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.

^¶ Prevalence per 1,000 Screened: (# Hearing loss / # Total Screened) x 1,000

^† Percent Diagnosed Before 3 Months of Age among the Diagnosed: (# Total Diagnosed Before 3 Months of Age / # Total Diagnosed) * 100

^§ Percent Diagnosed Before 3 Months of Age among those Not Passing the Screen: (# Total Diagnosed Before 3 Months of Age / # Total Not Pass) * 100

^ Jurisdiction reported using revised “Parents/Family Contacted but Unresponsive” definition. Refer to 2019 CDC EHDI Hearing Screening and Follow-up Survey Explanations document pages 6-7 for explanations of “old” and “revised” Unresponsive definitions.

^ᵝ There are infants diagnosed with no hearing loss. However they are not captured in the HSFS under the Diagnostic Data section.
