Why Is This Important?

In the United States, approximately 1 to 3 of every 1,000 newborns are affected by significant hearing loss. Without newborn hearing loss screening, the average age of hearing loss detection is about 2 1/2 years of age which can affect the speech development and language acquisition of the child. Treatment for significant hearing loss is recommended prior to 6 months of age to avoid irreversible and permanent speech, language, and cognitive impairments.

Definition

Percentage of infants receiving audiologic follow-up after a positive screening for hearing loss by 3 months of age.

Audiologic follow-up includes pass results on outpatient re-screening exams.

Data Notes

Data for Whites, Blacks, and Asians/Pacific Islanders do not include Hispanics. Hispanic ethnicity includes all races.
