Data Notes
In many regions the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the delivery of health care services in 2020, including newborn hearing screening and follow-up services. As a result, infants born in late 2019 and needing hearing screening and/or follow-up services in 2020 may have had difficulties obtaining these services.
Data include information about any services that infants born in the calendar year 2019 received through 2020, until time of survey reporting.
