TITLE VII—EARLY DETECTION, DIAGNOSIS, AND TREATMENT REGARDING HEARING LOSS IN INFANTS
The purposes of this title are to clarify the authority within the Public Health Service Act to authorize statewide newborn and infant hearing screening, evaluation and intervention programs and systems, technical assistance, a national applied research program, and interagency and private sector collaboration for policy development, in order to assist the States in making progress toward the following goals:
TM
Children’s Health Act of 2000Public Law 106–310
Children’s Health Act of 2000Public Law 106–310
(1) All babies born in hospitals in the United States and its territories should have a hearing screening before leaving the birthing facility.
(2) All babies who are not born in hospitals in the United States and its territories should have a hearing screening within the first 3 months of life.
(3) Appropriate audiologic and medical evaluations should be conducted by 3 months for all newborns and infants suspected of having hearing loss to allow appropriate referral and provisions for audiologic rehabilitation, medical and early intervention before the age of 6 months.
TM
Children’s Health Act of 2000Public Law 106–310

(4) All newborn and infant hearing screening programs and systems should include a component for audiologic rehabilitation, medical and early intervention options that ensures linkage to any new and existing state-wide systems of intervention and rehabilitative services for newborns and infants with hearing loss.
(5) Public policy in regard to newborn and infant hearing screening and intervention should be based on applied research and the recognition that newborns, infants, toddlers, and children who are deaf or hard-of-hearing have unique language, learning, and communication needs, and should be the result of consultation with pertinent public and private sectors.

• Approximately 95,000 military families each year - more individual births than all but the 12 largest states
• Approximately 40% of these births occur at military facilities
• Military births take place in all 50 states and more than 20 foreign countries (8.5%)
• More than 2,000 military births per year occur in each of 11 states:– CA, CO, FL, GA, HI, KY, MD, NC, TX, VA, and WA
Non-US sites:– Germany and Japan (both > 2,000)– 3,700 in other sites

– Increase in services or reporting?
• Approximately 1/3 of reported military births had this

Teleconference Issues IdentifiedTeleconference Issues Identified• Most military programs are felt to be reporting data to their
respective state EHDI program• There is no uniform reporting of EHDI data or centralized
database for military families• Audiologists are generally responsible for follow-up
newborns who fail the initial screen• Primary Care Manager (PCM) responsible for follow-up
when no audiologist is assigned to a facility• Good early intervention support system available through
Educational and Developmental Intervention Services (EDIS) both domestically and overseas
• EHDI services spread out in particular for non US sites
