Hearing is essential for normal development and the acquisition of speech and language in children, allowing appropriate global development. The consequences of hearing loss (HL) are various, and those that refer to the most relevant communication. However, the earlier the HL is diagnosed, appropriate measures can be taken so that the difficulties are alleviated or even eliminated. Children with risk indicators for HL (RIHL) require monitoring of the development of hearing function in order to identify early cases of HL and/or late onset.
