“Screening for hearing loss in primary care - Contemporary Pediatrics” plus 1 more Screening for hearing loss in primary care - Contemporary Pediatrics Posted: 21 May 2020 12:00 AM PDT It is important to identify newborns with hearing loss by age 3 months so that intervention can begin by age 6 months. However, not all hearing impairment is present at birth and all infants and children should receive ongoing surveillance of hearing and communication skills at health supervision visits. 1 This article will review the causes and consequences of hearing loss in childhood and describe how office-based technologies should be used to identify the hearing-impaired child. In addition, I will offer recommendations regarding the need to expedite evaluations by pediatric audiologists so that hearing-impaired children can be identified and treated in a timely fashion. Overview of hearing loss in childhood Childhood hearing loss is divided...
