MAY IS BETTER HEARING AND SPEECH MONTH


The first two years of a child's life are the most critical for learning speech and language. Infants who do not pass the newborn hearing screening should undergo audiologic evaluation before three months of age. Data shows that 98% of newborns in Missouri were screened for hearing loss in 2009. However, 47% of infants who failed their hearing screening did not receive an evaluation. When hearing loss is detected late, language development is already delayed. Ask your clients if their infant passed the newborn hearing screening. Parents may contact their child’s birth hospital or pediatrician for screening results and to learn where the baby can be rescreened or evaluated by an audiologist. Parents may find a nearby audiologist by consulting the Audiological Service for Missouri Newborns guide at this address: http://health.mo.gov/living/families/genetics/newbornhearing/publications.php.
