2020 Annual Data Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Program
Results from the 2020 HSFS indicate nationwide performance declines in meeting EHDI benchmarks for infants born in 2020 compared with previous years. CDC and partner organizations (e.g., HRSA, NCHAM) have published an article in the Journal of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention, discussing factors that likely impacted the EHDI processes and contributed to these declines. Read the full article or read a summary of the key findings here.
