TL;DR: An 8-year follow-up study of the birth cohort of babies enrolled in the Wessex controlled trial of universal newborn screening for permanent childhood hearing impairment was undertaken to establish whether UNS would increase the proportion of all true cases of PCHI in children aged 7-9 years who are referred early.

TL;DR: A review of published qualitative evidence relating to factors that block or facilitate access and engagement of parents with DBPs using a thematic synthesis approach found a large number of barriers.
