La estrategia de despistaje auditivo en población con indicadores de riesgo ha sido hasta el día de hoy la más empleada. Consiste en someter a pruebas de detección auditiva al 6-8% de los recién nacidos en vez de a su totalidad. Esta estrategia, si bien de inferior coste que la estrategia de detección universal, tiene el inconveniente de identificar tan solo al 40-50% de los casos de hipoacusia (6,38), dado lo difícil que resulta detectar alguno de esos indicadores de riesgo, y en especial los antecedentes familiares que con frecuencia son reconocidos a posteriori, y tras la identificación previa del niño por detección universal o sospecha familiar. 1, record 5, Spanish, - despistaje%20auditivo
