness with added disability” (AD+). The reason why the population of hearing-impaired children is […]

Prevention and Early Diagnosis of Ototoxic Hearing Loss

  ACCESS THE SPANISH EDITION Ototoxicity is defined as reversible or irreversible damage to the inner ear caused by various substances called ototoxic substances that cause hypoacusis and/or disruption of the vestibular system. Permanent hypoacusis significantly affects quality of life and is of particular concern in children. There is often a lack or delay in […]

Update of early detection programmes for pediatric hearing loss: 2019 CODEPEH recommendations

  ACCESS THE SPANISH EDITION  In order to complete the work started in 2018 in which the child hearing screening process was reviewed and updated, in its level 1 Detection, this document completes the review and update of the early detection programs for child deafness, focusing on the phase diagnoses, decision-making regarding treatment and the follow-up process, taking the […]

Actualización de los programas de detección precoz de la sordera infantil: recomendaciones CODEPEH 2018

  ACCESS THE SPANISH EDITION  Early detection programmes for congenital hearing loss have been successfully extended, especially in developed countries, overcoming conceptual errors argued against their implementation or critical to their effectiveness. However, some difficulties and weaknesses are identified in them: the detection of late-developing hearing loss and the percentage of children who did not pass […]

Unilateral or asymmetric hearing loss in children: CODEPEH 2017 recommendations

Unilateral deafness affects just one ear and asymmetric deafness affects both, although with a significant difference between one ear and the other. Most of these types of deafness usually develop before the age of 10, and 50% of all cases are due to genetic causes, occurring in one third of all hearing loss children. Although […]

2018 (2nd Ed.)

There is significant incidence and prevalence of secretory otitis media (SOM) in children, although there is evidence that only a minority of professionals follow the recommendations given in the guides for its clinical management. In order to improve the diagnosis and treatment of SOM, to prevent and/or reduce its consequences on the child’s development, the […]

2017 (2nd Ed.)

  ACCESS THE SPANISH EDITION Significant advances fundamentally in the field of molecular genetics, as well as in imaging diagnosis, together with the lack of a consensus-based protocol to guide and complete the diagnostic process once neonatal screening has confirmed hearing loss, led to this work by the Commission for the Early Detection of Deafness […]

2016 (2nd Ed.)

More than a decade after the approval of the Programme for Early Detection of Infant Hearing Loss for its implementation throughout the country, by agreement of the Ministry of Health and the autonomous communities, the existence of cases not detected in neonatal screening prior to hospital discharge from maternity and the early identification of late […]

2016 (3rd Ed.)

Neonatal hearing screening is now routinely performed in many of the regional health systems in Spain. Despite the significant expansion of hearing loss screening since 2000, its feasibility and the benefits of early identification and intervention, there are still significant challenges to be had. In this article, the Commission for the Early Detection of Hearing […]

2010

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 […]

2004

In recent years, great focus has been placed on the importance of early detection of hearing loss in children, from recommending screening in a population at risk to universal screening. Hearing impairment in children meets all the requirements of diseases that are subject to collective testing for neonatal detection. The top five should at least […]
