The newborn hearing screen: why early detection and intervention of pediatric hearing loss is important

Did you know newborn hearing screens are routine tests done in the hospital before your baby goes home? Sometimes, parents don’t realize it happens because they’re sleep-deprived but it does and it’s so important. I welcome Kelsey Kerkhove, a pediatric audiologist, to discuss:

  • What happens during a newborn hearing screen and why it’s important
  • What happens if a baby doesn’t pass the screen
  • Risk factors for congenital hearing loss
  • Signs of childhood hearing loss later in childhood
