Abstract:
Hearing loss in infants has severe, lifelong consequences. The critical period for speech and language development is from birth to age two, so every effort must be made to diagnose hearing problems early. Several simple screening and testing procedures can be carried out in a normal office visit. The use of a 'high risk registry' is advocated for newborns. Parents are usually the first to suspect a problem. Believe the parents... get the child tested.
