Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) in the Inpatient Setting
The Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH) supports early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) for deaf and hard of hearing infants. Successful EHDI programs strive to screen all infants by one month of age, complete a diagnostic audiological evaluation to confirm a hearing loss by three months of age and provide intervention for hearing loss by six months of age. At pediatric hospitals with neonatal intensive care units (NICU) and/or cardiac care units (CCU), the inpatient population is at a higher risk for hearing loss and is generally not discharged home following completion of the initial hearing screening, complicating the EHDI timeline. Additionally, medically complex newborns are sometimes transferred from their birth hospitals to higher level NICU facilities prior to completion of the newborn hearing screening. This presentation will highlight how the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s On-Call Audiology Team manages medically complex patients in the inpatient setting. Data review of pass/refer rates, obstacles to confirming a hearing loss diagnosis and case studies will be presented.
- Review the current JCIH position statement and barriers to following these guidelines for medically complex newborns and infants with extended inpatient stays
- Evaluate newborn hearing screening data from Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago
- Examine how the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's On-Call Audiology Team strives to uphold JCIH and EHDI guidelines through a review of our protocols and case studies
