Audiological Counseling for Parents Regarding Hearing Loss Associated with Congenital CMV Infection

Audiologists have responsibility for sharing information with parents regarding their child's hearing levels that may be associated with congenital CMV. Parents are often not knowledgeable about this infection and the audiologist who is able to convey comprehensive information can facilitate parents being able to obtain appropriate audiological and intervention management for their child. Because children with symptomatic CMV infection may have problems in addition to hearing loss, counseling for these particular children may require a team approach.

  • describe the issues involved in counseling parents regarding hearing loss associated with congenital CMV infection; describe communication methods for interacting with parents; develope content scripts for helping parents understand hearing loss associated with this virus; help parents understand their role; know when to refer for more extensive counseling.
