Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Services (Newborn Hearing Screening and Followup)

Early Hearing Detection and Intervention assists with the early identification and intervention of people with hearing loss.

• Infants referred from the screening process complete diagnostic audiological evaluation by 3 months of age.
• Infants with diagnosed hearing loss receive appropriate interventions by 6 months of age, including amplification selection (if appropriate) and Early Intervention.
