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 diagnostic and intervention services. As a result, infants born in 2020 and needing hearing screening and/or follow-up services may have experienced delays or had difficulties obtaining these services.

Data include information about any services that infants born in the calendar year 2020 received through 2021, until time of survey reporting.

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

*Total Not Pass includes infants who missed hearing screen due to being sent straight to diagnostic evaluation.

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

Percent with No Hearing Loss among Infants Not Passing Screen: (# No Hearing Loss / # Total Not Pass) * 100

§ Percent with Permanent Hearing Loss among Infants Not Passing Screen: (# Permanent Hearing Loss / # Total Not Pass) * 100

µ Percent with Transient Hearing Loss among Infants Not Passing Screen: (# Transient Hearing Loss / # Total Not Pass) * 100

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

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

†† Percent LFU / LTD due to Unable to Contact and Unknown among Infants Not Passing Screen : ((# Unable to Contact + # Unknown) / # Total Not Pass) * 100

§§ Percent Unresponsive due to Contacted but Unresponsive among Not Passing Screen : (# Contacted but Unresponsive / # Total Not Pass) * 100
