EHDI 1-3-6 Goals
MS statute mandates hearing screenings for all newborns
NOTE: Children at risk for late-onset hearing loss are tracked for later follow-up
If the child does not pass both ears simultaneously on the 2nd or optional 3rd screen, the child is referred to an audiologist (or ENT) for a diagnostic exam
If hearing loss is confirmed, the child is referred to the Mississippi First Steps EIP and the family will be provided access to appropriate early intervention services
