Delays in Diagnosis of Congenital Hearing Loss in Rural Children
Link
Description
Analyzes Kentucky's newborn hearing-screening program data
to determine the frequency of congenital hearing loss for
both rural Appalachia and non-Appalachia regions of the
state. Includes Appalachia and non-Appalachia hearing loss
data by the number of births, failed newborns screenings,
types of hearing loss, percent of families obtaining
diagnostic testing following a failed screening test, and
children enrolled in an early intervention program.
