Resumo: Hearing health programs are predominantly aimed at children between 0 and 3 years of age or those older than 7. Children between these two age groups are not primarily in any of these programs, but in this group, there is a higher occurrence of middle ear problems, there is also difficulty or delay for the diagnosis of minimal or mild hearing loss. Objective: To identify hearing alterations in preschool children through a hearing screening program. Method: This is a cross-sectional, exploratory, observational study conducted in two Public Schools, in the School Health Program (PSE) of the city of Mauá. The sample consisted of 109 children between 5 and 6 years of age and parents/guardians and/or caregivers who agreed to answer the questionnaire about hearing, ear diseases, speech and language and to go through hearing screening procedures. The following procedures were performed: Otoscopy; recording of otoacoustic emissions by transient stimulus and by distortion and tympanometry product. Results: 28,44% of children failed otoscopy 30.8% in Tympanometry; 16.7% in DPOAE and 19.2% in TPOAE. 31,19% of the children failed at least one of the four procedures. Only one child failed all four procedures. Regarding the analysis of the association between the parents' answers to the questionnaire and the test results, no statistical significance was observed for any of the questions. Conclusion: When using the failure criterion in any of the procedures used in this screening, it was possible to verify that 31,19% of the children should be referred for complete audiological evaluation
