HEARING, NEWBORN: SCREENING

Course overview

Newborn hearing screening (NHS) is the implementation of a set of tests to identify congenital hearing loss in neonates (i.e., infants less than one month of age). This continuing education module is designed to give the reader/learner an increased understanding of NHS, including risk factors for congenital hearing loss, tests used in NHS, and key steps involved in performing NHS. Readers may explore any or all of the topics. One contact hour of continuing education credit is available for those who successfully complete the post-test and evaluation form.
