Abstract

Excerpt

With the advent of universal newborn hearing screening programs as a standard of care and continuing technological advances, enhanced early intervention experiences for children who are deaf and hard of hearing and their families may be an attainable goal. The last two decades have brought much progress, but parents still have a range of experiences with newborn hearing screening. Family difficulties challenge us to strive for continuous quality improvement in the implementation of early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) processes.
