Data on Hearing Loss in Children

• Each year, CDC sends the Hearing Screening & Follow-up Survey to state and territorial Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs to request information on infant hearing screening, diagnostic evaluation, and enrollment in early intervention services. The survey helps to measure progress toward identifying infants with permanent hearing loss across the United States.
• Data are also available on topics related to the causes, risk factors, and characteristics of children with hearing loss, transition into adulthood, and economic cost.
