New Mexico's Hear Early program screens 95% of newborns, establishing a comprehensive system for early hearing detection and intervention. This statewide initiative addresses critical components for successful newborn hearing screening and follow-up care.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Audiology
  • Healthcare Systems

Background:

  • New Mexico established the Hear Early program in 1996 to address newborn hearing screening.
  • The program has achieved significant participation, covering 31 of 32 birthing hospitals.
  • Hear Early now screens 95% of the state's approximately 27,500 annual births.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and critical components of New Mexico's statewide newborn hearing screening program.
  • To outline the rationale behind the Hear Early program's design and implementation.
  • To share experiences, accomplishments, and challenges encountered in establishing the system.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a comprehensive statewide system involving input from professionals and consumers.
