AB  - OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the benefits of universal newborn hearing 
      screening (UNHS) seen at age 8 years persist through the second decade. DESIGN: 
      Prospective cohort study of a population sample of children with permanent 
      childhood hearing impairment (PCHI) followed up for 17 years since birth in 
      periods with (or without) UNHS. SETTING: Birth cohort of 100 000 in southern 
      England. PARTICIPANTS: 114 teenagers aged 13-19 years, 76 with PCHI and 38 with 
      normal hearing. All had previously their reading assessed aged 6-10 years. 
      INTERVENTIONS: Birth in periods with and without UNHS; confirmation of PCHI 
      before and after age 9 months. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Reading comprehension 
      ability. Regression modelling took account of severity of hearing loss, 
      non-verbal ability, maternal education and main language. RESULTS: Confirmation 
      of PCHI by age 9 months was associated with significantly higher mean z-scores 
      for reading comprehension (adjusted mean difference 1.17, 95% CI 0.36 to 1.97) 
      although birth during periods with UNHS was not (adjusted mean difference 0.15, 
      95% CI -0.75 to 1.06). The gap between the reading comprehension z-scores of 
      teenagers with early compared with late confirmed PCHI had widened at an adjusted 
      mean rate of 0.06 per year (95% CI -0.02 to 0.13) during the 9.2-year mean 
      interval since the previous assessment. CONCLUSIONS: The benefit to reading 
      comprehension of confirmation of PCHI by age 9 months increases during the 
      teenage years. This strengthens the case for UNHS programmes that lead to early 
      confirmation of permanent hearing loss. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: 
      ISRCTN03307358.
