Health Status Outcomes for Newborn Hearing Screening

Health Status Outcomes

Most infants receiving intervention by this age develop language and social skills approximating their normal hearing peers by kindergarten enrollment. Intervention delayed beyond six months has been shown to have less successful outcomes.
