Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the parents' view and attitude to the universal neonatal hearing screening. Parents of randomly selected 200 infants, who underwent hearing rescreening, were surveyed using the author's questionnaire. The universal neonatal hearing screening and the way it is conducted is accepted by the vast majority of the parents in the region of Wielkopolska. The parents with higher social and economic status express their negative emotions associated with the organisation of hearing screening more often, their expectations towards the system of medical care are rising.
