Universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS) is being widely implemented because it is thought to greatly improve outcomes for children with congenital deafness. However, it is also very costly. Between 2003-5, all New South Wales babies were offered UNHS, while Victorian babies were offered a risk-factor screening and referral program. This two-year 'natural experiment' paves the way for a unique population effectiveness and cost-effectiveness study of UNHS as the children reach 5 years of age.

普遍新生儿听力筛查（UNHS）正在广泛实施，因为它被认为可以极大地改善先天性耳聋儿童的预后。然而，它的成本也非常高。 2003-5 年间，所有新南威尔士州的婴儿都接受了 UNHS，而维多利亚州的婴儿则接受了风险因素筛查和转诊计划。这项为期两年的“自然实验”为 UNHS 在儿童年满 5 岁时进行独特的人口有效性和成本效益研究铺平了道路。
