EHDI programs were created to ensure that newborns and infants obtain hearing screenings and receive the recommended follow-up. We are proud to be a member of this program, and see newborns referred by hospitals, home-birth facilites and pediatricians. With each child that is seen, data is reported to the CDC to inform them of the test results and progress made with each child.
