(2022) Likely impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on newborn hearing screening and follow-up services in the United States in 2020. Journal of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention, 7(3), 1-5.

This perspective aims to highlight aspects of the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) newborn hearing screening and follow-up processes that were impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and considers factors that likely impacted follow-up after newborn hearing screening among infants born in the United States during 2020. Efforts to minimize the potential impact of missed or delayed identification of hearing loss in infants and young children will also be discussed to help guide future program improvement activities.
