ASHA President Noma Anderson recently submitted testimony [PDF] to urge Congress to approve a 10% increase in funding for the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) program.
The federal EHDI programs, through the Health Resources Services Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, provide funds to states to screen, diagnose, and provide early intervention services for hearing loss in infants and young children.
For further information, contact Elizabeth Mundinger, ASHA's Director of Federal and Political Advocacy, at emundinger@asha.org or 800-498-2071, ext. 4473.
