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.

LFU / LTD = Loss to Follow-up / Loss to Documentation

Percent Not Pass: (# Total Not Pass / # Total Screened) * 100

Percent with No Hearing Loss: (# No Hearing Loss / # Total Not Pass) * 100

§ Percent with Hearing Loss: (# Hearing Loss / # Total Not Pass) * 100

Prevalence per 1,000 screened: (# Hearing Loss / # Total Screened) * 1,000

Overall Percent LFU / LTD: ((# Contacted but Unresponsive + # Unable to Contact + # Unknown) / # Total Not Pass) * 100

†† Percent LFU / LTD: ((# Unable to Contact + # Unknown) / # Total Not Pass) * 100

§§ Percent Unresponsive: (# Contacted but Unresponsive / # Total Not Pass) * 100
