  • Title: [The practice guideline 'Hearing impairment' (first revision) from the Dutch College of General Practitioners; a response from the perspective of general practice].

    Journal: Ned Tijdschr Geneeskd; 2007 Feb 24; 151(8):453. PubMed ID: 17378298.
    Abstract:
    The new guidelines on hearing loss from the Dutch College of General Practitioners are well stated and supported by clearly described evidence. Rightfully so, new screening methods for detecting hearing loss in young infants are included in the guidelines. However, these new techniques may generate many false-positive test results, notably in children with a low risk ofhearing impairment. The general practitioner should inform parents about these adverse effects of screening. Another important role for the general practitioner is in the detection of relevant hearing loss in the elderly, especially in those who show signs of depression and cognitive impairment.
