Objective: We have evaluated the results of newborn hearing screening of our center between June 2014 and October 2015. Material and Methods: We have examined the 1664 newborns between June 2014 and October 2015 in our center. To take at least 3 dB HL emission response at 3 frequency bands has been accepted as pass criteria for screening tests by transient evoked otoacoustic emission. The newborns who were obtained pass criteria for both ears have been accepted as passed the test. Results: 1664 newborns were included in the study. 1416 newborns (85.1%) passed the first transient evoked otoacoustic emission. 248 newborns (14.9%) did not pass the first screening test. 209 (12.5%) newborns who did not pass the first test have passed the second screening test. The early diagnosis of hearing loss in newborns is important for being able to start treatment in early term. So, the children with hearing loss would be begun to treat and their language and speech developments would be provided.
