Findings demonstrated adequate sensitivity and specificity for the processing of screening for hearing impairment for uHear, Digit-in-Noise Test, HearTest, and HearScreen. A limitation to this review included significant differences in methodology between studies resulting in an inability to performance a meta-analysis and find pooled specificity and sensitivity data. Further research is warranted.
