Newborn Hearing Screening

Newborn Hearing Screening is often state mandated for newborns prior to discharging from the hospitals.

Many parents question how the hearing screening is done and why there is a rush to do a hearing screening. In this video Dr. Lindsey Tubaugh and Dr. JJ Whicker discuss what is involved in a newborn hearing screening, why an infant may not pass a newborn hearing screening, and what to expect in terms of a screening if you have a newborn in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Timely hearing screenings are essential not only for early detection and intervention- but also to determine if an infant with hearing loss has congenital CMV (cytomegalovirus) which can only be detected in the first 3 weeks of life.
