Establishing Infant Hearing Programs in Hospitals

Beth A. Prieve 1 and New York State Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Consortium

1 Syracuse University, Syracuse, NY

In summary, our experience with the New York program leaves us with the following impressions:

1. Inpatient universal hearing screening is relatively easy, although it seems overwhelming at first. However, it is "relatively easy" only if the screeners are competent, dedicated, and hardworking, and you have good computer support.

2. The harder part is follow-up, tracking, and working with early intervention programs. The second year of the project will focus on these areas.

3. Screening using TEOAEs or a combination of TEOAEs and automated ABR gives us very acceptable referral rates.

4. Universal hearing screening has allowed us to identify infants at a much younger age than was possible before the program began.

Key Words: universal newborn hearing screening, TEOAEs, ABR, neonatal risk factors
