Infant Hearing
Screenings
Centers for Disease Control, Early Hearing Detection & Intervention
(CDC-EHDI)
EHDI (Early Hearing Detection and Intervention) programs are located in
states and are designed to identify infants with hearing loss by universal
screening. This allows identified infants to be enrolled in an early
intervention program. These intervention programs are designed to help
facilitate the development of visual and/or spoken language and the cognitive
(thinking) skills needed to succeed academically and socially.
National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management
The goal of the National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management at Utah State University is to ensure that all infants and toddlers with hearing loss are identified as early as possible and provided with timely and appropriate audiological, educational, and medical intervention.
Marion Downs National Center for Infant Hearing
Early identification and intervention of hearing loss is a basic human right, which should be available to all infants who are deaf or hard of hearing.
National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders: My Baby's Hearing
Today, many babies will have their hearing tested before leaving the hospital. The tests are simple and painless and take only a few minutes. (Includes answers to questions you may have about testing.)
