ASHA President Noma Anderson recently submitted testimony to Congress to urge approval of 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.
