AB  - It is well established that permanent childhood hearing impairment (PCHI) has a 
      detrimental impact on speech and language development. The past two decades have 
      seen the gradual introduction of universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) 
      programmes coupled with early intervention programmes. We review studies that 
      have capitalised on the advent of newborn hearing screening to assess the impact 
      of early identification of PCHI on language outcomes in deaf children. The 
      research supports the conclusion that, in children with PCHI, newborn hearing 
      screening and early identification lead to beneficial effects on language 
      development, with the most consistent evidence provided for links between early 
      identification of PCHI and positive language outcomes. Future research needs to 
      encompass a wider range of outcomes and to assess the impact of UNHS in 
      adolescents and young adults.
