Early Hearing

Hearing loss can impair language and speech development, social skills, learning, and safety. Although almost all infants have their hearing tested before going home from the hospital, the pediatric primary care practice has an on-going responsibility to identify young children who may have late onset or progressive hearing loss or conditions associated with late hearing loss (cytomegalovirus).

This training reviews the medical home’s role in follow-up of hospital based newborn hearing screening, ongoing monitoring of hearing, and linkage to diagnostic and intervention services.

Practices receive:

• Resources and/or referral information
• Billing codes
• 1 CME credit
• Opportunity to earn 25 MOC Part 4 credits
• Meal during the training
