TI  - False positives in universal neonatal screening for permanent childhood hearing 
      impairment.
PG  - 1903-4
AB  - High rates of false-positive neonatal screens for permanent childhood hearing 
      impairment (PCHI) associated with raised hearing thresholds lead to unnecessary 
      assessments of the baby, which may worry parents. False-positive rates need to be 
      reduced, especially in view of the UK government's announcement that national 
      neonatal screening will be introduced. We report screening criteria that give a 
      six-fold reduction in false-positive rates.
