Q

What is the protocol for the Universal Newborn Hearing Screening ?

A

Q

Discuss the research done by Yoshinaga-Itano et al., 1998, 2001

A

Four of five identified via UNHS

When hearing loss identified by six months or age or younger, they experience better language, speech, and social-emotional skills

Better language means less parental stress

Language similar to nonverbal cognitive development

Language development –> Low to average through five years of age
