Question 37

The Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Tracking and Surveillance System goals have been established by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (2014).

The seven goals are:

Answer 37

Goal 1: All newborns will be screened for hearing loss before 1month of age.

Goal 2: All infants who screen positive will require a diagnostic audiologic examination before the age of 3 months.

Goal 3: All infants identified with hearing loss will receive early intervention services prior to age 36 months.

Goal 4: Infants with late, progressive, or acquired hearing loss will be identified early.

Goal 5: Infants with hearing loss will have a primary care provider who will collaborate and coordinate care with the EHDI Tracking and Surveillance System at the CDC.

Goal 6: Each state is responsible for completing the EHDI Tracking and Surveillance System.
