OBJECTIVE: Systematize evidence on the effectiveness of universal screening tests for hearing loss in newborns to prevent deterioration in language development. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The study has a systematic, observational and retrospective review design; of articles with full text, which identified their grade or quality of evidence according to the Grade System. Likewise, the population was made up of 10 articles obtained from the following databases Pubmed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, Dialnet, Scielo, and Lilacs. Of which 90% correspond to randomized clinical studies and 10% to systematic review design, corresponding to the countries of Iran 20%, Spain 20%, Italy 10%, South Africa 10%, Nigeria 10%, Brazil 10%, Chile 10% and Colombia 10%. RESULTS: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 100% demonstrate the effectiveness of universal hearing loss screening tests in newborns to prevent deterioration in language development. CONCLUSIONS: Of the 10 articles reviewed, 10 out of 10 show that universal screening tests for hearing loss in newborns are effective in preventing deterioration in language development; Likewise, their cognitive function, intellect, cultural, emotional and socioeconomic development; Therefore, the delay in diagnosis has great consequences for learning with limited educational opportunities; Timely diagnosis through newborn hearing screening and appropriate rehabilitation measures will improve with better long-term outcome; that is, benefiting newborns, parents, and cost-effectiveness-benefit; bringing healthy children into the world, without risk of hearing problems and with high human potential in the future.
