Data Notes

Data include information about any services that infants born in the calendar year 2021 received through 2022, until time of survey reporting.

αThe program is experiencing data migration challenges, therefore data may not be accurate.

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

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

*Total Not Pass includes infants who did not pass hearing screen (60,824) and infants who missed hearing screen due to being sent straight to diagnostic evaluation (2,746).

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

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

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

Prevalence per 1,000 births: (# Permanent Hearing Loss / # Births Reported to EHDI Program) x 1,000

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