Ensuring that children identified with hearing loss receive recommended follow-up is challenging. This program explores the need for standardized data definitions and reporting for EHDI programs, how well a university hearing clinic is able to meet its follow-up goals, and issues surrounding the consistency of hearing aid use by infants post-identification.
